CJI BR Gavai to inaugurate Indian Council of Arbitration's 3rd Conference in London
New Delhi, May 26 (UNI) In a significant step toward strengthening international legal cooperation, the Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) is set to host its 3rd International Legal Conference on 'Arbitrating Indo-UK Commercial Disputes: Synergising India-UK Arbitration practices' on June 5, at the historic Church House, Westminster, in London. Chief Justice of India, BR Gavai will inaugurate the event.
The event will be organised as part of the prestigious London International Disputes Week 2025 (LIDW25).
Besides inauguration by CJI BR Gavai, the Conference will feature keynote addresses by the Union Minister for Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, and Rt. Hon. Lord Briggs, Justice of the UK Supreme Court.
The high-level gathering will bring together a distinguished lineup of legal experts, senior policymakers, institutional heads, and arbitration professionals from both India and the United Kingdom.
Discussions will focus on the evolving dynamics of cross-border dispute resolution, best practices in institutional arbitration, and the prospects for deeper legal and regulatory convergence between the two jurisdictions.
The conference comes at a strategically important juncture in India-UK legal and economic relations.
It follows the recent finalisation of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the Bar Council of India's notification dated May 14, 2025, permitting foreign lawyers and law firms to practice foreign law in India on a reciprocal basis, two landmark developments that are expected to reshape the contours of transnational legal practice.
By addressing the emerging challenges and opportunities in Indo-UK arbitration, the ICA aims to foster a robust, harmonised dispute resolution ecosystem that can effectively support growing bilateral trade and investment.
The event is expected to serve as a forward-looking platform for enhancing legal certainty, institutional trust, and commercial confidence between the two countries.
