About

Mihir Dalawai is a Senior Associate at S&R Associates, Mumbai, with a strong track record in corporate litigation and dispute resolution across premier Indian law firms and in-house roles. A BA LLB (IPR Hons.) graduate from National Law University, Jodhpur (2019), he has spent his career at institutions that have shaped India’s disputes landscape — Trilegal (twice), ICICI Bank, and now S&R Associates. At Trilegal, he worked in Dispute Resolution across both his associate stints, gaining exposure to high-stakes commercial litigation and arbitration. His tenure as Senior Legal Manager at ICICI Bank added a rare in-house dimension to his profile, covering banking litigation and legal risk. His practice reflects a sophisticated blend of tier-1 private practice and in-house experience, with a focus on corporate disputes, commercial litigation, and international arbitration. He actively engages with the arbitration community through forums such as ICC India events.
