Dr. Adel Kheir Law and Arbitration Center
Dr. A. Kheir Law & Arbitration Center (AKLAC) is an independent non governmental institution.
The decision to establish AKLAC was based on the increasing significance of commercial arbitration within the new Egyptian arbitration Law no.27/1994
and internationally, which seemed to justify the need for forming an independent institute to collate and further pursue knowledge on arbitration as
well as to promote arbitration as a training institute for arbitration and an information center on national, Arab and international arbitration
(see other objectives below).
As from January 1997, AKLAC published a quarterly legal publication (ARBITRATION & LAW) in Jan, April, July and October.
AKLAC organized, many significant conferences in Cairo for International Commercial Arbitration in which law professors from,
Egypt and European countries lectured. The participants, in addition to the Egyptian entities, were from Arab countries such as the UAE,
the State of Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

common objectives of arbitration worldwide.
