Etihad Law

Etihad offers sophisticated arbitration services designed for companies and investors engaged in complex commercial and cross-border disputes. Our arbitration team has extensive experience representing clients before regional and international arbitration institutions, as well as in ad hoc proceedings governed by various rules such as UNCITRAL.

With deep familiarity in Iraqi arbitration practices, along with exposure to arbitral work in the UAE, UK, and other international venues, our lawyers excel in managing high-value disputes involving construction contracts, commercial agencies, joint ventures, supply agreements, investment conflicts, and infrastructure projects. We support clients from the earliest stages of dispute avoidance and negotiation through the drafting of arbitration clauses, representation during arbitral hearings, and enforcement of arbitral awards before Iraqi courts.
