Philip Punwar

Mediator

Short Introduction

I am an experienced legal professional with a keen ear, an eye for detail and a well developed sense of humour. In facilitating the resolution of commercial disputes I call upon 35 years international practice as a Barrister based in London and as an AM Law 50 Global Disputes Partner based in Dubai. I have always valued the opportunity to work with clients and colleagues from across the world and to support younger legal practitioners find their professional feet.

About Work

My professional style is grounded in patience, empathy, and respect for the individuals concerned. I recognize that parties often enter discussions uncertain about their true needs, and I work carefully to help them clarify their priorities without pressure. I appreciate the role played by each party's representative and aim to ensure their contributions are acknowledged and integrated into the process. In this way, I aim to create opportunities for candid dialogue and constructive settlement proposals.
