Are you interested in making a career in an area of law practice which has huge potential and high growth?
Well, then choosing arbitration as a career option could be a blessing for you.
Here are few facts about why and how arbitration represents a massive opportunity lawyers :
- It’s a field that continues to boom, because it is convenient and parties have far more control over the process. As the number of contracts go up due to massive growth in business and commerce, there are more breaches and disputes leading to growth of arbitration.
- Arbitration is also growing due to growing economic uncertainty that resulted from the pandemic. People are far more likely to do business based on contracts rather than oral understanding today and far more likely to see legal redressal of disputes. Also, post pandemic informal sectors have begun to formalize, which will lead to a surge of arbitration in the coming ten years.

- It’s a very lucrative but competitive practice area.

- New arbitral institutions are being set up in India and globally. There are many startups working hard to make dispute resolution seamless, accessible and scalable.This will lead to further growth of this field.
- Mediation has emerged as a highly preferred dispute resolution mechanism. Popularity of mediation is definitely encouraging and it is creating new career opportunities.
- Pandemic has resulted in a rise in disputes arising from contractual non-payment or non-performance globally, which will keep arbitration lawyers and arbitrators busy through the coming years.
- In-house teams of companies increasingly involve disputes lawyers hired to handle disputes, which shows how important it is for businesses. Arbitration expertise is critical for these roles.
