Thrilled to share that I'll be joining as one of the esteemed guest speakers at Paris Arbitration Week 2024 for a captivating discussion on the rapidly evolving landscape of arbitration, with a special focus on the Arab world! Arab jurisdictions have long been recognized for their robust presence in arbitration, particularly in North Africa and the Gulf. However, recent data highlights a notable shift, with Arab users increasingly opting for arbitration clauses with seats outside the region, notably Paris. We'll be diving deep into pivotal questions: How do Arab parties navigate the selection of a "neutral" venue? What role does the seat play within the region's arbitration framework? Is Arabic the primary language choice for intra-Arab disputes? And what about the application of Arab law? Plus, we'll explore the significance of an arbitrator's nationality in Arab disputes. Alongside renowned experts and representatives from major arbitration institutions, I'm excited to share insights from diverse Arab jurisdictions and international seats, including Paris. Don't miss this enlightening discussion! Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for further updates. #ParisArbitrationWeek #ArbitrationTrends #Regionalization #ArabWorld #LegalInsights #ArbitrationExperts #MCOLegal #LexisNexis #HageChahine #PAW2024

With great pleasure and delight, AELEX extends a warm welcome to all participants of the 8th ICC Africa Conference on International Arbitration in Nairobi, Kenya. This year's theme, "Emerging ADR Trends in Africa", reflects the dynamic nature of Alternative Dispute Resolution on the continent. As Africa experiences rapid growth and evolving legal landscapes, innovative approaches to conflict resolution are critical. This conference serves as a vital meeting point for leading figures in African arbitration to connect, share experiences, and explore cutting-edge trends shaping this field. We are particularly excited to delve into the effective and efficient resolution of disputes, considering the rise in intra and inter-continental conflicts. We are honoured to partner with esteemed organisations who share our commitment to advancing arbitration in Africa. In particular, we are honoured to be one of the sponsors of this conference. We commend the ICC International Court of Arbitration, led by Claudia Salomon and the ICC Kenya Commission on Arbitration and ADR, led by Nikki Desai, for putting this conference together. As a leading African arbitration firm, AELEX is deeply invested in the advancement of this field. We actively participate in shaping the legal framework, from advocating for regulatory amendments to engaging stakeholders. We are particularly proud of the newly adopted Arbitration and Mediation Act in Nigeria, which aligns with global best practices by incorporating provisions from the UNCITRAL Model Law and the Singapore Convention on Mediation. This signifies Nigeria's unwavering commitment to becoming a central hub for arbitration within Africa. Through thought-provoking presentations, engaging panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities, this conference promises to be a catalyst for positive change. We look forward to fostering dialogue, exchanging ideas, and collaborating to develop more efficient methods of conflict resolution across the globe.

We are delighted to share that the dispute resolution team of Nikcevic & Kapor in cooperation with MIKIJELJ JANKOVIC & BOGDANOVIC has successfully achieved recognition and enforcement of two ICC arbitral awards for our client from Nigeria. The awards, each valued in the multi-million range, mark a significant achievement for our client and exemplify our firm’s commitment to excellence in international arbitration. Particularly gratifying is the success we have seen in Serbia regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. This development underscores the positive trajectory of the Serbian market towards fostering an arbitration-friendly climate. We are proud to be at the forefront of this progress and to contribute to creating a more conducive environment for arbitration in the region. #arbitration #ICCarbitration #arbitrationinserbia
