Aceris Law’s Tanzania 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 Tanzania, i.e., where Tanzanian law applies, a contract is executed in Tanzania, the dispute is brought by or against a party in Tanzania, or the Tanzanian State or a Tanzanian 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 Tanzania and neighbouring States.
We maintain permanent access to offices in Dar es Salaam 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 Tanzania Arbitration Lawyers Desk also has access to Tanzanian jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking native English. William Kirtley, the founder of Aceris, formerly worked in Tanzania.
Our Tanzania Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Tanzanian 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 Tanzania.

For instance, we have provided legal representation to an East African client serving as a contractor in cross-border construction projects, have provided legal advice regarding an expropriation claim concerning an East African State, have served as counsel for an East African client 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.
