The event will be inaugurated by Justice B R Gavai, Chief Justice of India, who will deliver the inaugural address. The Conference will also feature a Keynote Address by Lord Briggs, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, The Right Hon Lord Briggs of Westbourne. In addition, Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Minister of Law & Justice, Government of India, will address the gathering during the inaugural session.
The Conference will feature an impressive line-up of legal luminaries, senior practitioners, academicians, policy experts, and stakeholders from both jurisdictions, offering a unique forum to discuss the intricacies and recent trends in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
