International Commercial Arbitration & Trade Contracts

The Idea

Most international trade disputes start with an arbitration clause written in a hurry, or a contract that never fixed the governing law or the place of decision. Before contracting we help you with careful drafting; after a dispute we give strong representation before the arbitral tribunal or the court; and after the award we enforce it inside Egypt.

What We Do

• Draft and review the arbitration clause: the centre, seat, language, number of arbitrators and governing law.
• Draft import, export, trade and supply contracts, and review contracts offered to you by the other side.
• Represent parties in arbitral proceedings, inside or outside Egypt, and prepare the memoranda and evidence.
• Enforce arbitral awards inside Egypt. Learn about enforcing foreign judgments and awards.
• Collect trade receivables and negotiate settlement before arbitration, where settlement serves you better.

How We Work with You

A first remote consultation, then a study of the contract and documents with a written opinion, then a written fee agreement, then follow-up of the file with periodic reports in Arabic or English. See the full engagement steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key terms of an arbitration clause?

The arbitral institution, the seat, the language, the number of arbitrators and the governing law. These choices shape the whole dispute and are best made before signing, not after the disagreement begins.

Can you represent me in an arbitration outside Egypt?

Yes. We represent parties in arbitral proceedings both inside and outside Egypt and prepare the memoranda and documents.

I have an arbitral award in my favour — how is it enforced in Egypt?

We handle the enforcement of arbitral awards in Egypt. Details are on our page on the enforcement of foreign judgments and awards.
