Litigation Funding, DBAs & Global Arbitration – Insights with Shivani Sanghi

Welcome to a special ADR Week edition of The Daily Lawyer!

In this insightful episode, we sit down with Shivani Sanghi, Partner at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP) in London, who leads their India practice in International Arbitration and Commercial Litigation.

With over 15 years of cross-border experience across the UK, India, Russia, BVI, and more, Shivani unpacks the evolving landscape of arbitration, particularly the cost structures that can make or break a dispute strategy.

From Contingency Fee Agreements (CFAs) to Damages-Based Agreements (DBAs) and the rise of third-party litigation funding, she shares the tools law firms and clients are using to manage risk in high-stakes cases.

We also talk about the implications of recent UK rulings like the PACCAR judgement, and how clients in India are starting to explore creative ways of managing dispute resolution costs, even though Indian lawyers face unique limitations.

For law students and young professionals, Shivani offers deeply inspiring career advice from her journey from NALSAR in Hyderabad to the top international courts in London.
