Swati Soni Verified Lawyer
Biography
In my role as an associate with a leading regional law firm in Dubai, I handled various domestic and international disputes, in particular, I was part of a small team handling a multimillion-dollar cross-border dispute involving various PEPs, in which we successfully obtained favourable orders for our clients in various jurisdictions including Cyprus, Switzerland and Dubai (in the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts).
In addition to this, I have handled construction arbitrations and disputes, rental disputes, employment and labour disputes and advised on corporate structuring and various aspects of UAE and international laws.
During my practice in India, I have handled high-profile matters pertaining to money laundering and corruption, including in relation to the Coal Black Allocation in India. I have also handled cases pertaining to dishonour of cheques, family and matrimonial disputes, property law and other criminal provisions. I was also extensively involved in alternate dispute resolution during my stint in India.
