Arbitration and Conciliation Services page, where we provide comprehensive information about alternative dispute resolution methods that can help businesses and individuals resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively.
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which parties to a dispute agree to submit their case to a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator or arbitration panel. Unlike litigation, arbitration offers a more flexible and confidential process for resolving disputes outside of the courtroom. The arbitrator’s decision, known as an arbitral award, is binding on the parties and can be enforced in court.
Neutral Decision Maker: An arbitrator, selected by the parties or appointed by an arbitration institution, hears the evidence and arguments presented by both sides and renders a decision.
Flexibility: Parties have more control over the arbitration process, including selecting the arbitrator, setting the procedural rules, and scheduling hearings.
Confidentiality: Arbitration proceedings are usually confidential, providing parties with privacy and discretion in resolving their disputes.
Enforceability: Arbitral awards are generally enforceable in court, both domestically and internationally, under the provisions of the New York Convention and other applicable laws.
Conciliation is another form of ADR that involves the assistance of a neutral third party, known as a conciliator, who helps parties identify issues, explore options, and reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Unlike arbitration, the conciliator does not impose a decision but facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties.
Facilitated Negotiation: The conciliator acts as a facilitator, helping parties communicate effectively, understand each other’s perspectives, and explore potential solutions to their dispute.
Informal Process: Conciliation is less formal than arbitration or litigation, allowing parties to engage in open dialogue and creative problem-solving.
Voluntary Participation: Participation in conciliation is voluntary, and parties retain the right to withdraw from the process at any time if they are not satisfied with the progress or outcome.
Confidentiality: Similar to arbitration, conciliation proceedings are usually confidential to encourage candid discussions and maintain privacy.
