Led by founding partner Saad Al Doseri, we represent clients in multiple types of litigation, arbitration and mediation. The strength of our dispute resolution team is internationally renowned and we have significant experience in the local Bahrain courts at every level.

Many of the disputes we handle involve international jurisdictions, which are often factually and procedurally complex. Our data gathering and in-house document handling procedures enable every case to be handled efficiently. We work with experts in many fields to ensure that all court related matters are dealt with effectively.

When clients’ cases are subject to arbitration, our experienced team can ensure that the awards are legally sound and ready for enforcement by the Bahraini Courts.

Our expertise also includes enforcement actions of foreign arbitral awards in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Bahrain formally acceded to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 4 of 1988, and Bahrain also has reciprocity treaties with the following countries:

• India
