Resolving Commercial Disputes: Arbitration in Tanzania

Arbitration has become the forum of choice for commercial disputes in Tanzania - faster, more flexible and more private than litigation, when the arbitration agreement is drafted well. This seminar shows you how to use it effectively.

Our dispute resolution team covers drafting enforceable arbitration clauses, the arbitration process under the Arbitration Act 2020, interim relief, and the recognition and enforcement of awards before the Tanzanian courts. Real anonymised case studies illustrate what works and what fails.
