Arbitration

Scope of service

The final scope is confirmed after reviewing the facts, documents, jurisdiction, and applicable deadlines.

Audit the arbitration agreement, parties’ capacity and signing authority, arbitrability, seat, governing law, language, institutional rules, tribunal composition, and any mandatory approval requirements.

Assess jurisdiction, admissibility, limitation, notice and multi-tier dispute clauses, parallel proceedings, interim protection, and the available court-support route before substantive submissions begin.

Prepare or answer the notice or request for arbitration, formulate claims, defenses and counterclaims, quantify relief, and manage nomination, challenge, and appointment of arbitrators.

Build an evidence plan covering contracts, contemporaneous records, witnesses, expert disciplines, disclosure or production requests, translations, privilege, confidentiality, and chain of custody.

Conduct institutional or ad hoc proceedings through procedural conferences, written pleadings, interim applications, witness and expert examination, hearings, costs submissions, and settlement discussions.

Review the award for correction or interpretation, identify the limited statutory grounds for setting aside, and plan recognition and enforcement in Egypt or abroad against available assets.

Typical documents

Review can begin with available records; additional documents may be requested for the matter.

  • Signed contract, arbitration agreement, amendments, and incorporated rules
  • Party constitutional records, signing authority, and powers of attorney
  • Notices, correspondence, meeting records, and claim chronology
  • Payment, performance, technical, and damages evidence
  • Witness material, expert reports, and requested translations
  • Court orders, procedural directions, prior decisions, and award copies

Authoritative references defining the service’s general framework. The official Arabic text, later amendments, and matter-specific rules remain controlling.
