Dispute Resolution law firms in Africa.
Commercial litigation, arbitration, mediation and enforcement across African courts.
Commercial dispute resolution across Africa encompasses both court-based litigation and alternative dispute resolution — principally arbitration and mediation. High Court litigation in South Africa is concentrated in the Gauteng and Western Cape Divisions; Nigerian commercial disputes are heard in Federal High Courts and state High Courts, with a well-developed arbitration market centred in Lagos; Kenyan disputes are handled by the High Court Commercial Division and increasingly the NCIA. Arbitration has grown significantly as the preferred mechanism for cross-border commercial disputes, particularly in infrastructure, energy and private equity exit matters. Seats in Mauritius, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria each have distinct procedural rules and enforceability considerations under the New York Convention.
