A&Y Partners: Intellectual Property & Legal Support
We are Ajay and Yogmaya. As first-generation lawyers, we built our firm to make intellectual property and commercial law less confusing and more human.
We are Ajay and Yogmaya, the founding partners of A&Y Partners. As first-generation lawyers, we built our firm on the principle of making complex intellectual property law clear and accessible for creators and entrepreneurs.
Can you trademark your surname in India? This is a common question we address in our IP law practice. The answer is nuanced and depends on factors like distinctiveness, which we help our clients navigate.
We are deeply grateful for feedback like this from our former interns. It reflects the supportive and educational environment we cultivate, which is central to our philosophy of mentoring future legal professionals.
Mentoring is at the heart of what we do. Here we are with our talented interns from April 2025, discussing the practical aspects of IP litigation and trademark law in our office.
We started A&Y Partners as newlyweds and have been balancing our roles as partners in law and in life for over a decade. Our shared journey is the foundation of our firm's collaborative spirit.
It was a pleasure connecting with fashion designer Tarun Tahiliani. We specialize in providing intellectual property guidance to creative professionals, helping protect their designs, brands, and artistic work.
Our team is our family. Here is a snapshot from a farewell lunch with our bright and productive interns from June and July, celebrating their contributions to our firm.

About Featured
We often get asked if a specific surname can be trademarked or why a seemingly minor logo choice might cause legal issues later. Legal jargon can feel like a barrier, so we focus on clear, practical steps to protect your brand, whether you are an artist, a startup founder, or a small business owner in Bengaluru.
We started A&Y Partners in 2014 because we wanted to bridge the gap between complex legal requirements and the people actually building businesses. Law is not just about paperwork; it is about protecting your effort. Our work covers the full spectrum of intellectual property, from trademark registration to navigating copyright licensing for venues.
We see it all the time: a business skips a public performance license for music or misses a phonetic conflict during a trademark search, leading to avoidable headaches later. If you are unsure where to start, we offer a 60-minute partner-led session to map out your specific needs. We treat your work with the same care we put into mentoring our associates and interns, whom we affectionately call our office babies. From our office in Victoria Layout to clients across India, we are here to walk you through the process, minus the intimidation.
