The National Law School of India Review (NLSIR) - the flagship journal of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is organizing the VIth NLSIR Symposium on “Mapping the Future of Commercial Arbitration in India” on May 18 and 19, 2013 at the NLSIU campus.
Recent years have witnessed dynamic shifts in the law and practice of Arbitration in India. While there have been steps in the right direction, an unwieldy system continues to weigh down practitioners. Four years after first delving into the nuances of commercial arbitration in India, the present edition of the Symposium hopes to assess the development of Arbitration law over the last few years.
Confirmed speakers for the symposium include renowned legal luminaries such as Hon’ble Mr. Justice (Retd.) S U Kamdar (Former Justice, Bombay High Court), Mr. Ashwin Shanker (Advocate, Bombay High Court), Mr. Ajay Thomas (Registrar, London Court of International Arbitration, India), Mr. Nangavaram Rajah (Nani Palkhivala Arbitration Centre), Mr. Promod Nair (Partner, J Sagar Associates), Mr. Shreyas Jayasimha (Partner, AZB & Partners), amongst others.
This year, the discussions will be divided into four panels:
Session I: The Implications of BALCO on Arbitration Practice
Session II: Revisiting the Expansive Role of the Indian Judiciary and its Implications
Session III: Determining the Governing Law of the Arbitration Agreement – Arsanovia and Beyond
Session IV: The Way Forward: A Call for Institutional Arbitration?
