About NLS NMC

NLS NMC is one of Asia’s premier ADR tournaments and among the few international competitions that bring together all three formats – Negotiation, Mediation, and Client Counselling. We are proud to share that the Negotiation Segment of the XI NLS NMC will act as the national qualifier for the International Negotiation Competition (INC) 2026 – the winner of this segment will represent India on the global stage. 

Our panels include distinguished professionals, academicians, mediators, and legal practitioners who evaluate participants and provide detailed feedback. Past editions have featured eminent individuals such as Justice (Retd.) L Nageswara Rao, Mr. Tejas Karia, Ms. Bertha Cooper-Rousseau, among others.

These insights, along with our training sessions by leaders in the field, help participants build a solid foundation in ADR.
