Ishaan Madaan has joined Mandelbaum Barrett PC as Counsel in its New York office to launch its International Arbitration practice.
In addition, Madaan will launch and lead the firm’s new India Desk, a strategic initiative aimed at serving Indian businesses, founders, investors, and institutions operating in or entering the U.S. market.
Madaan brings experience across the full arc of the India-U.S. legal corridor to Mandelbaum Barrett PC, including eight years of practice and co-founding a boutique law firm in India, service as a court-appointed arbitrator, an LL.M. in International Arbitration from the University of Miami’s School of Law, where he was the inaugural FDI Moot Scholar, and subsequent experience handling high-value disputes at a major global law firm in New York. Dual-qualified to practice law in India and New York, he is also the founder of Arbinsol, a thought-leadership platform at the intersection of international arbitration and insolvency law.
Commenting on Madaan's joining, Jeffrey M. Rosenthal, Chair of the Firm’s Banking & Financial Services and Bankruptcy & Creditors’ Rights Groups, said,
“Ishaan’s experience in international arbitration and enforcement is a strong complement to our existing practices, particularly as clients increasingly face cross-border challenges involving India and the United States. His ability to navigate disputes, including insolvency and creditor rights issues, will be especially valuable to companies, financial institutions and investors operating across jurisdictions.”
Regarding the new India Desk, Rosenthal added,
“With Madaan’s arrival, Mandelbaum Barrett is well-positioned to offer clients on the U.S.-India corridor a more integrated U.S. platform that understands both the commercial expectations and cultural context in which those matters are shaped, while serving as a bridge for collaboration with leading law firms in India.”
On joining Mandelbaum Barrett, Madaan said,
“The U.S.-India business corridor is at an inflection point. Indian companies are scaling into the U.S., U.S. investors are deepening their India exposure, and the transactions and disputes that follow require lawyers who understand both sides — not just the law, but the culture, the sensitivities, and the commercial realities that drive decisions. Mandelbaum Barrett brings exactly the platform this moment calls for, and I look forward to what we will build together.”
Mandelbaum Barrett's new International Disputes and Enforcement practice will advise clients on international arbitration, cross-border litigation and bankruptcies, investigations, emergency relief, and enforcement strategy across jurisdictions.
This practice also features the firm’s new India Desk, which is focused on matters involving the U.S.-India business corridor.
