Commercial arbitration is a means of settling disputes by referring them to a neutral person, an arbitrator, selected by the parties for a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented to the arbitration tribunal. The parties agree in advance that the decision will be accepted as final and binding.
Where we act
Members of our chambers are regularly briefed on the full lifecycle of commercial matters — from formation, finance and contract through dispute, dissolution and recovery. Our counsel appear in the High Court, Supreme Court of Appeal, the Companies Tribunal and arbitration forums across South Africa.
How we work
Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.
Who briefs us
Our Commercial Arbitrations members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
