With the growth of international transactions and business projects, arbitration has become the preferred method of conflict resolution for companies operating in Egypt and other regions of the globe, as it offers advantages over court litigation in terms of privacy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. However, handling the arbitration proceedings properly and effectively necessitates extensive legal knowledge and experience.
Sadany & Partners Law Firm is one of the prominent law firms in Egypt, with veteran arbitration lawyers representing clients in significant and complex disputes before domestic and international arbitration bodies.
Why Arbitration Is a Strategic Choice for Dispute Resolution
Due to the importance of arbitration in the current business environment, most commercial contracts contain arbitration clauses. The arbitration clause empowers the contracting parties to resolve disputes arising between them amicably, avoiding the lengthy and costly litigation path. In addition, the arbitration also provides other significant benefits, which make it better than ordinary litigation, including:
- Confidentiality: The arbitration proceedings are characterized by privacy and information protection, as they are attended by the disputed parties and stakeholders only and are not declared or published to the public.
- Quick Overcome and Effectiveness: Arbitration proceedings are often quicker than litigation, especially in disputes involving complex or specialized matters.
- Expert Decision-Makers: The parties may hire arbitrators with experience in the relevant sector or in law.
- International Enforcement: The Arbitration decisions can be easily enforced in any area of the world under the New York Convention, in which Egypt is a party.
- Flexibility: In the arbitration, the parties can customize the proceedings and determine the arbitration seat and applicable law commensurate with their own needs.
