NLU Delhi, Mentblue launch Certificate Course on Arbitration Law & Practice: Proceedings, Procedure & Related Litigation - Register Now!

India's arbitration landscape has expanded rapidly, with institutional caseloads rising, cross-border enforcement becoming routine, and courts sharpening the boundaries of judicial intervention. Clients expect their counsel to conduct arbitrations independently, from drafting the arbitration clause and framing pleadings to examining witnesses and enforcing awards across jurisdictions. Day-one readiness in arbitration practice is no longer aspirational; it is expected.

To address this, National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi), through its Centre for Regulatory Studies (CRS), has partnered with Mentblue to launch a Certificate Course on Arbitration Law & Practice: Proceedings, Procedure and Related Litigation, part of The Practice Series, a joint initiative designed to take participants through arbitration law the way it is actually practised inside Tier 1 dispute resolution teams.

Why This Course?

• Practitioner-led faculty. Partners and senior practitioners from Trilegal, CMS IndusLaw, Saraf & Partners, S&R Associates, and Luthra & Luthra Law Offices. The lawyers who draft arbitration agreements, argue interim applications, examine witnesses, and enforce awards for a living, not just teach about them.

• End-to-end arbitration lifecycle. From the arbitration agreement to award enforcement, taught in the sequence a real dispute actually unfolds.

• Applied drafting assignments. Two comprehensive assignments built around real Indian arbitration disputes, spanning the full arbitration lifecycle, not sanitised hypotheticals.

• Document library. Curated precedents, arbitration notices, pleadings, interim applications, and award drafts.

• NLU Delhi certification. The course is supervised by the Centre for Regulatory Studies, NLU Delhi, and the certificate is issued by the University.

• Flexible format. Weekend-only live sessions with six-month recording access, built for law students and working professionals alike.
