Qatar seminar focuses on arbitration clauses

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Qatar recently hosted a seminar titled “Drafting Arbitration Clauses,” presented by commercial law firm Squire Patton Boggs.
 
The free seminar, led by Tarek Saad and Kevin Oles of Squire Patton Boggs, focused on the importance of arbitration clauses in commercial contracts and how to draft them. The information session was part of an ongoing series put on by ICC Qatar’s Commission on Arbitration and ADR and ICC Qatar’s monthly arbitration series that is meant to boost investments and trade between Qatar and international businesses.  

“This presentation, as with other topics to be covered in the monthly series, is intended to share international best practice in arbitration and also to suggest clear, practical steps to take, and strategies to pursue, to avoid disputes in the first instance,” Charbel Maakaron, managing Pprtner of Squire Patton Boggs.
 
The monthly arbitration seminars will continue until May.
