Aceris Law’s Rwanda 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 Rwanda, i.e., where Rwandan law applies, a contract is executed in Rwanda, the dispute is brought by or against a party in Rwanda, or the Rwandan State or a Rwandan 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 Rwanda and neighbouring States.
We maintain permanent access to offices in Kigali to meet and work with clients, although our home office is in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by videoconference. Our Rwanda Arbitration Lawyers Desk also has access to Rwandan jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking French and English.
Our Rwanda Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Rwandan 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 Rwanda.
