A Practitioner Built on Principle
Isaac Aluoch Polo Aluochier S.Arb, S.Adj is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb) — the world's foremost international association of dispute resolution professionals, headquartered in London — and a practising arbitrator and constitutional law practitioner based in Kenya, with active appointment to the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA).
Drawing on over two decades of professional practice across Kenya and the United Kingdom, Isaac combines the rigour of international arbitration practice with deep constitutional expertise. He has appeared at every level of Kenya's court hierarchy — the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court — in matters of constitutional significance, including the landmark challenge to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and litigation affirming the constitutional obligations of senior State officers.
Beyond courtroom practice, Isaac has built a distinctive institutional dispute resolution framework grounded in Kenya's constitutional architecture — offering independent tribunal services for commercial, succession, property, employment, and cooperative disputes. He is the author of two authoritative texts on Kenyan arbitration and the originator of the AITAR and AISTAR dispute resolution frameworks, which establish a constitutionally-grounded alternative to Kenya's statutory succession and dispute processes.
His professional background spans construction project and financial management for major UK and Kenyan projects, PPP/PFI advisory, claims management, and investment fund management — equipping him with a uniquely multi-disciplinary perspective rarely found in dispute resolution practice.
