Overview of Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Services
Arbitration exists because courtroom litigation is often the wrong tool for a commercial dispute - too slow, too public, and too disconnected from how the parties actually do business. In India, it runs under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and it's usually the faster, more confidential route for construction, infrastructure, and cross-border commercial disputes.
We've represented parties in institutional and ad-hoc arbitrations across construction contracts, joint ventures, and international trade disputes. The forum changes; what doesn't is the discipline of building a record early, because most arbitrations are won or lost well before the hearing.
Our Arbitration Services Include:
Arbitration Representation
Representing clients in domestic and international arbitrations, from the first filing through the award.
Arbitration Agreement Drafting
A badly worded arbitration clause causes more disputes than it prevents. We draft ones that actually hold up.
International Arbitration
Cross-border disputes, including matters governed by the New York Convention.
Construction and Infrastructure Disputes
Contract disputes, infrastructure projects, joint ventures - this is where a large share of our arbitration work sits.
Arbitration Advocacy
Presenting the case and the evidence before the tribunal. Doing that well is most of what decides the outcome.
Post-Award Enforcement
Enforcing an award in India or abroad, and challenging or defending one where that's the right call.
Arbitration only delivers on its promise of speed and confidentiality if it's run well from the start - a badly drafted arbitration clause can cost you both. We help clients get that groundwork right, not just represent them once a dispute is already underway.
