Arbitration & Commercial Disputes

What we do

Arbitration is a formal dispute resolution mechanism in which parties submit their dispute to one or more arbitrators for a binding decision. It is often faster and more confidential than court proceedings, but requires careful handling — especially in the early stages when procedural choices shape the outcome.

At Midas Legal, we handle both domestic and international arbitration matters. On the domestic side, we advise on agreements, appear in proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and handle challenges to and enforcement of awards before the courts. On the international side, we assist clients with proceedings under ICC, LCIA, SIAC and DIAC rules.

We also handle commercial suits and interim relief applications where arbitration is not available — injunctions, attachment before judgment, and summary suits under Order XXXVII.

Specific matters we handle

• Drafting and review of arbitration clauses and arbitration agreements.
• Appointment of arbitrators under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
• Interim measures under Section 9 before or during arbitration proceedings.
• Conduct of the full arbitration reference — pleadings, evidence and final argument.
• Challenges to awards under Section 34 and enforcement under Section 36.
• International arbitration — ICC, LCIA, SIAC and DIAC proceedings.
• Commercial suits, injunctions and summary recovery in the Delhi High Court.
