Nutash Kotwal

Nutash brings a meticulous, strategic, and solutions-oriented approach to commercial and civil litigation, shaped by over a decade of experience across courts, tribunals, and arbitral forums in India and abroad. As Principal Associate at RJD & Partners, his practice covers high-stakes civil and commercial litigation, shareholder conflicts, writ petitions, commercial arbitrations (both domestic and international), and regulatory litigation.

He also advises on general corporate matters where legal foresight must align with strategic business outcomes. He is frequently instructed in matters requiring rapid, high-stakes intervention, from obtaining anti-arbitration injunctions and interim reliefs in cross-border disputes, to resolving shareholder deadlocks, defending complex IP claims, and steering litigation arising from insolvency proceedings and regulatory action. Clients value his ability to cut through complexity, balance legal and commercial risk, and craft strategies that hold, whether in court or around the negotiating table.

When he’s not navigating courtrooms and clauses, Nutash is passionate about motorcycles, tennis, Formula 1, architecture, social impact work, and reading modern and legal history, ideally with strong coffee and stronger opinions.
