Arbitration

Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process that parties may choose as an alternative to going to court. An arbitrator performs a similar role to that of a Judge. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator delivers an award which is final and binding on the parties. It circumvents the huge pendency in Indian courts today and hence is preferred by litigants.

The Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 regulates arbitration in India. The firm handles arbitration matters and our senior member is empanelled as an Arbitrator with the Delhi International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).

Labour laws are laws that mediate the relationship between workers, employers, trade unions and the government. Labour laws were enacted primarily to prevent exploitation of workers and protect their interests. The basic feature of labour law in almost every country is that the rights and obligations of the worker and the employer are mediated through an employment contract between the two. Usually most conflict arises in misinterpretation of the provisions in the contract of employment.

Property Law

Property law is the area of law that governs the various forms of ownership in land and personal property including intellectual property. The main legal property rights are the right of possession, the right of control, the right of exclusion, the right to derive income, and the right of disposition. In most of the cases disputes arise when the aforesaid rights are compromised by any act or omission. The fundamental purpose of property rights is that they minimize disputes and eliminate destructive competition for control of economic resources.
