Dispute Resolution The increase in investment and projects across Africa in recent years has also given rise to disputes. International arbitration is becoming the preferred dispute resolution mechanism, as most agreements are governed by international law, alongside local courts that continue to play a key role.
We understand the different ways a dispute can be resolved, and are flexible enough to respond to our clients' needs. We are also adept at conducting complex arbitrations across the continent, swiftly mobilising teams to manage major disputes in all major arbitral centres and rules. We act for a wide range of clients on the full spectrum of disputes – from disaster-level events and big-ticket, cross-border disputes to general commercial litigation and local enforcement of international awards. We seek to minimise the pressures our clients face, leveraging our local presence and established relationships across Africa, as well as managing preferred local counsel in other countries.
Protecting our clients’ interests during litigation in the courts is a priority – and we are always mindful of the political context and the potential economic and publicity benefit in achieving early resolution where necessary. Recognised as ‘pre-eminent’ and ‘elite’ by the leading independent legal directories, we take a practical, commercially-minded approach to resolving disputes across the full range of sectors in which our clients operate.
Clyde & Co is well placed to advise clients on contractual disputes and injunction- related proceedings arising in sectors such as mining, insurance and energy
