Empanelments
The following roles reflect institutional trust placed in partners of the chambers. They are listed for information — not as an advertisement of results. Construction contractors named in connection with DG MAP and related work appear as claimants or opposite parties in matters where the firm has been instructed for government or PSU interests.
Institutional trust is earned matter by matter. The chambers records below are drawn from documented panel roles and instructed work — framed carefully so that opposite parties in arbitration are never presented as the firm’s clients.
