Sounds familiar?

“I quietly hope it settles.”

A client mentions arbitration and your first instinct is to steer it anywhere else — because you've never run one.

“Seniors won't teach me.”

Arbitration briefs stay with the same two juniors. Nobody hands you the drafting work that teaches the craft.

“I know the Act, not the work.”

You studied Sections 7, 11, 34. Nobody showed you what to actually file, draft, or say on Day 1 of a real arbitration.

“The work is going to someone else.”

Every commercial contract now carries an arbitration clause. That work exists — it's just not coming to you yet.

What arbitration counsel get paid for, in numbers

+48%growth in MCIA caseload last year, average dispute $11.4M — every matter needs trained counsel on both sides²
Premium nichedisputes leads law-firm hiring, and niche arbitration teams pay above the standard ₹9.5–32.5L associate band³

“The Chapter on Notice of Arbitration in the course was in perfect time since at my workplace contemplating to send the notice for commencement of Arbitration… I could use all the knowledge imparted in the relevant lecture and the course material, to prepare appropriate correspondences. Presently, I also use many of the learnings from the course to advise my management on other arbitration matters.”

“This course has taught me the importance of drafting a comprehensive and clear arbitration clause… I have used these principles in a couple of franchise agreements I drafted since taking this course.”

Why is this only ₹200?

Fair question. A program like this is normally priced at ₹999 or more, and it costs us more than ₹200 per participant to run. We keep the entry price below a court filing fee so that cost is never the reason a lawyer stays out of arbitration. Some participants later join our advanced diplomas — that's our business model, openly stated. There is no hidden charge inside the program and no obligation to buy anything after it.

Is this for you?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You're a lawyer or litigator who has never (or barely) done arbitration
  • You want drafting-level skill, not another certificate course in theory
  • You can give 60–90 minutes a day for 21 days
  • You want the institutional routes — empanelment, freelancing, networking

NOT FOR YOU IF

  • You already run arbitrations end-to-end
  • You want academic coverage of arbitration jurisprudence
  • You won't do the daily exercises — watching alone won't build skill

Questions, answered

When do the live classes happen?

Live sessions run in the evening (IST) so practising lawyers can attend. You get your batch schedule as soon as you join.

What if I miss a day?

Templates and exercises stay available — catch up the same week and you stay on track.

I've literally never touched an arbitration. Will I cope?

Yes — that's who this is built for. Day 1 starts at the clause itself, and every skill comes with a template and a worked example.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes — complete the program (attend/watch the sessions and submit the exercises) and you receive a LawSikho certificate.

I'm a law student. Can I join?

The program assumes no practice experience, so final-year students and fresh graduates can absolutely keep up — drafting skills transfer directly to internships and first briefs.

What happens after the 21 days?

You keep the templates, stay in the community, and if you want to go deeper we'll show you the advanced paths — entirely optional.

In 21 days, “I don't do arbitration” can stop being your line.
