Understanding Kenya's Legal Framework for Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution in Kenya is underpinned by a robust legal framework, offering various avenues for resolving conflicts. The primary mechanisms are outlined in the Civil Procedure Act for litigation, the Arbitration Act 1995 for arbitral proceedings, and the newly enacted Mediation Act 2023, which institutionalises mediation as a formal dispute resolution process. Additionally, the Small Claims Court Act 2016 provides a faster, cost-effective avenue for minor commercial disputes. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates guides clients through the complexities of court-annexed mediation at the High Court (including the Commercial & Tax Division at Milimani Law Courts) and private arbitration through institutions like the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA). Our expertise ensures that clients choose the most appropriate and effective legal mechanism for their specific dispute.
