Bharucha & Partners (B&P) has added Advani & Co founder Hiroo Advani and his team, demonstrating the shared vision of Advani and B&P in the practice of law. He joins as a Senior Partner at the firm. Advani is one of India’s finest arbitration practitioners with proven excellence in handling complex, high-stakes disputes in arbitration across institutions. He furthers B&P’s skillsets and capabilities, and adds to the formidable MP Bharucha – often described as a ’weapon of choice’ in arbitration – and Sneha Jaisingh, who has rapidly established herself as a leading Disputes practitioner in the country. Following his tenure as a member of the SIAC Court, Advani presently holds office as a member of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) Court, and also appears before Indian courts. Most recently, he was lead counsel in the Group of Companies Doctrine case where, in a landmark decision of a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court of India chaired by the Chief Justice of India, non-signatories to an arbitration clause were held to be subject to arbitration proceedings.
