The Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) has partnered with legal tech firm Jus Mundi in a strategic move to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations, marking a significant step forward in modernizing arbitration services in the region.
Through this collaboration, DIAC’s case management team will be trained on Jus AI, Jus Mundi’s advanced AI-powered legal research and workflow platform. The initiative aims to enhance the speed, accuracy, and quality of arbitration processes while streamlining internal workflows.
The partnership also reinforces DIAC’s push for greater transparency. For the first time, DIAC will publish its decisions on challenges via Jus Mundi’s global platform, providing open access to key legal materials for practitioners, researchers, and the wider arbitration community.
In addition to operational enhancements, the agreement includes a series of joint thought leadership projects focused on innovation in dispute resolution. These will include legal education initiatives and opportunities for collaboration across the global arbitration landscape.
A key highlight of the partnership is the upcoming launch of DIAC’s Virtual Academy, scheduled for later this month. Jus Mundi will play a central role in shaping the academy’s AI-driven curriculum, aimed at upskilling legal professionals in emerging arbitration technologies.
Jehad Kazim, Executive Director of DIAC, emphasized the value of the partnership, stating it will empower legal practitioners and advance international arbitration standards. Jean-Rémi de Maistre, CEO of Jus Mundi, called the collaboration an opportunity to “help shape the future of dispute resolution” through transformative AI tools.
This alliance positions DIAC at the forefront of tech-driven arbitration, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global hub for legal innovation.
