“His legal expertise, dedication and unwavering commitment to us has consistently impressed me. Chinnappa possesses a remarkable ability to navigate complex legal matters. This was made evident to us during our interactions with him on our case, which encompassed legal, regulatory and practical considerations. He has always provided clear and accessible guidance to us and has simplified legal decision-making for people who do not have a background in law. His compassion and empathy make him stand out in the legal profession.”

“Throughout the entire arbitration process that lasted three years, Chinnappa displayed a remarkable ability to analyse the intricacies of the case and develop a strategic approach for both our defence and counterclaims. On several occasions, he has burnt the midnight oil before we could develop a strategy and found evidence that mattered from among several thousand pieces of correspondence and technical reports.”
