JSA was privileged to co-host a breakfast panel discussion with AAA-ICDR Asia Case Management Centre at the Delhi Arbitration Weekend 2025.
The distinguished panel comprised of Hon'ble Mr. Justice M.M. Sundresh (Judge, Supreme Court of India), Ms. Thara Gopalan (Vice President, AAA-ICDR), Mr. Jimmy Yim, SC (Chairman, Drew & Napier LLC, Singapore), Mr. Amit Sibal (Senior Advocate and Associate Member, 3 Verulam Buildings Barristers), Ms. Genevieve Poirier (Partner, LALIVE London) and Mr. Dheeraj Nair (Partner, JSA Advocates & Solicitors), who brought exceptional depth to the discussion.
The panel titled "Global Deals, Indian Threads: The Next Wave of Cross-Border Disputes"explored how global deal structures are growing increasingly complex, with Indian capital expanding outward through layered SPVs, minority stakes, and frontier-market transactions, while inbound capital grapples with ESG compliance and exit constraints. These dynamics are giving rise to a new category of cross-border disputes, particularly within the framework of international arbitration.
The discussion also addressed issues of state immunity and the divergent approaches taken by courts in enforcing arbitral awards, highlighting the challenge of balancing commercial interests with broader public considerations.
The Bar Bulletin interviewed the panellists on their views on the topic.
