Saraf and Partners and Stewarts jointly hosted the panel discussion, “Into Darkness and Beyond: Contracts Under Fire,” bringing together leading practitioners to examine the contractual and strategic implications of geopolitical instability and regional conflict.
As geopolitical developments continue to reshape the commercial landscape, businesses must navigate increasingly complex contractual and disputes-related challenges in uncertain environments.

- Mohit Saraf (Founder & Managing Partner, Saraf and Partners)
- Mohd. Sadique (Head of International Arbitration, ALAIDAROUS Advocates & Legal Consultants)

Drawing on practical examples and a focused hypothetical scenario, the discussion explored issues including force majeure and frustration, suspension and termination rights, dispute strategy, evidence preservation, and asset recovery in high-risk jurisdictions.
