The ICC India Arbitration Conference 2026 will be held on October 31, 2026, at the Trident Hotel, Nariman Point, Mumbai, bringing together judges and arbitration practitioners to discuss emerging jurisprudence, procedural developments and India’s evolving role in the global disputes ecosystem.
Organised under the ICC India Arbitration Group, the conference will feature sessions on monetary remedies in arbitration, asset recovery in the age of digital assets and the debate over whether ethics in international arbitration should be codified.
The event will be graced by Justice Manish Pitale of the Bombay High Court.
The first session, titled “Let’s Talk About Numbers! A Fireside Chat on Monetary Remedies in Arbitration”, will examine issues surrounding monetary relief in arbitration. The discussion will feature Justice (Retd.) Ferdino Rebello, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Ishani Vora, Principal at Osborne Partners; Pratik Pawar, Partner at JSA Advocates & Solicitors; and Smitha Menon, Partner at WongPartnership.
The second session, “The Road Less Travelled: Asset Recovery in Arbitration Amid the Age of Digital Assets”, will focus on asset recovery challenges arising in arbitration involving digital assets. The speakers will include Aniz Ahmad Amirudin, Partner at Cecil Abraham & Partners; Manavendra Mishra, Partner at Khaitan & Co; Juhi Mathur, Partner at Trilegal; Vinay Garodia, Partner at EY Forensic & Integrity Services; and Karishma Vora, Barrister at 39 Essex Chambers.
The final session will take the form of an Oxford-style debate on whether ethics in international arbitration should be codified to ensure high standards of professional conduct.
The motion will consider whether codification is necessary to maintain the legitimacy and trust of international arbitration users, or whether existing domestic laws and regulations already meet the standards and expectations of those users.
The debate will feature Jacqueline Chaplin, Counsel at Linklaters; Naresh Thacker, Independent Counsel at the Chambers of Naresh Thacker; Priyanka Shetty, Partner at AZB & Partners; Devathas Satianathan, Partner at Rajah & Tann; and Zal Andhyarujina SA, Barrister at Fountain Court Chambers.
