Africa Arbitration (AA), an online resource for arbitration in Africa was created to project the growing arbitration industry in Africa. This initiative is coming ahead of the projected increase in investment activities in Africa, which will inevitably lead to increase in the settlement of disputes by arbitration. AA is led by an Advisory Council made up of senior international arbitration practitioners and academics drawn from across Africa, America, Europe, and the Middle East, and recognized for their expertise in leading directories including Chambers, Legal 500 and GAR 100. AA features the Africa Arbitration Blog (AAB), which provides a platform for arbitration practitioners to project their thoughts on arbitration issues to the international arbitration community. AAB is run by academics and practitioners with extensive knowledge and experience of arbitration in Africa. While we welcome and encourage contributions from all members of the international arbitration community on topics relating to Africa, AAB fields an impressive team of contributors made up of partners and senior associates from law firms across Africa, America, Europe and the Middle East.
