Advanced Alternative Dispute

Alternative Dispute Resolution: Drafting Arbitration Clauses, Statements of Claim & Mediation Briefs

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has transformed commercial litigation and dispute management in India and worldwide. With the enactment of the Mediation Act 2023, the extensive modernization of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 (amended 2015, 2019, 2021), and the emergence of institutional arbitration centers (MCIA, SIAC, LCIA, ICC), dispute resolution is now defined by private, specialized, and expeditious forums. This masterclass equips commercial litigators, transactional counsel, in-house legal departments, and dispute resolution neutrals with the strategic, tactical, and drafting competencies required to excel in modern ADR practice. Across 16 rigorously sequenced modules, practitioners examine the complete dispute resolution lifecycle: from principled negotiation and Harvard negotiation frameworks, through facilitative and statutory mediation under the Mediation Act 2023, to the procedural and substantive complexities of domestic and international commercial arbitration. Counsel learn to construct bulletproof multi-tiered dispute escalation clauses, draft persuasive statements of claim and defence, structure Section 9 petitions for urgent pre-arbitral interim relief, navigate Section 11 arbitrator appointments, enforce arbitrator neutrality under the Fifth and Seventh Schedules, manage electronic and online dispute resolution (ODR), and execute or challenge arbitral awards under Section 34 and the New York Convention.
