Arbitration
India's allure as a foreign investment destination continues to grow, with a remarkable $30 billion in FDI announcements in 2005. As international commerce flourishes, cross-border disputes inevitably rise. To address this need, Arbitration and Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) have emerged as efficient, cost-effective solutions for resolving international commercial disputes while preserving business relationships. ADR in India encompasses arbitration, mediation, and conciliation, all recognized under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The principle of party autonomy and flexibility inherent in arbitration have led to a growing trend towards this dispute resolution method.
