Arbitration and mediation in Bengaluru
Resolving disputes faster, privately and at lower cost, through arbitration, mediation, conciliation and negotiated settlement.
Overview
Faster, private ways to resolve disputes
Not every dispute needs a long court case. Arbitration, mediation and conciliation are often faster, more private and less expensive, and the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 gives them a strong legal framework.
We advise clients on whether these methods suit their dispute, represent them in arbitration and mediation proceedings, and draft arbitration and mediation clauses in contracts. We have resolved many disputes at the pre-litigation stage through facilitated negotiation and settlement.

Questions
Common questions
General information only. For advice on your situation, please speak to us.
What is the difference between arbitration and mediation?
In arbitration, an arbitrator hears both sides and gives a binding award. In mediation, a neutral mediator helps the parties reach their own settlement; nothing is imposed on them.
Is arbitration faster than going to court?
Usually, yes. Arbitration is private and more flexible on scheduling, and the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 sets time limits for completing many proceedings.
Can an arbitral award be enforced?
Yes. Once the time to challenge it has passed, or a challenge has been rejected, an award can be enforced in the same way as a decree of a civil court.
