Arbitration

Coupled with significant amendments that have been made to the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, arbitration has received significant lift. In the context of cross-border trade and transactions, arbitration remains the primary dispute resolution mechanism with foreign seat under institutional rules.

It necessitates arbitrations seated in India to be conducted in a timely manner with hearings to be conducted on a day-to-day basis.

For the effective implementation of this strict timeline, parties require the support of dedicated full-time arbitration teams. Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan (LKS) understands the requirement and has created a team that focuses on this practice.
