Commercial Mediation Conclave 2026: A fireside chat with Justice (Retd.) AK Sikri on Med-Arb clauses and how they can help save business relations
In a fireside chat at the Commercial Mediation Conclave 2026, curated and hosted by The PACT, Justice (Retd.) Arjan Kumar Sikri discussed with Jonathan Rodrigues why med-arb clauses remain rare in commercial contracts, when a mediator can properly go on to act as arbitrator in the same dispute, and why the caucus session is the reason the two roles are usually kept apart.
