We could not have asked for a better start to the new year! Keystone Partners enters The Legal 500 Asia Pacific rankings for Dispute Resolution in India at Tier 3, with a few kind words about our firm:

"Keystone Partners' 'excellent' team provides 'comprehensive, consistent and quality advice' on disputes across a range of sectors. Pradeep Nayak is a key practitioner. A major highlight for the group was representing 20 LGBT students of the Indian Institutes of Technology in a public interest litigation before the Supreme Court of India regarding the constitutional validity of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code"

Our partners, Anupama Hebbar, Pritha Srikumar and Sita Kapadia have co-authored Practical Law's primer on Dispute Resolution and Enforcement in India - with inputs from our associates across our Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai offices - with Kaustav Saha, Pranav Budihal, Varsha Shivanagowda, and Vedanth Anand.

Keystone Partners' Pritha Srikumar Iyer writes on the historic Navtej Singh Johar judgement of the Supreme Court of India, which struck down the abhorrent and draconian Sec 377 of the IPC, and took the first leap towards ensuring real equality and dignity of LGBT persons. While we recognise that there is still a lot more to be done towards achieving this end, this is a great first step and we are grateful for the opportunity to work on this case.

Pritha appeared for 20 LGBTQ students and IIT alumni in the Supreme Court, assisted by our amazing team, with Arun Sri Kumar, Vasudha Sharma, Neha Mathen, Kaustav Saha, Arunima Kedia, and Keystone alum Smaran Shetty. The team was led in court by counsels Menaka Guruswamy and Arundhati Katju. We’re so proud of you all! ❤️

The apex court’s verdict on Section 377 shows how the Constitution’s transformative power can be used to achieve an equal society.

Vikas Mahendra and Kaustav Saha write on the Arbitration and Conciliation Amendment Bill, 2018.

While, the overall intent of the 2018 Arbitration and Conciliation Bill is laudable, the Bill itself has a generous mix of the good, the bad and the ugly.

The policy rationale underlying the recent Supreme Court verdict in Cricket in India v Kochi Cricket Pvt. Ltd. is welcome and signifies a pro-arbitration stance. However, the reasoning leaves much to be desired.
