Law Of Arbitration And Conciliation

This concise yet comprehensive guide unpacks arbitration and conciliation law for practitioners, in-house counsel, arbitrators and students. Beginning with the anatomy of arbitration agreements, the book explains clause-drafting techniques that avoid later jurisdictional challenges and ensure enforceability. It provides practical guidance on appointing arbitrators, managing pre-hearing discovery (where applicable), conducting hearings, evidence presentation, and oral advocacy before tribunals. Essential chapters cover the enforcement of arbitral awards, grounds and procedures to set aside or resist enforcement, and interaction with domestic courts. The conciliation sections focus on designing successful settlement processes, preserving confidentiality, and transitioning from conciliation to arbitration when settlements fail. Comparative appendices examine major institutional rules (ICC, LCIA, SIAC, ICSID) and the UNCITRAL Model Law, with checklists, sample forms and procedural timelines to streamline case management. Practical tips on cost management, interim measures, emergency arbitration and third-party funding prepare readers for real-world disputes. This book’s blend of doctrinal clarity and immediately usable templates empowers readers to draft stronger agreements, manage arbitration proactively and secure enforceable outcomes across jurisdictions.
