Franklin Morgan & Associates Successfully Represented in DIAC Arbitration for $113M Award

New York, NY, 1st August 2025, Franklin Morgan & Associates is proud to announce that in a recent ruling, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) has awarded the firm $113 million in a cross-border commercial dispute. The case created a big stir in the legal community not only because of the scope of the dispute, but also for how it positioned Dubai to the world as a high-value destination for international arbitration.

The arbitration was led by Dr. Shaun Gregory Morgan, a professional with expertise in both legal and financial sectors and decades of experience across various jurisdictions. Although all information about the case and the tribunal decision are protected under DIAC protocol, insiders have confirmed that multiple regulatory and legal frameworks were involved in the case. The process was long and exhaustive, and the tribunal only reached its conclusion after extended arguments from both parties discussing complex matters such as contract enforcement, commercial liabilities, and cross-jurisdictional compliance.

Why is this arbitration such a big deal?

To understand the importance of this ruling, we first need to understand the stature of the institution offering it. The Dubai International Arbitration Centre, aka DIAC, was established in 1994 for resolving complex conflicts in the commercial space, mainly in the Middle East and broader international markets. Backed by the Dubai government, it is trusted by a major section of multinational corporations, governments, and global investors for neutral, efficient, and enforceable arbitration services. Cases that land at DIAC are often complex, cross-jurisdictional, and high-stakes; both financially and reputation-wise.

So, when the DIAC tribunal presents an award of $113 million for a high-profile case, along with the legal victory, it also signifies an appreciation for the intelligence of strategy, integrity of case-handling, and the ability to manage complex disputes. Indeed, most arbitration decisions stay private, but when large sums are involved, they can highlight wider trends in how international disputes are being handled. Legal experts say the size of the award and the proficiency of the process for the case in question could influence how future cross-border disputes are managed in the Gulf region.

Details of the Case

Although DIAC has overseen several sizable settlements in the past, this particular ruling is amongst the largest in its history, capturing the attention of many. There were extensive contractual arrangements involved in the dispute that the legal team had to go through a number of different regulatory channels to get interpreted. The specifics of the dispute have not been publicly disclosed, in line with DIAC’s confidentiality standards. Nevertheless, insider sources have confirmed that it involved multiple claims from several parties, financial transactions across different legal systems across borders, and complicated contracts that required long and detailed arbitration proceedings. The $113 million award reportedly took months of reviewing evidence and back-and-forth legal arguments in front of a panel.

“This was no easy contract dispute. For the regulatory issues alone, it crossed three jurisdictions. We needed to go deep into financial instrumentations and their treatment under international commercial law just to scratch the surface of the matter”, said Dr. Shaun Gregory Morgan, the lead representative for the case. He added that the biggest challenge was aligning the contractual requirements with different local rules and compliance standards.

It is to be noted however that Dr. Morgan and his team’s ability to combine financial expertise with regulatory insight played a key role in shaping the case’s outcome. This also points out how disputes are becoming more interdisciplinary now and, therefore, so are the requirements for their resolutions.

DIAC’s Growing Role in Global Arbitration

Once viewed primarily as a regional forum, the Dubai International Arbitration Centre has increasingly been operating at a much more intercontinental level. The shift is evident not only in terms of the cross-border disputes it administers, but also in the evolving legal frameworks it applies. With ongoing reforms, updated procedural rules, and growing participation from international counsel, DIAC appears to be moving toward a much greater global relevance.

In addition, this $113 million case resolved in the forum now also serves as a benchmark to illustrate the neutrality of the DIAC platform and its enforceability for resolving high-stakes commercial disputes. It is already prompting many businesses, particularly those in Asia, Africa, and the Gulf, to reassess their approach to international contracts. Experts believe that the ruling will influence the structure of all future contracts, especially for companies operating across the region.

The case’s sheer scale, multifaceted nature, and the sizable award have turned it into a huge topic of discussion among all arbitration forums and legal think tanks. So far, no appeals or follow-up proceedings have been reported to be filed. Till now, the award stands uncontested as well. However, legal professionals, investors, and arbitration bodies worldwide are keeping a close watch on the award details and how it may influence subsequent enforcement actions and contract standards across sectors.
