Strength in Numbers or Too Crowded? Can Multiple Arbitration Centers Thrive Together?

This panel will examine the proliferation of arbitration centers throughout the Middle East and North Africa, including those in Lebanon, Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait. Speakers will discuss whether having multiple centers in one region fosters beneficial collaboration and diversity, or results in market saturation and duplication of services. By exploring each center’s unique strengths and potential overlaps, the panel aims to offer insights into how these institutions can coexist and thrive.
