FEAM Arbitration & Mediation Practitioner Programme
A 40-hour, dual-track programme in Arbitration and Mediation — built for advocates, in-house counsel, and working professionals who want to move from studying dispute resolution to practising it.
Built to Move You From Theory to Practice
Comprehensive Understanding
Build a working grasp of the arbitration and mediation process — from first principles and legal framework through to award, settlement, and enforcement.
Practical Skill & Confidence
Structured moot arbitrations, mock mediations, and drafting exercises build the confidence to run a matter, not just describe one.
Market-Ready Practice
Calibrated to the specific needs of India's current ADR market, with a clear path toward working on actual matters after the programme ends.
Two Tracks, Run in Parallel
Every weekend pairs an Arbitration session with a Mediation session, so both disciplines build together rather than one after the other.

Hands-On From Day One
Every phase includes moot arbitrations, mock mediations, or drafting exercises — the programme is built around doing, not just listening.
Grounded in Indian Law
Covers the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, the Mediation Act 2023, and sector-specific frameworks across banking, real estate, corporate and commercial disputes.
International Perspective
Cross-border enforcement, the Singapore Convention, investment arbitration, and conflict-of-laws issues are woven into both tracks.
Weekend-Only Schedule
Saturdays and Sundays over 10 weekends — designed for working professionals who cannot step away from practice during the week.
