We have been trusted advisers for over 30 years to Indian clients and to businesses operating in the Indian market in relation to the resolution of disputes. Legal directories have commended our practice and our lawyers for our great industry knowledge, depth of understanding, and appreciation of the Indian market and how clients in the market like to be advised.
We have a strong track record on India-related arbitration work and extensive experience advising on a range of heavyweight disputes and investigations for Indian clients and/or arising out of projects, transactions and ventures involving a number of industry sectors in India.
We have a solid record of accomplishment built on our deep understanding of our Indian clients’ requirements and India’s history as a country and as a commercial marketplace.
Our global footprint, in particular our offices in London, the United States, Singapore and the Middle East, positions the firm perfectly to advise on disputes relating to India. Our offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and our long-standing experience in the Middle East region enable us to advise on investment and trade between India and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, while Singapore is universally regarded as a gateway to commerce with, and a preferred disputes hub for, Indian clients. Like other non-Indian law firms, we do not practice Indian law, but given the needs of each matter, we leverage our excellent and long-standing relationships with law firms in India to enable us to source the best local legal counsel for clients.
Our international arbitration team handles arbitration proceedings pursuant to all the major arbitral institutions and rules, including the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC). In addition to our arbitration expertise, we have considerable experience of the enforcement of, and challenges to, arbitral awards, mediations and the negotiation of settlements.
Our clients benefit from our strong sector focus, with particular experience in arbitration in the energy and natural resources, infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, health care, shipping, telecommunications, media and technology, and finance industries. We partner with and guide our clients every step of the way, acting as trusted advisers to clients including banks, global corporations, high-net-worth individuals, and leaders in the fields of, for example, pharmaceuticals, health care, energy, natural resources and commodities and whether they are already operating, or are planning to operate, in India.
