Arbitration & ADR
Resolving commercial disputes efficiently through arbitration and mediation.
Arbitration and mediation offer a faster, more confidential alternative to prolonged litigation, particularly for commercial and contractual disputes. Our practice represents clients in domestic and institutional arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, from drafting arbitration clauses through to enforcement of the final award.
We appear before arbitral tribunals, assist in appointment of arbitrators, and represent clients in related proceedings before the Delhi High Court, including interim relief applications and challenges to arbitral awards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start an arbitration if the other party refuses to cooperate?
If the arbitration agreement's appointment procedure fails or the other side does not respond, an application under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act can be filed before the Delhi High Court to have an arbitrator appointed, ensuring the process is not stalled.
Can I get urgent interim relief before an arbitral tribunal is constituted?
Yes. Section 9 allows a party to approach the court for interim measures — such as securing the amount in dispute or preserving property — even before the arbitral tribunal is formed, and Section 17 allows similar relief from the tribunal once constituted.
On what grounds can an arbitral award be challenged?
An award can be challenged under Section 34 on limited grounds such as incapacity of a party, invalid arbitration agreement, violation of natural justice, the award dealing with matters beyond the scope of arbitration, or conflict with the public policy of India — courts do not reassess the merits of the dispute.
How is an arbitral award enforced?
A domestic award that has not been successfully challenged, or where the challenge period has lapsed, is enforceable as a decree of the court under Section 36, allowing the successful party to proceed directly to execution against the other side's assets.
