The Gujarat High Court, in collaboration with the Gujarat High Court Arbitration Centre (GHAC), will organise GHAC Arbitration Week 2026 from 4 to 6 September 2026 at GIFT City Club in Gandhinagar. The theme is 'Building Gujarat's Institutional Arbitration Ecosystem' with the tagline 'Three Days – Three Stakeholders – One Vision'. The opening ceremony is on 3 September at 7 PM.
The event will bring together judges, senior advocates, law officers, arbitrators, and representatives of domestic and international arbitration institutions. Sessions will cover arbitration law developments, institutional arbitration, investment treaty arbitration, private international law, and the use of technology and artificial intelligence in arbitration. The opening ceremony will feature Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, and Minister Kaushik Vekariya.
Speakers include Supreme Court judges, former judges, and international arbitration experts. The valedictory session on the final day, titled 'What changes must India bring into the arbitration regime?', will feature Attorney General for India R. Venkataramani. Registration is online only from 5 August 2026, on a payment basis, subject to seat availability.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Gujarat is positioning itself as an arbitration hub through GIFT City, which already hosts IFSC courts and international financial services. This week-long event signals a push to attract international commercial arbitration away from Singapore and London. The state government's involvement at the chief minister level indicates political backing for the legal infrastructure. Key measure: the number of international arbitration filings at GHAC in the year following the event will show whether the ecosystem gains traction.
