Who we are?


PIDW is a passionate team with a clear mission: to revolutionize Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) practices in Pakistan and align them with the best standards from around the world. We achieve this by bringing together a diverse group of experts. Our team includes international speakers, academics, and professionals with extensive experience in construction, power, and many other industries. Our core focus is three-fold: building a strong community, staying current on global trends, and promoting excellence in ADR. We provide a platform for dispute resolution practitioners and organizations to connect and build lasting professional networks. We keep participants informed about the latest advancements in ADR happening internationally.

Our Aim: Building a Global Network for Effective Dispute Resolution


PIDW was born from a vision of a revitalized global dispute resolution landscape. We believe in fostering collaboration and progress through a dedicated annual event. Here's what drives us: to connect the dispute resolution community, embrace innovation in ADR practices, spark dialogue with leading practitioners, and expand opportunities for transnational business ventures. But our vision extends beyond these core objectives. We aspire to revitalize ADR practices globally, promoting a culture of "review, reflect, and revive" that incorporates valuable knowledge from around the world.

Our aim is to build bridges between diverse facets of the community, nurturing partnerships amongst arbitrators, ADR centres, mediators, legal professionals, industry leaders, and media. We champion growth by prioritizing continuous professional development within the dispute resolution community, promoting inclusivity and diversification.

At PIDW, we are committed to our core values, and actively seek collaboration with organizations and individuals who share our vision.

Join us at PIDW'24 to contribute to these shared goals and shape the future of dispute resolution together.
