The event emphasized the ICC Qatar’s commitment to advancing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in alignment with international standards and local legal developments.

ICC YAAF Regional Representative Ahmed Habib highlighted: “The level of engagement during the seminar clearly reflected the growing demand for legal capacity building in arbitration and dispute resolution across Qatar and the wider Middle East. At ICC YAAF, we are committed to meeting this need by creating diverse opportunities for young practitioners and legal professionals to expand their knowledge, enhance their skills, and build meaningful networks.

We will continue to promote a deeper understanding of ICC's arbitral procedures and other effective dispute resolution mechanisms, empowering the legal talent in the region to meet current and future business challenges." (QNA)
