Testimonials

"I have been very fortunate to work with Reshma on an important legal case connected to a Contractor-Consultant contract. She is knowledgeable in her trade having practiced in several countries, masters the ins and outs of arbitration and other legal activities, enjoys impeccable organizational skills and does a great job gathering amorphous raw information and structuring it into exploitable data – all indispensable skills for your Legal Consultant to have. Not only was she instrumental in helping build a solid case, she is also a pleasure to work & collaborate with. It is exciting to see her launch her own legal practice and embark on this new adventure. I would comfortably recommend her."

"We instructed Reshma’s Law Firm to represent us in a construction arbitration under the ICC rules. Even though Reshma joined during the later part of this process, she was able to fully understand the case from the first week of her service. She was attentive, dedicated and a competent professional. I am grateful for her service and I recommend Ms Reshma without any reservation."
