Professional Experience

a. I have appeared and participated as Advocate/Counsel in more than 53 Arbitration cases before the Tribunal, participated as Advocate/Counsel in more than 45 cases in relation to Arbitration before the Courts. 

b. I have also practiced as an Arbitrator since 2016. Over the years I have been appointed as an Arbitrator in a variety of commercial disputes. I am empanelled with 14 Institutes/Courts as Arbitrator and Emergency Arbitrator. The most noteworthy has been the case where I had passed award in a claim for $16.23 million and where the Award was challenged before the High Court. However, the Court upheld the Award and all its findings on every challenge including exemplary costs imposed by me on the Respondent.

c. More than 50% of Arbitrations conducted by me have been disposed of within less than 6 months.

Style & Approach

Expedited Approach: I believe that all parties need to collaboratively resolve and reach a resolution in a very clear and most peaceful manner with minimum disruptions to either party. Time is the essence of Arbitration. It is very important to complete the proceedings in a time-bound manner. Justice delayed is justice denied.
