<h1>Arbitration cooperation between India and UK expands legal practice and cross-border dispute resolution under new trade and regulatory reforms.</h1> The India-UK Free Trade Agreement and earlier law-and-justice cooperation create conditions for expanded arbitration-linked commercial activity and legal services exchange.
