About the Volume

The increasing significance of commercial transactions and cross-border trade has amplified the need for efficient dispute resolution mechanisms. Arbitration and mediation have emerged as preferred methods for resolving commercial disputes due to their flexibility, confidentiality, and time-efficient nature.

With recent legislative reforms and judicial developments, India is steadily strengthening its alternative dispute resolution (ADR) framework in line with global standards.

This edited volume seeks to examine contemporary issues, emerging trends, and practical challenges in arbitration and mediation in commercial matters while fostering academic and practical discourse on the future of commercial dispute resolution in India and beyond.
