His background as a former in-house lawyer means he truly understands how trading houses operate — not just legally, but commercially and operationally. He’s acutely aware of the pressures we face and the type of advice we actually need: clear, timely, and actionable. Sumeet consistently delivers that. He’s not afraid to give a firm view on whether a claim is worth pursuing, which is incredibly valuable when quick, confident decision-making is required. His responsiveness is exceptional — he’s available when it matters and always quick to grasp the core of an issue. Working with him feels like an extension of our own team, and that kind of support is rare and highly appreciated.’
