International Arbitration Lawyers in Iraq

Commercial, Construction & Investment Arbitration Counsel in Baghdad and Across Iraq

For more than 18 years, Al-Nesoor Law Firm has represented multinational companies, foreign investors, government contractors, financial institutions, and Iraqi businesses in complex international arbitration matters involving Iraq.

From our headquarters in Baghdad and offices across Iraq and the region, we advise clients in commercial, construction, energy, infrastructure, and investment disputes under major institutional and ad hoc arbitration rules.

Our arbitration lawyers combine knowledge of Iraqi law with international dispute resolution experience, helping clients protect their investments, enforce contractual rights, and manage cross-border legal risk.

International Arbitration & Cross-Border Dispute Resolution

International business transactions and major projects frequently involve parties, contracts, assets, and legal obligations across multiple jurisdictions. When disputes arise, arbitration can provide a neutral, confidential, and commercially focused forum for resolving complex claims.

Al-Nesoor Law Firm acts as Iraqi counsel and co-counsel in international arbitrations conducted under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, the London Court of International Arbitration, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre, and other arbitral institutions.

We support clients throughout the arbitration lifecycle, including dispute assessment, tribunal proceedings, evidence preparation, hearings, settlement negotiations, and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in Iraq.
