Arbitration Legal Services in Delhi

Arbitration disputes often involve substantial contractual, commercial and financial interests. Careful examination of the arbitration agreement, underlying contract, correspondence, financial records and other evidence is important before determining the appropriate legal strategy.

Legal assistance is available for both claimants and respondents at different stages of arbitration proceedings.

Arbitration Matters We Handle

Commercial & Contractual Disputes

Representation in disputes involving:

• Breach of contract

• Non-performance of contractual obligations

• Payment and recovery disputes

• Service agreements

• Supply and purchase agreements

• Partnership and business disputes

• Commercial transactions

• Construction and infrastructure agreements

• Vendor and contractor disputes

• Loan and financial agreements

Invocation of Arbitration

Where a valid arbitration agreement exists and a dispute has arisen, appropriate steps may be taken for invoking the arbitration clause in accordance with the contract and applicable law.

Legal assistance includes review of the arbitration clause, preparation of the notice invoking arbitration and assessment of the appropriate procedure for commencement of proceedings.

Appointment of Arbitrator

Disagreements may arise regarding the appointment of an arbitrator or constitution of the arbitral tribunal.

Legal assistance may include proceedings relating to the appointment of an arbitrator under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, where applicable.

The arbitration agreement and contractual mechanism for appointment are carefully reviewed before proceedings are initiated.

Interim Protection – Section 9 Proceedings

In some disputes, urgent protection may be necessary before or during arbitration.

An application under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 may be considered for appropriate interim measures, depending upon the circumstances of the case.

Such relief may involve preservation of property, securing disputed amounts, protection of contractual rights or other interim measures permissible under law.

Representation Before the Arbitral Tribunal

Effective arbitration requires more than appearing at hearings. Proper preparation of pleadings, documentary evidence and legal submissions can be critical.

Legal representation may include:

Statement of Claim
Preparation and presentation of the claimant's case and relief sought.

Statement of Defence
Responding to allegations and claims raised by the opposing party.

Counterclaims
Preparing and pursuing appropriate counterclaims.

Documentary Evidence
Compilation and presentation of contracts, correspondence, invoices, financial records and other relevant evidence.

Witness Examination
Preparation for examination and cross-examination where required.

Final Arguments
Presentation of factual and legal submissions before the arbitral tribunal.

Challenging an Arbitral Award

An arbitral award does not ordinarily operate like a trial court judgment subject to a routine appeal on facts.

However, an award may be challenged on the limited statutory grounds available under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Legal assistance may be provided for examining and pursuing an appropriate challenge under Section 34, subject to the facts, applicable law and limitation period.

Because strict timelines can apply, early legal consultation after receipt of an award is advisable.

Enforcement of Arbitral Awards

Obtaining an award may not always bring the dispute to an end. Where the unsuccessful party does not comply voluntarily, appropriate enforcement proceedings may become necessary.

We assist clients in evaluating and pursuing legally available remedies for enforcement and execution of arbitral awards.

Domestic & International Commercial Arbitration

Legal assistance may be provided in matters involving:

Domestic Arbitration

Disputes between parties arising from contracts and transactions governed by Indian law.

International Commercial Arbitration

Matters involving an international commercial element may require consideration of additional jurisdictional, procedural and enforcement issues.

The appropriate strategy depends upon the arbitration agreement, seat of arbitration, governing law and nature of the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is arbitration?

Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution in which parties submit their dispute to an arbitrator or arbitral tribunal instead of having the underlying dispute decided through ordinary court litigation.

Is an arbitration clause necessary?

Arbitration generally requires a valid arbitration agreement between the parties. The exact wording and validity of the arbitration clause should therefore be examined before initiating proceedings.

Can arbitration be started if the other party refuses to cooperate?

Depending upon the arbitration agreement and circumstances, legal mechanisms may be available for constitution of the arbitral tribunal even where the parties cannot mutually agree upon an arbitrator.

Can an arbitral award be challenged?

Yes, but only on the grounds permitted under applicable arbitration law. A challenge is not equivalent to an unrestricted appeal on the merits.

How long does arbitration take?

There is no single fixed duration. The timeline depends upon the nature and complexity of the dispute, number of parties, evidence, procedural issues and applicable statutory framework.

Do I need a lawyer for arbitration?

While the precise requirement depends on the proceeding, professional legal representation can be particularly valuable in substantial contractual or commercial disputes involving pleadings, evidence, cross-examination and legal arguments.
