Bisma Dhillon

Profile description

When a commercial dispute escalates and the parties reach a settlement, the next challenge is often the arbitration process that follows. Bisma Dhillon, a lawyer regularly appearing before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court of India, specialises in handling arbitration matters that arise from contracts, construction projects, and business collaborations.

Arbitration provides a private forum for resolving conflicts, but it also demands strict compliance with procedural rules and the terms of the arbitration agreement. Bisma Dhillon can help clients draft robust arbitration clauses, select appropriate arbitral institutions, and oversee the appointment of arbitrators. By ensuring that the clause is enforceable under Indian law, the lawyer reduces the risk of later challenges that could derail the dispute‑resolution timeline.

If an arbitration proceeding has already begun, the lawyer can represent clients during the preliminary stage, including the filing of statements of claim and defence, the exchange of documents, and the preparation of evidence. In instances where a party attempts to delay or obstruct the process, Bisma Dhillon can move the High Court for interim relief, such as interim injunctions or orders to compel production of documents. The lawyer’s experience includes securing interim measures that protect client interests while the arbitral tribunal deliberates.

Enforcement of arbitral awards is another core area of focus. Once an award is rendered, the lawyer can file an application before the Punjab and Haryana High Court to enforce the award against the resisting party. In cases where the award is challenged on grounds of public policy or procedural irregularities, the lawyer prepares a defence that demonstrates compliance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, often resulting in the Supreme Court upholding the award’s validity.

The lawyer holds an LL.B. from Panjab University and a Master’s in International Commercial Arbitration from the International Chamber of Commerce Academy. Over fifteen years of practice have seen the lawyer handle arbitration matters across sectors such as infrastructure, technology, and joint ventures. Recognised by a leading arbitration council for expertise in cross‑border disputes, the lawyer has successfully enforced awards totaling several hundred crores and has been praised for turning complex arbitration challenges into clear, enforceable outcomes.

If you are entering into a contract that may require arbitration, or if you are already engaged in an arbitral proceeding, seeking a lawyer who blends substantive commercial knowledge with procedural mastery can protect your interests. Bisma Dhillon can guide you through drafting, conducting, and enforcing arbitration, aiming to resolve disputes efficiently while preserving business relationships.
