On 10 June 2024, CRCICA was proud to participate in the “Beyond Borders: Elevating Corporate Excellence through Strategic Global Structures” conference, held at the St. Regis Hotel, Cairo. Organized by Arab Counsel and Manifesto in partnership with Juristax Group (Mauritius) and the Egyptian Regulatory Reform and Development Activity (ERRADA), the conference served as a premier platform for discussions on strategic global structures, corporate governance, and the evolving role of international arbitration in fostering investment and business dispute resolution.
Representing CRCICA, Dr. Mohamed Hafez, Associate Director for Legal Affairs, was a key speaker in a fireside chat titled “Building Bridges: The Quest for a Regional Arbitration Centre.” He provided valuable insights into the challenges, opportunities, and pressing need for a mature regional arbitration centre in the Arab world. His presentation underscored CRCICA’s pivotal role as a leading regional and international arbitration institution, highlighting its neutrality, robust caseload, international recognition, and commitment to continuous improvement. He also outlined the new CRCICA Arbitration Rules 2024, emphasizing their adaptability to the evolving needs of arbitration users and global trade landscapes.
Dr. Hafez further engaged in a high-level roundtable discussion on “Fostering Foreign Investment: The Interplay of International Arbitration and Egyptian Legislation.” This session, facilitated by ERRADA, aimed to develop a white paper and policy recommendations for regulatory authorities. The roundtable explored how international arbitration interacts with Egyptian laws, examining ways to enhance the legal framework to attract and protect foreign investment while fostering economic growth.
CRCICA extends its appreciation to the event organizers and all participants for facilitating a thought-provoking exchange on arbitration, corporate strategy, and investment regulation. As arbitration continues to evolve as a cornerstone of international business, CRCICA remains committed to enhancing dispute resolution mechanisms and supporting economic development in the region.
