Our services are priced competitively through a clear and transparent fee schedule with no hidden fees. Parties can turn to the Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre for institutional arbitration, ad hoc arbitration, and if they wish to use the Centre’s hearing rooms.

Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre

In December 2023, the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced the launch of the Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre (branded as arbitrateAD). Effective 1 February 2024, the Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre’s new governance structure and arbitration rules will replace the existing rules of the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation and Arbitration Centre (ADCCAC). Pending cases under the existing rules of ADCCAC will continue to be administered by the existing team under the auspices of ADCCAC. From 1 February 2024, new disputes will be administered by the Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre under its new arbitration rules. The Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre’s rules will be published on the website upon formal adoption by its newly-established Board of Directors.
