Divya Harchandani

I am a disputes lawyer with a focus on international arbitration, with a strong academic foundation and diverse cross border experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in Economics, after which I pursued post graduate studies in law where I was awarded merit-based scholarship throughout. I began my legal career by working on numerous domestic and international arbitrations across construction, infrastructure and telecom sectors in Indian law firms. Seeking to deepen my international exposure, I completed an LLM in International Arbitration at National University of Singapore. I am currently part of the International Arbitration team at WongPartnership, where I work on a broad spectrum of cross-border disputes. My work involves advising on complex arbitrations under various institutional rules and actively support the firm’s growing India practice by leveraging my on-ground experience and regional insights.
