Arbitration in Qatar

Recognition as Arbitration Law Expert of the Year in Qatar places Mashael M Alsulaiti within one of the fastest-developing dispute resolution environments in the Gulf. Qatar has invested heavily in infrastructure, energy and major projects, and with that activity comes a significant volume of complex commercial contracts — and, inevitably, disputes. Arbitration has become a favoured mechanism for resolving such disputes, offering parties a private, flexible and internationally enforceable alternative to court litigation.

Qatar has taken deliberate steps to strengthen its arbitration framework, and Doha hosts institutions and facilities aimed at supporting both domestic and international arbitration. For businesses operating in the region — particularly in construction, real estate, banking and finance, and the corporate and commercial sphere, all areas in which the firm practises — the ability to resolve disputes efficiently through arbitration is a significant advantage. Arbitration is especially valuable in cross-border matters, where a neutral forum and the international enforceability of awards give parties confidence.

Arbitration practice typically involves advising on and drafting arbitration clauses, representing clients as counsel in proceedings, and navigating the interaction between arbitration agreements, institutional rules and the supervisory role of the courts. It demands a blend of advocacy, procedural command and deep knowledge of the underlying commercial law — construction, corporate, banking and beyond — which aligns closely with the firm’s multi-disciplinary practice.

Leadership and recognition

As Founder & Chairperson, Mashael M Alsulaiti has built and leads a firm that positions itself among Qatar’s leading providers of legal services. Founding and chairing a law firm carries responsibility not only for individual mandates but for the standards, culture and direction of the practice as a whole, and recognition of an individual expert reflects the standing she has established in the market.

It is against this background that Mashael M Alsulaiti’s Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 recognition as Arbitration Law Expert of the Year in Qatar should be read: an endorsement of specialist arbitration expertise delivered through the Doha-based firm she founded in 2012. Businesses operating in or with Qatar, and parties to disputes with a Qatari connection, will find in Mashael Alsulaiti Law Firm a practice whose arbitration focus and broad commercial capability are well matched to the demands of the sector.

For businesses operating in or with Qatar, the value of the award lies in the confidence it lends when choosing counsel for dispute resolution and complex commercial work. Arbitration is increasingly the forum of choice for high-value disputes in the Gulf, and the choice of an experienced specialist can materially affect both the process and its outcome. Independent recognition of an individual expert helps parties identify practitioners whose authority is well established, and Mashael M Alsulaiti’s award reflects the standing she has built as founder and chairperson of a leading Qatari firm.
