EAIAC provides a platform for international arbitration practitioners, corporate lawyers, academia professionals, business community stakeholders and in-house counsel from East Africa and beyond to share best practices, network, and deliberate on international arbitration and investments. This year’s theme is ‘Refocusing regional trade, energy and arbitration’.
2018 is the year for African introspection. In trade, 44 members of the African Union recently signed the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA).
