Season 8 Episode 4 - The Desert Seats — The Arbitration Station

No Happy Fun Time this week, just a deep-dive. Brian sits down with Dimitriy Mednikov, an international-arbitration specialist at Habib Al Mulla & Partners in Dubai, together they decode the UAE’s three-tier system: on-shore courts, the DIFC, and the ADGM [TIME 01:56]. Expect candid takes on why the DIFC often serves as a “conduit” for enforcing foreign awards and on how ADGM’s wholesale adoption of English statutes (contrasted with the DIFC’s more hybrid approach) informs counsel strategy.
