    Court-Annexed Mediation Scheme Redefining Dispute Resolution through Mediation

    Launched in 2019 as the first initiative of its kind in the region, ADGM Courts’ Court-Annexed Mediation Scheme has had a significant and sustained impact. Since its inception, the Scheme has consistently achieved a settlement rate of around 80% year on year.

    Court-annexed mediation is a flexible and confidential process in which the mediator actively assists parties towards a mutually acceptable resolution, with the parties in ultimate control of the decision to settle and of the terms of settlement. Mediation services are available through the Court both before and after the commencement of legal proceedings.

    This milestone initiative not only reinforces ADGM Courts’ leadership in global dispute resolution but also nurtures a new generation of highly skilled mediators. It offers a prestigious platform to practise within a world-class jurisdiction, while providing the ADGM community with accessible and outstanding mediation services delivered by a carefully selected panel.
