Alternative dispute resolution has become a central part of the legal landscape for commercial parties in India, offering the prospect of faster, confidential, and more commercially sensitive resolution of disputes outside the court system. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, as amended, provides a robust framework for domestic and international arbitration, and Indian courts have increasingly taken a supportive approach to the arbitral process. 

At DNP Advocates and Solicitors, we represent clients in arbitration and mediation proceedings and advise on dispute resolution clauses and ADR strategy.

Our Arbitration, Mediation & ADR practice covers the full arbitration lifecycle, from drafting of dispute resolution clauses and pre-arbitration advisory to representation in arbitral proceedings and enforcement or challenge of awards before courts. We also assist clients in mediation and other structured settlement processes where a negotiated resolution is possible. DNP’s approach combines procedural knowledge of the arbitral process with the commercial awareness needed to represent clients effectively in high-stakes proceedings.
