LONDON, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Crowell & Moring has added leading international arbitration attorney, Chiraag Shah, as a partner in London. Shah brings more than 25 years of experience advising clients around the world on high-stakes arbitration matters to the firm’s International Dispute Resolution practice, as a Chambers-ranked International Arbitration attorney and a Legal 500 Leading Partner in International Arbitration.
“At a time when the global business environment is more challenging than ever, Chiraag’s addition to the Crowell team will deepen our London-based international arbitration capabilities by expanding our capacity to advise clients on complex commercial and investor-state disputes across multiple continents,” said Robert Weekes, managing partner of Crowell’s London office.
Shah joins Crowell from Morrison & Foerster’s London office, where he served as Global Head of International Arbitration and Head of the Africa Desk. He was previously a partner at Kirkland & Ellis. Shah is recognized for his Africa experience, having worked at leading law firms in Kenya for several years before relocating to the UK.
“We are delighted to welcome Chiraag to Crowell,” said Meagan Bachman, chair of Crowell’s International Dispute Resolution Group. “Combining his proven excellence as an arbitration practitioner and longstanding relationships across key arbitration markets, particularly Africa and MENA, with our IDR team’s international presence, including in London, Doha, and Brussels, will enhance our ability to support clients in complex cross-border disputes around the world at the superior level of service we pride ourselves on delivering.”
Shah will strengthen Crowell’s experience on matters spanning Africa and the Middle East with his broad experience across the region, having advised on disputes in Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait amongst others. He also regularly advises on sanctions-related disputes.
“Joining a GAR 100-ranked arbitration practice at a firm with synergies across geographies and practice areas will create immediate opportunities to deliver strategic, cross-disciplinary support to clients navigating complex disputes, arbitration, and litigation,” said Shah. “I’m looking forward to harnessing Crowell’s culture of collaboration and growth alongside colleagues who share a mutual dedication to expanding and enhancing our client services.”
