The Framework of Commercial Arbitration in Kenya
Understanding the legal framework is crucial when seeking legal advice on commercial arbitration in Kenya. The primary legislation governing arbitration in Kenya is the Arbitration Act, 2019, which is largely based on the UNCITRAL Model Law. This Act provides for domestic and international arbitration, outlining procedures, the powers of arbitral tribunals, grounds for challenging awards, and the enforcement of both domestic and foreign awards. Key institutions like the Kituo cha Usuluhishi (CIArb Kenya) play a vital role in administering arbitrations and setting standards. Our advocates are well-versed in this statutory landscape and relevant case law, enabling us to offer authoritative advice on structuring arbitration agreements, selecting arbitrators, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements for any commercial dispute.
