Arbitration

Arbitration in Jordan is an important method of resolving commercial and contractual disputes, particularly where parties have agreed to refer qualifying disputes to arbitration instead of resolving them through ordinary court proceedings.

Al-Jamal Law Office provides legal services in arbitration matters, from reviewing arbitration clauses and assessing disputes to preparing claims, defenses, legal submissions, and evidence and representing clients throughout arbitration proceedings.

What Is Arbitration?

Arbitration is a dispute resolution mechanism based on an agreement between the parties to submit certain disputes to an arbitrator or arbitral tribunal.

The arbitration agreement therefore plays a central role in determining whether a particular dispute falls within the scope of arbitration.

An arbitration agreement may appear as a clause within a commercial contract or as a separate agreement.

Drafting and Reviewing Arbitration Clauses

Many arbitration disputes can be influenced by how the original arbitration clause was drafted.

Unclear provisions concerning the scope of arbitration, procedures, applicable rules, or other important matters may create additional disagreements once a dispute occurs.

Al-Jamal Law Office assists businesses with drafting and reviewing arbitration clauses as part of commercial agreements, helping identify legal and procedural issues before a dispute arises.

Representation in Arbitration Proceedings

An arbitration case requires organized preparation of the underlying contract, facts, legal claims, defenses, and evidence.

Depending on the proceedings, legal work may include preparing the request for arbitration, responses, written submissions, documentary evidence, expert materials, and legal arguments.

Al-Jamal Law Office represents clients in arbitration disputes and develops a legal strategy according to the contract, arbitration agreement, facts, and applicable procedural framework.

Commercial Arbitration Disputes

Arbitration is frequently relevant to complex commercial relationships.

Disputes may involve contractual performance, payment obligations, delays, termination, interpretation of contractual provisions, or compensation claims.

In substantial commercial disputes, financial and technical evidence can be as important as the underlying legal arguments.

Arbitration or Litigation?

Arbitration should not automatically be considered the appropriate solution for every dispute.

The correct route depends on whether an applicable arbitration agreement exists, its scope, the nature of the dispute, the underlying contract, and the relevant legal framework.

Early legal assessment can therefore help determine which dispute resolution mechanism applies.
