Poonam Sharma

Poonam Sharma, Advocate, is a highly regarded legal professional with extensive expertise in commercial litigation and arbitration, practicing across key jurisdictions including Uttarakhand, Mumbai, New Delhi, and managing matters before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. With a formidable reputation for strategic legal thinking, precision in contract analysis, and robust enforcement of arbitral awards—both domestic and foreign—Ms. Sharma is among the leading advocates in India for complex cross-border and high-stakes commercial disputes. Her multidimensional practice reflects both legal rigor and commercial practicality, making her a trusted advisor to an array of domestic and international clients. Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution Poonam Sharma commands a broad-based commercial litigation practice, routinely representing clients before the Supreme Court of India, various High Courts, and arbitral tribunals. She has successfully acted in matters involving corporate disputes, real estate conflicts, banking litigation, financial transactions, and construction-related disagreements. Her litigation strategy is characterized by in-depth legal research, sharp procedural insight, and effective courtroom advocacy. She is particularly known for her client-centric approach, ensuring that each matter is addressed with a tailored legal strategy. By identifying key legal issues and leveraging opportunities for negotiated settlement, she often achieves swift and commercially viable outcomes. Her ability to resolve disputes before they escalate to protracted litigation, through structured negotiation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR), reflects her commitment to efficiency and client satisfaction. Ms. Sharma’s presence in jurisdictions such as Uttarakhand, New Delhi, and Mumbai underscores her pan-India capabilities, while her supervision of matters before the Supreme Court ensures continuity and consistency in strategy for clients with multi-tiered legal disputes. Domestic and International Arbitration Ms. Sharma is widely recognized for her expertise in arbitration, both ad hoc and institutional, under Indian as well as international rules (including UNCITRAL, SIAC, and ICC frameworks). She regularly advises and represents clients in arbitrations concerning commercial contracts, infrastructure projects, service agreements, joint ventures, and shareholder disputes. A defining feature of her arbitration practice is her proficiency in the enforcement of arbitral awards—domestic and foreign—under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and relevant international conventions such as the New York Convention. Her procedural and jurisdictional understanding of cross-border enforcement mechanisms enables clients to secure the benefits of favorable awards within Indian territory, and vice versa. She also regularly advises on foreign court decrees and their recognition and execution in India, ensuring her clients can recover or enforce their rights efficiently within a global legal framework. Contractual Drafting, Analysis, and Risk Management Poonam Sharma is a highly proficient legal advisor in the domain of commercial contract analysis. She brings to each engagement a meticulous eye for detail and an ability to decode complex contractual obligations, liabilities, and default clauses. Her advisory work includes reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a wide variety of commercial agreements, with a particular focus on performance obligations, payment milestones, default and penalty provisions, termination clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms. She is regularly consulted for pre-transaction risk audits and due diligence, enabling clients to identify red flags before they mature into legal disputes. Her practical approach and technical acumen in mitigating legal and commercial risks through well-drafted contractual arrangements play a pivotal role in safeguarding client interests. In collaboration with Dr. Shrikant Hathi, Managing Partner of Brus Chambers, Ms. Sharma contributes to developing dispute mitigation strategies and negotiation frameworks that bolster clients' legal positions in both advisory and contentious environments. International Law and Cross-Border Disputes A unique facet of Ms. Sharma’s practice is her academic grounding in international law, having completed a specialized course at Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium, under the tutelage of the eminent Prof. Pierre d’Argent. This academic foundation, combined with her professional experience, renders her exceptionally well-equipped to advise on matters involving cross-border contracts, international arbitration, and enforcement of foreign judgments. Her insight into comparative legal systems and treaty frameworks allows her to advise Indian businesses engaged in international commercial ventures and to support foreign investors with India-bound contractual enforcement and regulatory compliance. Her dual capability in both domestic legal systems and transnational legal norms enables her to guide clients through the complexities of multijurisdictional litigation and arbitration proceedings. Poonam Sharma has been prominently featured in the Asia Pacific Legal 500 as a “Next Generation Lawyer,” an accolade that speaks to her growing stature in the legal profession. This recognition reflects her stellar track record in high-value dispute resolution, her ability to manage sensitive commercial negotiations, and her reputation as a forward-thinking, solutions-oriented legal practitioner. Her inclusion in this prestigious list is a testament to her commitment to excellence, legal innovation, and client service. Peers and clients alike commend her for her ethical rigor, strategic clarity, and tenacity in complex litigation and arbitration proceedings. Client Commitment and Strategic Advisory Poonam Sharma’s practice is distinguished not only by her technical legal skill but also by her unwavering commitment to client interests. Whether advising on contractual structuring, strategizing arbitration claims, or appearing before the Supreme Court, her approach is consistently grounded in pragmatic legal analysis and strategic foresight. She has advised multinational corporations, Indian conglomerates, financial institutions, and individual clients, offering bespoke legal solutions in each case. Her reputation as a reliable, effective, and commercially astute legal advisor makes her one of the most sought-after advocates in India for commercial disputes, contract enforcement, and cross-border arbitration. Her consistent track record of success is reflective of her diligence, discipline, and deep understanding of both procedural law and substantive commercial principles. Poonam Sharma stands at the forefront of commercial litigation and arbitration in India. With exceptional proficiency in handling disputes before courts and tribunals, enforcing foreign awards, and interpreting complex contracts, she exemplifies legal professionalism. Clients with contentious commercial issues—be they contractual, jurisdictional, or transnational—can rely on Ms. Sharma for decisive, effective, and insightful legal representation.
