Full profile

Construction arbitration in Egypt

Construction arbitrations in Egypt are mostly seated in Cairo, under the rules of the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA) or the ICC, and governed by the Arbitration Law No. 27 of 1994. Arbitration of a dispute under an administrative contract needs the approval of the competent minister. Many FIDIC-based contracts also require a dispute board before arbitration.

How we can help

  • Party-appointed delay or quantum expert: independent report, joint statement and hearing evidence
  • Shadow expert to test the case before an expert is appointed
  • Review of the opposing expert’s report
  • Delay and quantum sections of the statement of claim or defence
  • Support to tribunal-appointed experts with analysis and technical memoranda
  • Reports in Arabic or English

Records and evidence

Arbitrations are won on the records. We index the programme, progress reports, minutes and correspondence early, rebuild the as-built where needed, and make sure every date in the expert report can be traced to a document.

Your first conversation

What we cover

A free 30-minute call. We look at the forum and timetable, the contract and the dispute board history, the claims in issue, the state of the records, and whether experts are already appointed.

What to share first

A short description and your next deadline are enough. If you like, name the forum (CRCICA, ICC or ad hoc) and the next procedural deadline. You do not need to send contract documents before the call.

Scope and fee

After the call we agree which documents we need. Once we have reviewed them, we confirm the scope and fee in writing before any work starts.

Send a short brief

No meeting needed. Give us your work email and two sentences about the issue. Please do not attach contract documents at this stage.






    Ahmed Elsayed replies within 1 working day (Sunday to Thursday, Cairo time). Your brief goes only to the Solvix sales inbox. If we go on to work together, we sign an NDA and then send you a private shared folder for the contract documents.
