Aisha Abdallah, ALN Kenya Anjarwalla & Khanna

Building world-class disputes practices in Africa — on your own terms.

Chris Campbell sits down with Aisha Abdallah, Head of Dispute Resolution at ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna, for a powerful conversation on leadership, culture, and the evolution of arbitration and disputes work across Africa.

Aisha shares her journey building a female-led, top-tier disputes practice, navigating cross-border commercial conflicts, and challenging misconceptions about legal practice on the African continent. The episode also explores rule of law, mentorship, capacity-building, and why global arbitration must better reflect lived regional expertise.

An essential listen for anyone working across borders — or thinking seriously about the future of the profession.
