CIA Centre Brings Criminology Expertise to Global Arbitration: A New Era for Corporate Dispute Resolution with Crimeophobia
New Delhi: In today’s dynamic business environment, companies require swift, reliable, and globally recognized solutions for disputes that often transcend borders. Meeting this need, Crimeophobia has launched the Crimeophobia International Arbitration Centre (CIA Centre) in New Delhi—a cutting-edge platform that unites criminology expertise with world-class arbitration, conciliation, mediation, and negotiation services.
The CIA Centre stands apart by offering not just dispute resolution, but also a retainership model for companies and institutions. Under this arrangement, organizations benefit from continuous ADR support backed by Crimeophobia’s criminology-driven expertise, ensuring they are always equipped to handle conflicts—whether domestic or international—with efficiency and foresight. This retainership also includes access to specialized services such as predictive analytics, compliance with international standards, witness documentation, evidence collection, and certification support, providing companies with a robust framework for preventing and resolving disputes.
The Centre is led by Criminologist Snehil Dhall, founder of Crimeophobia, who has pioneered the application of criminology in the field of ADR. His expertise ensures that each case is not only resolved effectively but also analyzed through a criminological lens to mitigate future risks. Supporting him is Advocate Mareesh Pavir Sahay, an internationally acclaimed arbitrator empanelled with the Dubai International Arbitration Centre, the Indian Council of Arbitration (FICCI), and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, among others. His memberships across arbitration bodies in Brussels, the United States, and the United Kingdom reinforce the Centre’s credibility at a global level.
“The CIA Centre represents a unique convergence of global arbitration standards and criminology expertise. In today’s interconnected world, businesses require solutions that are not only efficient and enforceable across jurisdictions but also rooted in forensic and behavioral insights. Our mission is to provide companies with a platform they can trust—confidential, credible, and truly international in its outlook.” – Adv. Mareesh Pavir Sahay Adding to its strategic advantage, the CIA Centre is located in Janakpuri, New Delhi, just minutes away from the Supreme Court of India as well as key national and international forums. This proximity ensures seamless coordination for companies engaged in high-stakes disputes that require multi-jurisdictional engagement.
“The CIA Centre is not just an arbitration forum—it is a partner for businesses seeking long-term resilience in conflict management,” the founders emphasized. “Through our retainership services and criminology-led ADR model, we aim to deliver justice beyond borders, the criminology way.” With its unique blend of criminology, international arbitration expertise, and strategic location, the Crimeophobia International Arbitration Centre is inviting organizations across industries to adopt a smarter, future-ready approach to corporate dispute management. For businesses that value both resolution and prevention, the CIA Centre represents the new standard in global ADR.
This is an excellent initiative. Criminologist Snehil Dhall Must be complimented for it. This is particularly the need of the hour since judiciaries perceived as the weakest among the government agencies.
