Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Justice, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) Qatar Branch, and the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC) co-hosted the third edition of Doha Arbitration Days 2026 on September 20th at The Plaza Doha, LXR Hotels & Resorts.
Patronized by Minister of Justice H.E. Ibrahim bin Ali bin Issa Al Hassan Al-Mohannadi, the conference convened leading figures from Qatar, the region, and globally to discuss arbitration and dispute resolution. Building on its two successful predecessors, the event attracted over 500 participants and served as a vital platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration on pressing issues in arbitration practice.
The 2026 programme featured a keynote address by Lord Neuberger, along with the participation of Dr. Cesar Pereira, CIArb Global President and other distinguished arbitration professionals from Qatar and abroad. Three key panels explored the evolving landscape of arbitration:
1. "When Arbitration Meets the Courts: The Realities of Judicial Practice" examined the interaction between arbitral proceedings and national courts.
2. "The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Contractual Disruption, Commercial Loss and Arbitral Decision-Making" analyzed the legal and commercial consequences of disruptions and the role of arbitration in resolving complex contractual disputes.
3. "Arbitration Institutions and Organisations in Transition" discussed how arbitral institutions are adapting to shifting market expectations and international dispute resolution developments.
Dr. Saad bin Ahmad Al-Muhannadi MCIArb, Chair of CIArb Qatar Branch, emphasized the significance of Doha Arbitration Days as a forum for strengthening professional exchange and collaboration within the arbitration community, highlighting its role in advancing professional standards and supporting Qatar's growth as a hub for arbitration and dispute resolution.
The collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Justice, CIArb Qatar Branch, and QICDRC are aimed at fostering a modern, effective, and internationally connected dispute resolution environment that bolsters Qatar's legal and commercial landscape.
