Disputes are won or lost in the first four weeks — in how you read the arbitration clause, choose the right arbitral seat, appoint a strategically chosen arbitrator, and frame your Statement of Defence. We work across domestic and international commercial arbitrations with the same rigour whether the governing rules are ad hoc under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 or institutional under ICC, SIAC, or LCIA. When litigation is the right path, we appear before the Bombay High Court Commercial Division and the Supreme Court.
