jhana and CADRE ODR Announce Strategic Partnership to Bring Legal AI Intelligence to Online Arbitration and Mediation
BENGALURU, India, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Between 2018-2025, Online Dispute Resolution took the justice world by storm. With lakhs of disputes being resolved through digital-first mechanisms, ODR is steadily easing the pressure on traditional court processes especially in time-sensitive commercial and regulatory matters. How does this impact go from incremental to exponential?
In a recent development, jhana - a legal AI intelligence lab, has entered into a strategic partnership with CADRE ODR, an award winning online dispute resolution platform, to integrate AI-powered legal research tools into digital arbitration and mediation proceedings.
The collaboration aims to provide arbitrators, mediators, and conciliators empanelled with CADRE ODR access to jhana’s legal research and document analysis platform. The tools are designed to assist dispute resolution professionals in navigating complex legal materials, analysing case documents, and improving the efficiency of quasi-judicial proceedings conducted online.
In the initial phase, the partnership will focus on dispute resolution professionals handling securities markets matters through SEBI’s SMART ODR framework, along with a limited number of corporate commercial cases. The scope may be expanded in the future based on user feedback and operational outcomes.
jhana, which develops AI-driven solutions for legal research and analysis, will also provide onboarding, training sessions, and ongoing technical support to users on the CADRE ODR platform. Feedback from arbitrators and mediators will be actively collected to refine the tools and adapt them to real-world dispute resolution requirements.
According to industry observers, such collaborations highlight the growing convergence of legal practice and technology in India. With courts facing mounting backlogs and businesses seeking faster dispute resolution mechanisms, ODR platforms supported by advanced legal technology are increasingly being viewed as viable and scalable alternatives.
