Raghav has extensive advocacy experience and has acted as both lead and co-counsel in complex trials, appeals, judicial review proceedings, and domestic and international arbitrations. His commercial practice includes disputes involving major infrastructure projects, construction delays and deficiencies, insolvency and corporate restructuring, securities regulation, shareholder interests, public procurement, and contractual risk.
