We can meet clients directly in Bujumbura, although our home office is in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by videoconference. Our Burundi Arbitration Lawyers Desk also has access to Burundi jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking French and English.
Our Burundi Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Burundi lawyers, who are involved depending on the specific needs of a given arbitration. This ensures that our clients obtain the best arbitration legal representation while also maintaining cost-effectiveness for arbitrations involving Burundi.
