Career

Binsy Susan is a Partner in the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration practice group in the New Delhi Office. She has around 19 years of rich and diverse experience in handling corporate and commercial litigations and arbitrations.

She started her career in Disputes with the Firm in 2009, after she returned to India with an LL.M. degree from New York University School of Law, New York. Prior to that, she was pursuing transactional practice with AZB & Partners since 2005.

She is a well-known name in the arbitration field and routinely handles complex international and domestic commercial arbitration matters as well as corporate litigation. She routinely handles high profile and complex disputes, in sectors ranging from construction, information technology & telecom, oil & gas, infrastructure. She has been representing clients in arbitrations conducted by various international institutions (e.g., International Chambers of Commerce, Singapore International Arbitration Center, London Court of International Arbitration, American Arbitration Association, Center for Arbitration & Mediation of the Chamber of Commerce, Brazil) as well various international and national ad hoc tribunals.

She also works closely with various international law firms across jurisdictions (such as in the United States, United Kingdom, and Brazil) and with King’s Counsel/ Junior Barristers of the Royal Courts of Justice, United Kingdom.

She advises and represents social media companies like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram before various judicial fora, including High Courts across India and the Supreme Court of India, particularly in relation to cutting-edge matters concerning data privacy, data protection, cybersecurity and the scope of liability of intermediaries under Indian law.

She formed part of the core team representing the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) before the Supreme Court of India dealing with the Presidential Reference on allocation of natural resources. The Supreme Court (In re, Special Reference No.1 of 2012; (2012) 10 SCC 1) ultimately approved the CII stand that auction is not the only method of allocation of natural resources, contrary to what was suggested by the earlier judgment in the 2G Spectrum Case ((2012) 3 SCC 1).
