DK Business Network

Mr. Vyapak Desai, a well-known name in international arbitration and dispute resolution, has stepped down from his role at Nishith Desai Associates after a long and influential tenure. He will now be setting up his own independent legal chambers, marking a major shift in his professional journey. The move is seen as both a personal milestone and a notable shift in the landscape of high-stakes dispute resolution in India

During his time at Nishith Desai Associates, Desai led the firm’s International Disputes & Investigations practice and was instrumental in handling a range of complex matters from investment treaty arbitration to cross-border commercial disputes and regulatory probes. His work has spanned jurisdictions including Singapore, London, and Malaysia, and he has been associated with major arbitration bodies such as MCIA, SIAC, and CIArb.

The new chambers will focus on high-value Litigation and Arbitration, with a strong emphasis on client-centric service. Operating independently allows Mr. Desai to work more closely with clients, offering strategic solutions in sensitive matters without the structural constraints of a large firm. The setup is expected to attract both domestic and international clients looking for experienced, focused representation.
