The dispute resolution practice at DSK Legal experienced a significant shift two years ago with the onboarding of a massive litigation team from Luthra and Luthra Law Offices. The exponential growth ushered in a new era for the dispute resolution team, expanding the firm’s contentious capabilities across the full spectrum of practice areas and industry sectors. The team now has expertise in commercial, IPR, regulatory, securities, shareholder, blue-collar and white-collar crime, constitutional, employment, construction, tax, and regulatory disputes, as well as domestic and international arbitrations. With a team led by high-profile and experienced litigators across multiple areas and at all levels of court, the firm consistently finds itself on complex, novel and landmark matters. For example, the team was successful in winning one of the first arbitrations conducted under the rule of the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce. The arbitration team alone features 16 dedicated partners.
The disputes team is led by managing partner Anand Desai and includes Abdullah Hussain, Sajit Suvarna, Kunal Mehra, Kanika Chaudhary Nayar, Nirav Shah, Jatin Pore, Kirat Singh Nagra, Dinesh Pardasani, Samir Malik, Kartik Yadav, Parag Khandhar and Samit Shukla.
The team recently acted for Bharti International Singapore in an SIAC arbitration related to a contract dispute arising out of non-payment of satellite internet services. The antitrust group represented the Andhra Pradesh Excise Department and the Andhra Pradesh State Beverages Corporation before the competition regulator in an abuse of dominance case filed by the International Spirits and Wines Association of India.
