Capabilities
What I bring
to the table
From disputes to policy — and back
Private practice experience in live commercial and investor–state arbitrations,
combined with IISD policy research on treaty reform. I understand both sides of the table — and the
distance between them.
Jurisdictions that matter
Qualified in India and New York. Currently gaining London practice exposure at
Debevoise and Three Crowns. Common law grounding across Delhi and New York; fluent in LCIA, UNCITRAL, and
ICSID institutional frameworks.
Analytical depth across formats
Pleadings, skeleton arguments, witness statements, policy briefs, and peer-reviewed
legal commentary. Research that reaches publication standard — not just internal memos.
