This resource book, in its final form, attempts to draw upon the experiences and expertise of the luminaries in the field of arbitration. We have tried to ensure a rich blend of views through contributions from litigators, law firms, judiciary and government, covering views and opinions from experts in international jurisdictions, particularly Singapore and the UK”.

I hope that readers will find this interesting.”

    “We at LexisNexis feel honoured and delighted to be a part of this major conference on arbitration and are thankful to the organising committee for giving us an opportunity to publish this Arbitration Resource Book under our Advancing the Rule of Law initiative, which is the broader purpose of our existence,” said Mr. Mohan Ramaswamy, Managing Director, LexisNexis India-South Asia.
