This post looks at the opening of the brand new Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration (MCIA). A first-of-its-kind arbitral institution in India, established in a joint initiative between the Government of Maharashtra and the domestic and international business and legal communities. The MCIA will be formally launched at a Conference at the Trident Hotel, Mumbai on Saturday, 8 October 2016.
