The secret to  success is focusing your energy, not in fighting the old, but building the new! 

Today, we are in the era of transitional change and  revolution in the legal field.

Chief Justice Bhosale of Telangana & AP High Court in a recent dialogue quoted that the "Indian judiciary is going to crumble under its own weight".

This is owed to the inefficiency of the process and the large population, which makes the  future of judicial dispute resolution hazy!

A survey of 1000 largest corporates of the US showed that 79% of them used  ADR for dispute resolution which shows the new global shift in the legal arena. 

Now, being a new field, it is loaded with question marks at every step. For efficiently building and growing with the 'new' what we need as young lawyers is  guidance. 

And so, LAWyersClubIndia in collaboration with Gaurav Goyal, MCIArb has requested Mr. RATAN K SINGH FCIArb for a webinar on  Career in  Arbitration'. 

Mr. Singh is a pioneer in the field of arbitration practice and has decades of experience, having argued many cases, chaired numerous matters as an  arbitrator and lectured students and  lawyers all over the world. 

Excited?
Join us for this magnificent hour at 4 on the 22nd.

The growing importance of arbitration as a means for international commercial dispute resolution necessitates independent platforms for ideas on the development and application of international arbitration.

Since its 1984 launch, the Journal of International Arbitration has established itself as a thought-provoking, ground-breaking journal aimed at the specific requirements of those involved in international arbitration. The journal now appears bimonthly (six times a year) rather than quarterly, giving it even more immediacy as a forum for original thinking, penetrating analysis, and lively discussion of international arbitration issues.

As always each issue contains in-depth investigations of the most important current issues in international arbitration, focusing on business, investment, and economic disputes between private corporations, state-controlled entities, and states. The journal's worldwide coverage ensures regular reporting on regional trends which can serve as an example for other regions and countries.

Optimising the outcome of disputes connected with international business forms the subject matter of International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide.

Rather than adopt an idealised approach of pursuing victories at any cost, the authors help parties predict the realistic consequences (and costs) of their decisions and provide a step-by-step guide to opportunities to influence the course of a dispute as it unfolds in its various stages. They discuss techniques for productively resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, frequently illustrating critical steps through real-world examples drawn from past experiences.

The book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.

The practical guidance includes:

• How to determine which dispute resolution clauses work best for different international contracts, and how to negotiate those clauses
• What preliminary steps parties should consider to preserve their rights when a dispute arises
• Whether and how to appoint counsel
• When and how to perform an early case assessment (ECA)
• How to organise and conduct international mediations and arbitration proceedings
• How to enforce (or set aside) arbitral awards
• Securing the benefit of additional protections available through investment treaties

The text is divided into chapters that follow the life cycle of an international commercial dispute as seen through the eyes of the parties, from when they agree how to resolve disputes in their contracts to the endgame of enforcement. Additionally, the appendices include a number of model submissions for further reference.

Confidentiality in International Commercial Arbitration deciphers the current degree of confidentiality in international commercial arbitration as reflected by the most important arbitration rules, national laws, other arbitration-related enactments, and practices of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts globally. Drawing on this data and analysis, the author then sets forth criteria to assess the breach of confidentiality in international arbitration and the proper rules for protecting or sanctioning such breaches.

What do we understand by confidentiality in arbitration? What are its limitations? Who is bound to observe it? How can we quantify its breach? In addressing these questions, the book engages such issues as the following:

• Reasons for disclosure – e.g., for the establishment of a defence, for the enforcement of rights, in the public interest or in the interests of justice
• Disclosure by consent, express or implied
• Circumstances triggering statutory obligation of disclosure
• Recent trends towards greater transparency in investor-State arbitration
• Court measures in support of arbitral confidentiality such as award of damages for breach of confidentiality
• Categories of persons bound by confidentiality, including third parties such as witnesses and experts

Structured along the main stages of the arbitral process, the analysis covers the duty of confidentiality from the initiation of arbitral proceedings through their unfolding to the issuance of the award and after. The scope of confidentiality is reviewed in the practice of arbitral tribunals and domestic courts, and from the perspective of international arbitration institutions, with detailed attention to various arbitration rules and numerous significant cases.

In its elucidation of the amount of confidentiality that ‘veils’ each phase of the arbitral process, and its ground-breaking identification of ‘patterns of disclosure’, this book is sure to raise awareness about the various facets and problems posed by confidentiality in arbitration. Although its scholarly contribution to the law of international commercial arbitration cannot be gainsaid, corporate counsel worldwide will quickly prize its more practical value.
