Introducing GAMC Arbitration
The Global Arbitration & Mediation Council (GAMC) offers comprehensive, binding, and enforceable arbitration services for domestic and international disputes. Our expert panels, transparent processes, and adherence to global conventions make us the trusted choice for resolving complex commercial conflicts. All proceedings are aligned with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (India), UNCITRAL Model Law, and the New York Convention (1958), ensuring awards are enforceable worldwide.
Understanding Arbitration
Arbitration is a private, binding dispute resolution process where parties agree to submit disputes to one or more neutral arbitrators instead of a court. The arbitrator's decision—known as an award—is final and enforceable, offering certainty and closure.
These attributes make arbitration ideal for commercial matters where maintaining relationships and protecting sensitive information is essential. GAMC's arbitration framework aligns with UNCITRAL Model Law and global conventions, ensuring international credibility and enforceability.
Binding & Enforceable
Arbitration awards are final and legally binding, with limited grounds for challenge. They are enforceable worldwide under the New York Convention (1958) across 160+ countries.
Types of Arbitration
Comprehensive arbitration services tailored to different dispute categories

Typical Cases:
- •Multi-jurisdictional contracts involving parties from multiple countries
- •International trade and sale of goods under conventions such as the CISG

Designed for disputes arising within India, GAMC's domestic arbitration offers a streamlined, cost-effective, and fair resolution process aligned with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. It is ideal for expediting resolutions while respecting natural justice principles.

Typical Cases:
- •Expropriation, nationalization, or confiscation of investments
