- Appointment of arbitrators (Section 11) and interim relief (Section 9)
- Challenging or enforcing arbitral awards (Sections 34 and 36) and appeals under Section 37
- Conciliation and mediation as an alternative to a full arbitration
- Construction, EPC, infrastructure, and power supply agreement disputes

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
Usually, yes. The Arbitration Act sets a 12-month timeline for the award (extendable by 6 months). Court litigation can take much longer.
Yes. Section 9 of the Arbitration Act lets you ask a court for interim protection, such as stopping a bank guarantee encashment or preserving assets.
Only on limited grounds under Section 34, and within a strict time limit. We advise on whether a challenge is realistic before you spend money on it.
