How It Works
Dispute Assessment & Strategy
We analyse the arbitration clause, governing law, jurisdiction and merits of the claim to recommend the optimal strategy — arbitration, mediation or court proceedings.
Notice & Commencement
We issue the arbitration notice, assist in the appointment of arbitrators and file the Statement of Claim or Defence with supporting documents and evidence.
Hearings & Submissions
We conduct hearings, present oral and written submissions, cross-examine witnesses and make closing arguments before the arbitral tribunal.
Award & Enforcement
We obtain the arbitral award and, if necessary, apply to the court for enforcement — or challenge a hostile award under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, a domestic arbitral award is enforceable as a decree of the court. International awards from New York Convention countries are also enforceable in India.
Is an arbitration award enforceable like a court judgment?
Can I go to arbitration without a pre-existing arbitration clause?
Yes. Parties can agree to refer an existing dispute to arbitration even if their contract does not contain an arbitration clause, by entering into a separate submission agreement.
How long does arbitration take?
Simple domestic arbitrations can conclude in 6–12 months. Complex multi-party or international arbitrations may take 1–3 years. This is still significantly faster than court litigation for commercial disputes.
What is mediation and how is it different from arbitration?
Mediation is a voluntary, non-binding process where a neutral mediator assists parties in reaching a settlement. Arbitration results in a binding award. Mediation is ideal for preserving commercial relationships.
