About this Training

This two-day Arbitration Training was organized in Quetta under the auspices of the International Mediation and Arbitration Centre (IMAC). The program aimed to provide participants with a structured understanding of arbitration as a binding dispute resolution mechanism and its growing role in commercial and civil matters in Pakistan.

Participants were introduced to the statutory framework governing arbitration, including international best practices and Pakistan’s Arbitration Act. The training blended theory with practical case-based learning to ensure a balanced approach to knowledge and application.

Day 1 of the training explored the concept of arbitration, its history, enforceability of arbitral awards, and the procedural stages of arbitration. Day 2 focused on drafting arbitration agreements, conduct of proceedings, and simulations of arbitral hearings.
