Team: Singh & Associates – Dispute Resolution & Litigation Team
Turnaround Time: The turnaround time of S&A is very minimal. Sometimes, I am surprised how they are able to deliver so quickly. They understand complex legal issues in a very short time.
Overall Services: Our experience with S&A is extremely satisfying. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience and they are happy to share the same with all the clients. The biggest advantage I have found in working with S&A is that apart from having a sound understanding of law, they have an extremely high commercial and business sense. This is not the case with many law firms. I found that particularly in the field of EPC and Construction Contracts, S&A has the expertise in financial, engineering and business aspects as well, besides the expertise on legal issues. Further, S&A is always abreast of the developments in the legal filed across the globe, which is an added advantage.
Individual Person:
Manoj Kumar Singh: The best brain on any dispute in the field of construction. He has expertise in law, finance and technical aspects of construction. He is an original thinker and he constantly keeps himself updated on various developments. Apart from this, he has developed an enviable team of young and experienced lawyers.
Gunita Pahwa: We are working on an important infrastructure arbitration matter with Gunita. She is extremely good in understanding complex engineering and technical issues. She is also very prompt in her response to any query from us and is always available for clarifying any doubts or answering any queries. She is very methodical and organised in her work and studies the matter from all angles. It is a pleasure working with her.
Nilava Bandyopadhyay: We are also working with Nilava on some arbitration matters. He is extremely hardworking and has thorough knowledge of various aspects of infrastructure projects. He understands very quickly and his drafting skill is his one of his strengths. Interacting with Nilava is both a pleasure and a learning experience.” Mr. Venkat Rao – General Counsel

The best thing about Singh & Associates is that they arrive at simpler solutions to the most complex problems. Chanakya of the legal fraternity, Mr. Manoj K Singh, bestowed with exceptional wisdom, vast knowledge, and rational thinking, has always found ways and means to logically approach any legal problem. A true visionary, Manoj, has taken many a steps and contributed immensely, to the development and strengthening of arbitration institution in India. The ADR centre is par excellence, equipped with everything an Arbitration centre could need, including the latest in IT and other tech. I have known Manoj, personally and professionally, for a long time now, and I have closely observed him grow leaps and bounds, building and strengthening his focus on development of Arbitrations and Conciliation both in India, and overseas.
Singh & Associates with its presence all over the country, and overseas, has always put great emphasis on research, thus laying the foundation of bringing the best outcomes, from a dispute. Their strong structures and system-driven processes, honed and perfected over time, are cornerstones of their philosophy- the more we know, better will be the outcome. S&A has imbibed the saying If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail in its DNA and it has yielded positive results for every stake holder.
Manoj’s strong hold on finance, coupled with his engineering background, makes him an apt fit for comprehending engineering disputes, and thereby offering feasible solutions in tandem with the requirement of the business.
His recent book "Infrastructure Arbitration - a perspective" is a significant contribution from Mr. Singh to not only the legal fraternity, but also, to professionals / budding contract administrators and law aspirants. Similarly, hosting various webinars related to change in law / Force Majeure etc during the present crisis of COVID-19 deserves a special mention and appreciation. Such webinars, while educational and informative, are also opening horizons of a fresh outlook, and opportunities which otherwise were opaque due to the previously followed, restricted conventional approach.
I wish all the luck to Mr. Singh and S&A for all their future endeavours.” Sunil Kumar Trehan - Director
