Are you facing a legal dispute and looking for alternative ways to resolve it?

Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing comprehensive legal services to NRIs, including arbitration and mediation services.
What is arbitration?
Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method that offers parties the opportunity to resolve their conflicts outside of the traditional court system. It involves the appointment of a neutral third party, the arbitrator, who listens to both sides of the dispute and makes a binding decision.
Arbitration is often chosen by parties who wish to avoid the lengthy and expensive process of litigation. It provides a confidential and flexible setting, where the parties have more control over the proceedings and can select an arbitrator with expertise in the specific area of law.
How does arbitration work?
In arbitration, both parties present their case and provide evidence to support their arguments. The arbitrator then reviews the evidence and makes a decision, known as an award. This award is binding and enforceable, similar to a court judgment.
The arbitration process can be conducted in person or remotely, depending on the preferences of the parties involved. It typically involves less formalities than a court trial, making it a quicker and more cost-effective option.
What is mediation?
Mediation is another form of alternative dispute resolution that aims to facilitate communication and negotiation between parties. It involves the appointment of a neutral third party, the mediator, who helps the parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
Unlike arbitration, mediation is non-binding, meaning that the mediator does not make a decision for the parties. Instead, they assist in facilitating productive discussions and finding common ground. Mediation is often preferred when parties are looking to preserve relationships or find creative solutions that may not be available in a court setting.
Why choose arbitration or mediation services?
The choice between arbitration and mediation depends on the specific circumstances of the dispute. However, both options offer significant advantages over traditional litigation:
- Cost-effective: Arbitration and mediation services can save you money compared to lengthy court proceedings. They usually involve lower legal fees, fewer procedural requirements, and shorter timeframes.
- Time-efficient: Resolving a dispute through arbitration or mediation is generally faster than going to court. Parties have more control over the schedule and can avoid the backlog often experienced in the judicial system.
- Confidentiality: Arbitration and mediation proceedings are confidential, allowing parties to keep sensitive information private. This can be particularly important for NRIs who wish to maintain their privacy.
- Flexibility: Alternative dispute resolution methods offer more flexibility than traditional litigation. Parties can choose the location, language, and rules that best suit their needs.
- Preserving relationships: Mediation, in particular, focuses on maintaining or improving relationships between parties. It provides a safe space for open dialogue and can help prevent further disputes in the future.
