Senior Advocate Gourab Banerji has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to endow the Milon K Banerji Centre for Arbitration Law at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad.
Former Supreme Court judge Justice (retd) Rohinton Fali Nariman will be the Chair of the Centre, and Senior Advocate Ritin Rai will be its Co-Chair. Banerji is donor and patron.
The Centre's board will also include NALSAR alumni Dr. Amit George as Director [Research] and Shreya Parikh and Chand Chopra as Associate Directors [Research].
The Centre is named in honour of Banerji’s father, the late Milon K Banerji, an eminent jurist who served as Attorney General for India for two terms, between 1992 to 1996 and 2004 to 2009.
The Centre is a research and teaching hub for legal scholars, practitioners and policymakers to exchange ideas, educate and contribute to the evolution of arbitration practices.
