New episode of Causeway Conversations is now live, our podcast series looking at the legal issues that matter most to businesses operating across the Gulf.

In this episode, Bradley Price (Manama) and Dania Ghazzawi (Al Khobar) from Al Tamimi & Company’s Dispute Resolution team compare notes on handling commercial disputes in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. They talk through the choices businesses have when a dispute can’t be avoided, whether it’s mediation, arbitration or litigation, and why arbitration has seen a sharp rise in the Kingdom.

The conversation also offers some practical guidance on virtual hearings, the contract provisions that often get overlooked until there’s a problem, and why good documentation can make all the difference when a dispute arises.

But actually, the best time to think about a dispute is before it happens. Have a listen or watch the full conversation now.
