Arbitration in India is governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Our arbitration lawyer in Kolkata has expertise in both domestic and international arbitration. The Act is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law. Key features: party autonomy (parties can choose the procedure), minimal court intervention, finality of awards (limited grounds for challenge), expeditious process (12 months for domestic arbitration), and international recognition (New York Convention awards). Arbitration can be institutional (administered by an arbitration institution like ICA, MCIA, SIAC, LCIA) or ad-hoc (parties decide the procedure).

The foundation of arbitration is the arbitration agreement. Our arbitration lawyer in Kolkata drafts arbitration clauses and standalone agreements covering the scope of disputes to be arbitrated, seat and venue of arbitration, number of arbitrators (1 or 3), method of appointment, language of arbitration, governing law, and institutional/ad-hoc rules. A well-drafted clause prevents jurisdictional disputes. We also review existing agreements to assess the validity and scope of arbitration clauses.
Arbitration proceedings are more flexible than court proceedings. Our arbitration lawyer in Kolkata handles the complete process including filing of notice of arbitration and response, appointment of arbitrators (with support for challenging unfit arbitrators), preliminary meetings (procedural timetable), exchange of pleadings (statement of claim, defense, counterclaim), document production and discovery, evidence (witness statements, expert reports), hearings (oral arguments and witness examination), and final submission and award. We ensure the proceedings are conducted efficiently and fairly.
Parties can seek interim measures from courts or the arbitral tribunal. Our arbitration lawyer in Kolkata handles applications under Section 9 of the Act (court-ordered interim measures — injunction, appointment of receiver, asset freezing), Section 17 (tribunal-ordered interim measures), and Section 27 (court assistance in taking evidence). We also handle challenges to the arbitrator under Section 13 and applications for termination of mandate under Section 14.
Arbitral awards can be challenged only on limited grounds. Our arbitration lawyer in Kolkata handles challenge petitions under Section 34 (setting aside awards on grounds of incapacity, invalid agreement, lack of proper notice, award beyond scope, composition/appointment irregularity, or conflict with public policy). We also handle enforcement of domestic awards under Section 36 and enforcement of foreign awards under Section 44 (New York Convention) and Part II of the Act.
