Young BIAC

Young BIAC is a vibrant initiative by the Bangalore International Arbitration Centre (BIAC), designed to cultivate the next generation of arbitration professionals in India and around the world. Based in the innovation hub of Bangalore, Young BIAC aims to connect emerging legal minds and provide them with the resources, opportunities, and community to grow in the field of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Mission Statement

To create a dynamic and inclusive platform for aspiring arbitration professionals by fostering education, global networking, and leadership opportunities, while promoting innovation and excellence in dispute resolution in India and beyond.

Objectives

Young BIAC seeks to Engage emerging professionals and students through initiatives that support learning, collaboration, and career advancement in the field of arbitration. Also we wish to:

  • Create a global network of young practitioners and academics interested in arbitration and ADR, enabling cross-border collaboration and cultural exchange;
  • Organize events and programs including training workshops, panel discussions, seminars, social events, and competitions (e.g., mock arbitrations and essay contests);
  • Encourage participation in all roles within arbitration — as counsel, tribunal secretaries, arbitrators, or ADR advocates;
  • Collaborate with BIAC and other international institutions to promote institutional arbitration and deepen understanding of BIAC’s rules and procedures;
  • Establish regional chapters or committees to drive local engagement and develop context-specific content for diverse jurisdictions;
  • Develop thought leadership by supporting the publication of articles, blogs, and white papers by members;
  • Keep the community updated with developments in arbitration law, practice, and policy through newsletters, webinars, and resource sharing;
  • Incorporate technology and innovation into the arbitration discourse, reflecting Bangalore’s position as a global tech hub.
