Internship Opportunity at Bangalore International Arbitration Centre (BIAC)

The Bangalore International Arbitration Centre (BIAC) is dedicated to promoting and fostering the growth of young legal professionals. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the legal ecosystem, BIAC is proud to offer a unique internship program through the BAC Academy. This initiative seeks to provide aspiring law students with a thorough, hands-on understanding of arbitration and mediation, fields that are essential to modern legal practice.

BIAC’s internship program is designed for law students across India, and provides an unparalleled opportunity to work closely with experienced legal practitioners, mentors, and professionals in the dynamic and evolving field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Interns will gain firsthand exposure to real-world arbitration proceedings, helping to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical legal application.

Participate in research, case preparation, and drafting work related to arbitration proceedings.
Learn from experienced arbitrators, retired judges, and legal practitioners.
Understand the procedural and practical complexities of institutional and ad hoc arbitration.
Engage in discussions regarding dispute resolution, confidentiality, neutrality, and cost-effectiveness within the context of arbitration.
Contribute to the development and enhancement of arbitration-related content, research, and legal analysis.
