In partnership with Hamad bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) College of Law, QICDRC hosted an online webinar on ‘Resolving Disputes through Mediation’. A panel of distinguished speakers critically examined the extent to which mediation serves act as a viable form of alternative dispute resolution across a wide range of key areas. In particular, the panel looked at the advantages mediation offers over litigation and arbitration, looking at a potential increase in mediation services during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the qualities required of a successful mediator. The panel further provided an overview of the QICDRC Mediation Rules, which were launched last year.
