The Centre

A seat built for disputes that cross borders.

Established in Doha to give commercial parties a neutral, enforceable alternative to national courts.

Arbitration & dispute resolution

Tahkeem was founded in 2011 as an independent institution administering arbitration under its own rules and the UNCITRAL framework. It is governed by a court of eminent jurists who never sit as arbitrators — a deliberate wall between administration and decision.

Its seat in West Bay hears matters in Arabic and English, applies whatever law the parties chose, and issues awards that Qatari courts and 170+ New York Convention states will enforce.

Fourteen years on, it has administered disputes worth billions of riyals — and its record is that most of them were never heard of again, which is precisely the point.

What the Centre guards

01

Independence

The court appoints; it never adjudicates. No arbitrator answers to the institution that confirmed them.

02

Confidentiality

Existence, filings, and awards are private by default — a commercial necessity, not a courtesy.

03

Efficiency

Fixed timetables, expedited tracks under QAR 3M, and scrutiny that catches errors before the award is signed.

04

Enforceability

Every award is drafted to survive challenge and cross a border.

The panel of arbitrators

Appointed for independence and sector fluency — not to fill a roster.
