About the Conference
Arbitration as a means to resolve disputes among parties is one of the most effective dispute resolution mechanisms if adequately applied and effectively regulated. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 was introduced with the intent to regulate International and Domestic Commercial Arbitration and Conciliation comprehensively. There has been two significant Amendments made in The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, first in 2015 and recently in 2019. Arbitration in India has seen enormous growth over the last decade. The improvements made in the Arbitration Dispute Resolution Laws will go a long way, not only to improve the climate for Domestic Arbitration but will also contribute to promote India as a preferred seat for International Arbitration. The Conference will seek to highlight the increasing relevance and importance of Arbitration post – 2020.
