International Centre for Appropriate Dispute Resolution & Prevention
sturcture
Given the legal requirement that a potential government designated Centre be registered as a private limited company and difficulties surrounding the incorporation of non-profits in Pakistan and significant delays extending to three years or more in registering a non-profit, ICADRP will be incorporated as a Limited Liability Company; with Dr. Nudrat Ejaz Piracha, Mr. Farrukh K. Qureshi, Mr. Rashid Ibrahim, and Mr. Hamid Farooq as the directors and promoters. The profits of the Centre will be used to further the objectives of the Centre.
The creation of an effective management structure is perhaps one of the most challenging issues faced by law companies today. The operational management of the Center will be governed by a Management Team, which will consist of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and directors. The Chair of the Center will be the Chair of the Management Team.
ICADRP is structured, so it will have Dr. Piracha as the CEO responsible for arbitrations and ADR issues and consultations, managing the overall operations of the Centre, and will therefore be designated as the managing partner.
