Venue: Crowne Plaza, Chennai Adyar Park, Chennai
About the Conference:
With all round development taking place in India, major projects, particularly infrastructure projects and many mega projects are being implemented in different parts of the country. In spite of one’s best efforts to avoid them, disputes cannot be avoided altogether in a contract. In order to complete projects without cost or time overrun, suitable mechanism should be in place to resolve disputes as and when they arise.
The amended Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 has raised much hope which promises to be effective tool for speedy and cost effective dispute resolution besides facilitating implementation of foreign awards. This augurs well for raising the level of ease of doing business in the country thus paving way for attracting more Foreign Direct Investments.
India, where numbers of projects by MNC’s are going on, has the potential of becoming the hub of International Arbitration. The hurdles if any in this context have to be indentified and removed. The Conference is organized to address these problems, besides updating knowledge on the subject and hone the skills of practising and aspiring Arbitrators.
