GAMC Conciliation & Negotiation
Collaborative Settlement Solutions
Resolve disputes through structured, assisted dialogue designed to preserve relationships and promote mutually acceptable outcomes. GAMC ensures processes that are efficient, confidential, and rooted in internationally recognized best practices.
Introducing GAMC Conciliation & Negotiation
The Global Arbitration & Mediation Council (GAMC) provides a structured and professionally governed framework for Conciliation and Negotiation, enabling parties to settle disputes through guided, interest-based communication. These processes emphasize cooperation over confrontation, allowing parties to reach voluntary and sustainable agreements without adjudication.
All proceedings follow the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (India), UNCITRAL Conciliation Rules, and widely accepted international principles of consensual dispute resolution. Outcomes may be formalized as settlement agreements enforceable under applicable laws.
Understanding Conciliation
Conciliation is a voluntary, non-binding settlement process in which an impartial conciliator assists parties in identifying issues, clarifying misunderstandings, and exploring options for amicable resolution.
Although conciliators do not impose decisions, they may make proposals or recommendations to guide parties toward agreement.
Conciliation offers:
- ✓Assisted communication for clarity
- ✓Flexible, interest-driven procedures
- ✓Private and cooperative settlement pathways
This process is ideal when parties seek to preserve commercial or personal relationships and require expert facilitation to overcome deadlocks. GAMC's conciliation framework aligns with UNCITRAL standards, ensuring consistency, neutrality, and fairness across domestic and international matters.
Understanding Negotiation
Negotiation is a direct, structured interaction between parties—assisted by a neutral facilitator—aimed at reaching a mutually beneficial settlement without any formal adjudicatory elements. The facilitator helps balance expectations, reduce friction, and guide discussions toward productive outcomes.
Negotiation offers:
- ✓Maximum party control
- ✓Flexible communication formats (in-person/virtual/ODR)
- ✓Rapid, low-cost resolution
- ✓High confidentiality
It is best suited for commercial, operational, financial, and interpersonal matters where parties prefer early settlement.
