The Story in Brief
Shaneen Parikh, former CAM disputes partner, has joined Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas as a partner, Bar and Bench reports. With over three decades of experience, she is dual-qualified as a solicitor in India and England & Wales, an advocate-on-record at the Supreme Court of India, and a registered foreign lawyer at the Singapore International Commercial Court.
Parikh has acted in arbitrations seated in Singapore, London, New York, Geneva, Zurich, Dubai and across India, under SIAC, ICC, LCIA, MCIA, DIAC and ICA rules. She began her career with the erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas, spent two decades there, and then a decade at CAM as head of international arbitration.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Indian firms are losing their top arbitration talent to foreign outfits misses the point. Parikh's move is within the national ecosystem. The real test is whether Indian seats like GIFT City and Mumbai become the preferred venues, not just for Indian parties but for global ones. Watch how many international awards cite Indian seats. That number will settle the debate on whether we are truly building a homegrown arbitration hub or just shuffling chairs.
