Arbitration is one of the available options for resolving disputes between parties as an alternative to resorting to national courts. This option is considered the most appropriate in many commercial dealings, as it has many advantages that overcome its high costs compared to litigation. Such advantages include, but are not limited to, the ability of the client, his legal consultants, or any technical or engineering representative to attend the sessions on behalf of the client and to represent him\her in the dispute.  Moreover, arbitration sessions are held to only consider the relevant dispute of the parties as well as the experts’ opinions on the matter in question. This makes arbitration more concerned with the full details and the parties of the disputes compared to courts that usually consider a number of cases in the same held sessions. Arbitration is also characterized by being private and confidential, as there can be pre-agreements on the confidentiality of deliberations and arbitration judgments. This is not usually the case when it comes to lawsuits before the courts, as their judgments and results are announced to the public and the discussions take place before other attendees since the sessions are open for public. Moreover, arbitration is a faster way to achieve results compared to lawsuits, as arbitrators are usually devoted and committed to end the dispute within a specific period, if possible.
