Arbitration in India

Arbitration has become the most viable alternate dispute resolution mechanism in all commercial ventures worldwide. In India, the ambiguous nature of commercial litigation proceedings has resulted in selection of arbitration as the primary means of alternate dispute resolution. The arbitration law and procedures in India are evolving steadily and application of this law in practice in Indian business context is gaining momentum at a rapid pace.

Drafting of Agreements

Drafting of a proper and suitable arbitration and mediation clause is the basis for a successful arbitration challenge and defense. Business entities like private limited companies are continuously trying to reduce the litigation risks by planning for arbitration and mediation in case of any business disputes.

Arbitration lawyers in India specialize in this area for various years and handle complex local and cross-border arbitrations. The role of arbitration lawyers includes representing clients in several arbitration proceedings and obtaining interim measures from various Courts, preparing Section 11 Applications before the High Courts or the Supreme Court and defending actions at all levels.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Merger and acquisition (M&A) forms part of routine business transactions in India and across various other jurisdictions. Companies opt for this route to multiply business growth, and this comes with its own set of litigation risks.
