Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — ADR Law & Dispute Resolution in Kenya
What ADR and dispute resolution services does Okoth Obera Law Advocates provide?
We provide commercial mediation, domestic and international arbitration (ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL, Kenya Arbitration Act), negotiation support, statutory dispute resolution before regulatory bodies, ADR clause drafting, and enforcement of arbitral awards.
What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation where a neutral mediator helps parties reach a consensual settlement — the outcome is not binding unless the parties agree to it. Arbitration is a private adjudicatory process where an arbitrator hears the dispute and issues a binding award. We advise on the most appropriate mechanism for your dispute.
Can an arbitral award be enforced in Kenya?
Yes. Domestic arbitral awards are enforceable under the Arbitration Act 1995 through the High Court. Foreign arbitral awards are enforceable in Kenya under the New York Convention 1958, to which Kenya is a signatory. We handle both domestic and cross-border award enforcement.
Should I include an arbitration clause in my commercial contracts?
In most commercial contexts, yes. A well-drafted arbitration clause provides faster, confidential, and more commercially sensible dispute resolution than court litigation. We draft ADR clauses tailored to your business relationships, specifying the appropriate rules, seat, language, and number of arbitrators for your contracts.
