المجمع الملكي البريطاني للمحكمين - فرع مصر
On 5 February 1999, the Cairo branch of CIArb was established as the first ever CIArb Branch in the region and the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (CRCICA) was announced as its seat. In July 2018, the updated Branch Model Rules named the Branch “the Egypt Branch”.
As of 1999, the Cairo Branch, in collaboration with CRCICA, held regular membership courses and around one third of members at that time were Arab members from outside Egypt.
The Egypt Branch Mission and Objectives
The CIArb Egypt Branch aims at promoting and representing the CIArb and its services, and encouraging the use of out-of-court dispute settlement mechanisms in Egypt and throughout the MENA region.
The Branch acts as the focal point for its members and arbitration/ADR users, within its geographical region, through providing a wider knowledge of the law and practice of arbitration and ADR, arranging various types of activities and conducting arbitration and ADR training courses.
The Egypt Branch Membership and Structure
The Branch is composed of members divided into associates, members and fellows. A special scheme is also available for students allowing them to become students’ members during their period of study.
The majority of the Egypt Branch members (67.2%) are young members below 40 years. About a quarter of members are females. The business profile of Branch members reflects diversity and inclusion, as it comprises a variety of business sectors and professional expertise.
Branch Annual General Members Meeting (AGM)
All the members are part of the Annual General Meeting, that convenes once a year.
Branch Committee
the AGM elects the members of the Committee. The Committee’s members elect a President, a vice president, an Honorary Treasurer and an Honorary Secretary General.
