Following the issuance of Syrian Law No. 4 of 2008 on Civil, Economic and Commercial Disputes, the Arbitration & Reconciliation Center was established in Damascus in xxx in line with Al Rustom Law Office’s mission of facilitating the interests of Syrian businessmen and economic institutions by providing a range of arbitration choices for dispute resolution.
The Center focuses on settling civil and commercial disputes through arbitration and reconciliation as a legal alternative to traditional judiciary system where reaching a judgement usually takes longer time, causing moral and material damages to litigants as the process drags on. The Arbitration & Reconciliation Center commits to settling disputes and enforcing judgements within a prescribed period of time dictated by the circumstances of each individual case, while abiding to the highest standards of impartiality, professionalism and the law both in letter and spirit.
To realize this goal, the Center adopts the principles of flexibility, accuracy and selecting a body of highly competent associate arbitrators of law experts, businessmen and professionals known for their deep knowledge, expertise and ethics in tackling major, complex legal disputes.
The Arbitration & Reconciliation Center aspires to continue living up to its reputation by providing its services according to the highest international standards that are adapted to fit the Syrian legal and social context in a way that contributes to boosting the country’s economy, simplifying legal procedures and facilitating access to a fair, productive dispute resolution process.
