Pia Mithani’s bio
- Position: Partner since 2021
- Practice area: Fraud and Commercial Litigation
- Key clients: Large foreign and domestic public sector organisations and overseas governments
“I find the psychology of a fraudster fascinating,” says Pia Mithani, who has always been drawn to the “insight into human behaviour” that fraud offers. Mithani, who currently co-manages Stewarts’ investigations practice, is seen by the firm as one of the new generations of leaders.
She is currently co-managing one of the largest corruption cases in the UK, a fiercely-contested dispute valued at $1 billion and involving over 20 defendants advised on by a number of elite UK and US firms. Clients have praised her “superior expertise” and “outstanding skill” especially when it involves navigating work with global firms from different countries.
As a mother to a one-year-old as well as being a rising partner, spare time can be “a rare and luxurious commodity”, but when it does arise, Mithani enjoys cooking the Indian food of her Gujarati roots.
