Event Overview

“Exploring Global Challenges: Litigation, Arbitration and Fraud in a Connected World”

4th Annual Litigation Conference / 15th Annual Arbitration Conference / Business Crime and Civil Fraud Seminar

Is litigation or arbitration the better choice for resolving disputes in an increasingly globalised world? Has the establishment of international commercial courts in certain jurisdictions halted or hindered the rise of international arbitration as a preferred global dispute resolution mechanism?  Are litigation or arbitration proceedings better suited to deal with allegations of fraud?  What needs to be considered when coordinating parallel litigation or arbitration proceedings and regulatory or criminal investigations?

Join industry leaders and practitioners for discussions, panels, and networking opportunities that will delve into the strengths and challenges of each approach.

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is a city of culture and regional importance. It has become a major hub for law and business in the Middle East, blending modern developments with strong cultural roots. As home to key government institutions and a center for international dispute resolution, and commercial law, Abu Dhabi leads in setting legal standards across the region, especially in finance, real estate, construction, and investment. This makes it an ideal location for the AIJA joint seminar co-organized by Business Crime and Civil Fraud, International Arbitration and Litigation commissions where legal professionals can explore the city’s important role in shaping regional laws that impact the wider Middle East.

Beyond its legal significance, Abu Dhabi offers a unique cultural experience where tradition meets modernity. Known for its stunning architecture, active arts scene, and commitment to preserving Emirati heritage, the city acts as a bridge between East and West. Conference attendees will not only be part of key legal discussions but will also have the chance to experience the unique blend of tradition and innovation that positions Abu Dhabi as a leading city in the Gulf region.
