In practice, Pratap Sabharwal handles the full arbitration lifecycle. The lawyer can help you draft robust arbitration clauses that survive scrutiny in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Throughout the hearing, the lawyer presents oral arguments, cross‑examines witnesses, and drafts persuasive pleadings. If the arbitral award needs enforcement, the lawyer files the necessary petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where the lawyer’s familiarity with the court’s procedural preferences speeds the process.
