Arbitration Training at CORD
Building the next generation of dispute resolution professionals.
At CORD, training is not a one-time certification. It is a continuous professional journey. Our arbitration training programmes equip legal professionals with doctrinal clarity, procedural rigour, and real-world readiness, while staying attuned to the evolving landscape of law, policy, and technology.
A Legacy of Early Leadership in Arbitration Training
CORD has been at the forefront of structured arbitration education in India. In 2019, we were among the first institutions to offer formal arbitration training programmes in collaboration with the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), well before online and institutional arbitration became mainstream.
This early commitment reflects CORD's long-standing belief that strong dispute resolution systems are built on well-trained neutrals.
What Our Arbitration Training Covers
- Arbitration law and procedure with Indian and international perspectives
- Drafting and interpreting arbitration clauses
- Case management and procedural orders
- Conduct of hearings in physical, hybrid, and online formats
- Writing enforceable, well-reasoned arbitral awards
- Ethics, neutrality, and institutional best practices
- Technology in arbitration and online dispute resolution (ODR)
Continuous Learning for Empanelled Arbitrators
Arbitrator training at CORD does not end with empanelment. Once enrolled as a CORD-trained arbitrator, you gain access to a continuous learning ecosystem curated to support long-term professional growth.
- Regular legal updates on statutory amendments and landmark judgments
- Policy and regulatory updates impacting arbitration and mediation
- Technology updates on tools, platforms, and digital workflows used by CORD
- Practice notes and guidance on emerging procedural and ethical issues
- Invitations to curated lectures and masterclasses by global experts
Our aim is simple: to ensure that CORD neutrals are current, confident, and future-ready.
Global Perspectives, Curated Expertise
CORD regularly brings in leading practitioners, academics, and domain experts from across jurisdictions to deliver focused sessions covering comparative practices, sector-specific disputes, and global trends in dispute resolution.
This exposure ensures that our neutrals benefit from doctrinal learning and cross-border insights on evolving best practices.
Training Resources and Video Library
Many of our training sessions and knowledge talks are available through CORD's video library, allowing participants and empanelled arbitrators to revisit key concepts at their own pace.
