Aceris Law’s Cameroon Arbitration Lawyers Desk is a dedicated team of lawyers at Aceris Law, a specialised international arbitration law firm, which accompanies clients involved in arbitrations concerning Cameroon, i.e., where Cameroonian law applies, a contract is executed in Cameroon, the dispute is brought by or against a party in Cameroon, or the Cameroonian State or a Cameroonian State entity is involved.
Aceris Law’s Harvard, Oxford and Sorbonne trained lawyers are admitted to bars of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and North America and have significant prior experience dealing with commercial, construction and investment treaty arbitrations under the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LCIA, SCC, SIAC, ICDR, VIAC and other arbitration rules, many of which have concerned Central Africa.
We can meet clients directly in Douala or Yaoundé, although our home office is in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by videoconference. Our Cameroon Arbitration Lawyers Desk also has access to Cameroonian jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking French and English.
Our Cameroon Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Cameroonian 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 Cameroon.
We have significant prior experience with arbitrations involving West and Central Africa. For example, Aceris Law’s Cameroon Arbitration Lawyers Desk represented a West African company in an ad hoc arbitration under OHADA law against a large French company. We have provided legal representation to an African business serving as a contractor in cross-border construction projects, have provided legal advice regarding an expropriation claim concerning a neighbouring African State, have served as counsel for an African business in a dispute concerning the mining industry and have served as counsel in a public international law dispute involving East Africa. Aceris Law has also served as counsel in multiple commercial arbitrations between African and European companies.
