Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes arbitration preferable to litigation?

Arbitration offers confidentiality, expert decision-makers, flexibility in procedure, faster resolution, and enforceable awards across multiple countries under the New York Convention.

An effective clause specifies the dispute resolution mechanism, number of arbitrators, seat of arbitration, applicable law, language, and the institutional or ad-hoc rules governing the process.

Awards can be challenged on limited grounds including lack of jurisdiction, procedural violations, public policy concerns, or if no hearing was provided. Courts have narrow grounds for interference.

Arbitrators typically allocate costs (administrative, arbitrator fees, legal fees) based on success, contribution to the dispute, or contractual terms, often with each party bearing its own legal costs.

Awards made under international rules are enforceable in India and 173+ countries under the New York Convention, making arbitration ideal for cross-border disputes.
