About ANIC

Established in response to the growing global need for more accessible and less cumbersome legal processes, the ANIC is at the forefront of a movement towards a more democratised form of justice. Its mission is to facilitate the resolution of disputes expeditiously, fairly and impartially. This is achieved through a blend of experienced arbitrators and mediators, state-of-the-art technology, and a set of streamlined procedures designed to cut through the red tape that often bogs down alternate dispute resolution methods.

At the heart of the Centre's approach is its emphasis on technology. Utilising the latest advancements in digital communication and information management, the Centre offers virtual ADR services permitting an end-to-end online dispute resolution. This makes the Centre a truly universal one, allowing disputes to be resolved anywhere in the world as there is no need for any physical meeting whatsoever. Parties also have the option of choosing a hybrid mode- using the technology but also resorting to physical meetings whenever necessary. This not only allows for greater flexibility and convenience but also significantly reduces the costs associated with traditional methods of dispute resolution. The use of secure digital platforms ensures that all proceedings are confidential and protected, maintaining the integrity and privacy essential in legal matters.

The professionals associated with the ANIC are a blend of seasoned legal professionals and experts in various fields. This diverse pool ensures that parties can select an arbitrator or mediator with the right expertise and experience relevant to their specific dispute. The AINC's commitment to maintaining a high standard of arbitrators and mediators is evident in its rigorous selection process, continuous training, and adherence to international best practices.

Another key feature of the AINC is our focus on efficiency. The ADR process is designed to be much faster than traditional court proceedings and other existing arbitration and mediation centres. This is achieved through strict adherence to timelines, efficient case management systems, and the use of expedited procedures where appropriate. The AINC's rules and procedures are also constantly reviewed and updated to ensure that they remain at the cutting edge of ADR practices.

In addition to providing ADR services, the AINC is also committed to the broader promotion and education of ADR methods. It conducts seminars, workshops, and training programs for legal professionals, businesses, and the general public. These initiatives are aimed at increasing awareness about the benefits of arbitration and other forms of ADR, and at fostering a culture where disputes can be resolved amicably outside of traditional courtrooms.

Our impact extends beyond the immediate resolution of disputes. By providing a more accessible and efficient avenue for dispute resolution, it contributes to the overall reduction of legal backlogs and the burden on the judicial system. This not only benefits the parties involved in disputes but also enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the legal system as a whole.

We are located in Bangalore, a city known for its technological innovation and dynamic business environment, further underscores its commitment to leveraging technology in the legal sphere. Our services are available worldwide.

Why ADR?

As an efficient, effective and convenient alternative to the court-driven dispute resolution process, Alternative Dispute Resolution methods have gained traction as the ‘go-to’ problem-solver. ADR solutions offer the comfort of accessibility and flexibility while simultaneously ensuring enforceability and finality that come with court proceedings. In simple words - it’s the best of both worlds.
