Shivani SANGHI

I am a dual-qualified International Arbitration and Commercial Litigation
specialist, and a Solicitor-Advocate in England and Wales and an Advocate in
India.

I have extensive experience in creatively and strategically resolving complex, highvalue
cross-border International Arbitrations and Litigations, working with clients
across multiple jurisdictions including India, UK, Russia, British Virgin Islands,
Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and the Balkan region. I have
significant experience in Emergency Arbitrations, and in matters involving fraud,
conspiracy, and world-wide freezing injunctions.
I act for corporates and high-net worth individuals in a variety of sectors, including
media, hotels, energy, telecoms, banking, private equity, pharma, and software
technology, and have represented clients in many high-profile cases before the
English courts, including the Court of Appeal and the UK Supreme Court. I have also
acted for clients in complex high-stake arbitrations, under the rules of various
arbitration institutions such as the ICC, LCIA, SCC and SIAC, in venues around the
world.
I previously practiced as an Advocate in Delhi at specialist Indian disputes law firm
Sanghi & Co and have experience of the Indian courts including the Indian Supreme
Court and the Delhi High Court. During my time in India, I advised Indian corporates
on matters including cross-border disputes involving multi-party arbitration and
high-stake contractual disputes involving anti-suit injunctions, challenges to foreign
arbitral awards and other aspects of private international law.
Having qualified in 2009 in India, I was previously part of the commercial litigation
and arbitration teams at King & Wood Mallesons (formerly SJ Berwin), Fried Frank and
Covington & Burling.
Being of Indian origin, I am fluent in Hindi and English.
