Dispute Resolution

When you disagree, litigation is not your only course of action, and sometimes it is not the best. There are many other solutions, and we can walk you through all of them.

There are multiple ways of dispute resolution, and you will need knowledgeable, trustworthy advise throughout.

Arbitration

When the time and costs involved in full litigation is prohibitive, arbitration may be your best form of recourse. The arbitration process involves the appointment of multiple arbitrators, a short period of evidence discovery, and a few hearings where the arbitrators can hear your case and get the information they need to make a decision. At Mohamed AlWatani & Associates, we offer our services as arbitrators, and are fully certified by the Bahrain Chamber for Dispute Resolution to act as arbitrators in your civil and commercial disputes.
