Commercial arbitration in Chennai.

A faster, private route to resolution

Arbitration lets commercial parties resolve a dispute before a neutral tribunal instead of the ordinary courts — usually faster, in private, and with an award that is binding and enforceable. As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb, UK), R. Venkatesan acts both as counsel for a party and as an independent sole arbitrator.

Whether your dispute arises from a supply contract, a shareholders’ agreement, a construction claim or a services engagement, the aim is a clean, well-reasoned outcome that holds up to scrutiny — reached with the least possible cost and delay.

What this covers

• Drafting and reviewing arbitration agreements and clauses
• Appointment as sole arbitrator in domestic commercial disputes
• Representation as counsel before arbitral tribunals
• Online dispute resolution (ODR) hearings
• Interim measures and procedural applications
• Enforcement and challenge of arbitral awards

How proceedings run

After the first consultation the scope, timeline and fee are agreed in writing. Pleadings and evidence are marshalled, hearings are conducted in person or online, and a reasoned award follows. At every stage the process is kept proportionate to what is genuinely in dispute.
