International Trade and Commodities
We represent global and regional commodities traders, exporters, importers, and logistics operators in high-stakes disputes, trade compliance, and cross-border enforcement across multiple jurisdictions. Our work spans the full spectrum of commodity-linked disputes—including sale of goods, shipping, trade finance, and sanctions compliance.
We have acted for and against leading commodities trading houses in arbitrations and enforcement proceedings spanning North America, Europe, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, including matters involving non-delivery, quality disputes, price fluctuations, force majeure, and default claims. Our experience includes arbitration under institutional and ad hoc rules, often linked to GAFTA, FOSFA, UNCITRAL, and ICC frameworks.
We regularly advise on trade finance litigation, including disputes involving letters of credit, bank guarantees, structured commodity finance, and fraud-related recovery actions. Our work includes advising on shipping-related claims—charterparty breakdowns, cargo damage, and demurrage—particularly where contractual disputes intersect with global supply chain disruption.
We also assist clients with regulatory risk, including sanctions compliance, customs enforcement, and anti-corruption exposure in cross-border trading arrangements. Our team is engaged in advising on enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and judgment recognition before Indian courts.
With deep sectoral insight and strong international capability, we deliver strategic and enforceable outcomes to clients navigating complex commodity markets and cross-border legal risk.
