Personal bio
Noor Siddiqi is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb) with over 25 years of legal experience spanning arbitration, mediation, and complex commercial litigation.
He is appointed as an arbitrator and has conducted substantial mediations in both family and commercial matters. His approach centres on precision, strategic clarity, and a genuine commitment to resolution, with an emphasis on restoring working relationships between parties wherever possible.
Noor's practice is shaped by extensive litigation experience, including advocacy before the High Court and Court of Appeal in high-value cross-border matters. That foundation carries through into his current work, from mediating a £30 million financial remedy settlement in divorce proceedings to acting in a $100 million international arbitration concerning debt recovery. This depth of experience allows him to guide parties towards resolution with both pragmatism and commercial awareness.
He brings a strong understanding of regional and global affairs, with particular insight into cross-border matters involving the Middle East.
Noor has developed longstanding professional relationships with senior figures in the UAE judiciary and holds an advisory appointment on legal and religious affairs in the United Kingdom.
A solicitor, scholar, and committed humanitarian, Noor's career reflects a consistent dedication to justice, reconciliation, and human dignity.
