Chintan joined chambers in July 2021, after spending four years as a solicitor at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP. His practice covers commercial litigation, arbitration and public law litigation. His past and present representations include acting for NMC Health in a $2.5 billion professional negligence claim against EY at the Commercial Court, acting for a Ukrainian commercial bank in PCA arbitration proceedings under the Russia-Ukraine Bilateral Investment Treaty, and acting for a British mining conglomerate in the largest ever tax dispute ($200 billion) against the Tanzania Revenue Authority.
As a solicitor, Chintan was listed by Chambers & Partners as an “associate to watch”, and by Legal 500 as a “key lawyer”, for tax litigation. In 2023, Chintan was the only barrister to receive an India-UK Achievers Award (from amongst the 75 achievers selected) at the India UK Achievers Honours.
