Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

We advise on the legal and commercial aspects of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, representing clients in domestic proceedings and matters involving cross-border elements within the Indian legal framework.

Our practice covers the full lifecycle of arbitration, including the drafting and review of arbitration clauses, pre-arbitration strategy, initiation of proceedings, constitution of arbitral tribunals, and conduct of arbitration under institutional and ad hoc frameworks, with a focus on alignment with applicable legal regimes and procedural rules.

We assist clients in commercial disputes arising from contractual arrangements, business relationships, and corporate transactions, particularly in scenarios where confidentiality, procedural flexibility, and enforceability are key considerations.

We regularly advise on arbitration strategy, including seat and venue considerations within India, governing law analysis, and jurisdictional issues, ensuring that dispute resolution mechanisms are structured to support efficiency and procedural clarity.

Our advisory extends to the enforcement and challenge of arbitral awards, including recognition and enforcement proceedings before competent courts, with a focus on safeguarding client interests and ensuring practical realisation of outcomes.

We also assist in mediation, conciliation, and structured negotiation processes, supporting clients in achieving commercially viable settlements while minimising time, cost, and disruption associated with formal proceedings.

We work closely with businesses, founders, and in-house teams in structuring dispute resolution mechanisms and managing proceedings in a manner that integrates legal strategy with broader commercial considerations.
