Arjun leads VLO's Middle East & Asia desk from Dubai. His practice centres on institutional and ad hoc arbitration with seats in the region, enforcement of foreign awards through GCC and South Asian courts, and cross-border commercial disputes involving Indian, Pakistani, and GCC parties.
Operational understanding of how GCC and South Asian businesses actually structure their disputes — and where strategy diverges from the textbook — distinguishes his work. The combination of institutional fluency and on-the-ground knowledge matters in regions where formal procedure and local practice often differ.

International legal education with focus on commercial arbitration.
