Arbitration & Mediation / ADR Practice

At Red Law, we believe in speedy and efficacious remedies to disputes for our clients. In certain cases, an alternative dispute redressal (ADR) mechanism is best suited given the nature of the relation between the parties and the business between them.

Arbitration and mediation are the two preferred modes of dispute settlement among parties who do not wish to follow the conventional method of court litigation. These two methods can either be voluntarily between parties or statutory. Depending on the nature of the arbitration agreement, statutory provisions and circumstances we advise our clients as to what would be the best route to a speedy and efficacious dispute resolution.
