Sukhi Kaler specializes in both domestic and international commercial litigation including cross-border disputes and enforcement. She covers the entire litigation process, from pre-action advice through to trial and appeals (including to the Supreme Court), advising on a wide range of complex disputes in a number of sectors including mining, aviation, banking and life sciences. Her practice regularly involves claims for breach of contract, fraud, jurisdictional challenges and environmental disputes.

A defining feature of Sukhi’s career is her long-standing role in Kuwait Airways Corporation v Iraqi Airways Company and the Republic of Iraq, one of the most significant and protracted cases in the history of the English Commercial Court. For over a decade, she played a leading role in trial, appellate, and cross-border asset-tracing and enforcement proceedings involving sovereign immunity, fraud, forgery and perjury, and multi-jurisdictional asset recovery exceeding US$1 billion. Her experience coordinating international counsel, managing large litigation teams, and advising boards and senior executives reflects her ability to lead at the highest level on bet-the-company disputes.

Beyond litigation, Sukhi is a trusted advisor to clients navigating enforcement risk and cross-border recovery, with experience in post-judgment strategy and asset tracing across multiple jurisdictions. Her practice frequently involves complex international elements, having acted for clients based in Kuwait, India, Ghana and the U.S.

Widely recognised for her technical excellence, Sukhi is also known for building and sustaining premium client relationships, having secured and led panel appointments for global companies across the fintech, energy and financial services sectors.
