Hiroo Advani Joins Bharucha & Partners

Bharucha & Partners (B&P) is delighted that Hiroo Advani, who founded Advani & Co., has joined the Senior Partnership at the Firm and brings his team with him. This follows from the vision which Hiroo and B&P share with respect to practising the law.

Hiroo Advani is one of India’s finest arbitration practitioners with proven excellence in handling complex, high-stakes, disputes in arbitration across institutions. Hiroo 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, Hiroo presently holds office as a member of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) Court.

Hiroo 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 (CJI), which non-signatories to an arbitration clause were held to be subject to arbitration proceedings.

Hiroo and Justin especially thank Shivani Bagdai of TriChambers for helping structure this initiative and bring it to fruition.

“B&P has consistently showcased remarkable expertise across practice areas, especially in arbitration”, said Hiroo Advani. “Teaming up with MP, Sneha, and the rest of our practitioners, I believe we will set new benchmarks in arbitration.”

Justin M Bharucha said that “Hiroo needs no introduction and we’re delighted to be working together. Hiroo’s unmatched experience in arbitration and as an arbitrator adds to MP’s vast experience and Sneha’s leadership.”

Hiroo’s joining B&P adds to the Firm’s position as the Firm of 1st choice for complex, high stakes, dispute resolution.
