Aniket Pandey
@aniketpandey
In-house legal professional specializing in contract management and arbitration risk mitigation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an in-house lawyer with 2+ years of PQE, focused on the end-to-end lifecycle of high-stakes legal documentation and risk mitigation. I strengthen enforceability by deconstructing multi-layered commercial agreements and ensuring alignment with regulatory frameworks and business objectives.
At AKA Logistics, I’m currently managing complex arbitration matters against Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) at the witness action stage before a Sole Arbitrator. I coordinate with external counsels to align case strategy, prepare briefing notes, and manage high-stakes litigation timelines while ensuring evidentiary documents and affidavits maintain factual consistency across related proceedings.
Previously, as a Legal Officer at TCI Express, I supported transactions by identifying contractual risk exposure and mitigation mechanisms in commercial dealings. I reviewed and structured vendor agreements, service contracts, and commercial arrangements for compliance with the Companies Act and applicable regulatory frameworks, and I represented the company before consumer forums, civil courts, tribunals, and statutory authorities as an authorised representative.
I also bring hands-on dispute and drafting experience from roles including Kalp Associates LLP and multiple internships. I’ve drafted and vetted commercial contracts (including rent and service agreements), resolved disputes through negotiation, mediation, and settlement, and contributed to arbitration documentation such as Section 34 petitions—always with an emphasis on documentation discipline, enforceability, and practical business outcomes.
