Commercial Arbitration

The possibility of settling disputes by arbitration, subject to the legally prescribed limits, came into force in Mozambique in the latter half of 1999 with the Arbitration, Conciliation and Mediation Law (Law 11/99 of 8 July), adding this new modern means of settling disputes to the usual ways of settling disputes via the judicial or administrative courts under the civil procedure law in force in Mozambique. The disputes that arise from legal commercial relationships in the broad sense, including those arising from investment can, as a rule, be settled by arbitration.

The parties (individual businesspeople or companies) to these conflicting relationships can opt for arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration, Conciliation and Mediation Law, either in advance by means of an arbitration clause in the contract or subsequently by means of an arbitration agreement, which should be drawn up expressly.

Our lawyers are registered at the CACM (Arbitration, Conciliation and Mediation Center) as arbitrators in case you need our assistance on such way of dispute resolution.
