Professor Emilia Onyema makes Africa's 20 Arbitration Power List 2022

Professor Emilia Onyema has been named in the Africa Arbitration Academy’s Power List 2022.  

Complied every year by the Africa Arbitration Academy, this prestigious recognition, now in its 2nd edition, was established by the Africa Arbitration Academy, Association of Young Arbitrators (AYA) and Africa Arbitration to celebrate the achievements of leading arbitration practitioners from Africa and recognize their contributions to the development of arbitration in the continent. 

In reaction to her inclusion on the list, Professor Onyema said:  

“I am grateful to the Africa Arbitration Academy for their valuable recognition of my arbitration practice and our work in supporting the development of arbitration in Africa.” 

Professor Onyema's work in this field includes convening the SOAS Arbitration in Africa conference series, publishing the Arbitration in Africa survey and co-authoring the African Promise, a pledge which aims to improve the profile and representation of African arbitrators. Professor Onyema has also published widely on arbitration related issues and sits as an independent international arbitrator.
