A&Y Partners: Our Story as First-Generation Lawyers
We started as a newlywed couple in 2014 with nothing but a shared vision. Today, we share our story of building A&Y Partners, where personal connection meets professional expertise in Bengaluru.
We were honored to be featured by Homegrown in their series on entrepreneurial couples. In the article, we share our story of starting A&Y Partners and navigating the challenges of building a law firm together.
A core belief we share is that to go far, you must go together. This principle guides us not only as a working couple but also in how we collaborate with our clients and team on their legal journeys.
A moment in my office. As a co-founder and woman in law, I am passionate about creating a space where legal expertise and a modern, approachable work culture can thrive together.
About this collection
When you walk into our office in Victoria Layout, you won't find the stiff, traditional atmosphere of a corporate firm. Instead, you'll find us—Ajay and Yogmaya—figuring out how to protect your brand or business just as we did for our own. We believe legal support shouldn't feel like a barrier to your growth, but a partnership in it.
We launched A&Y Partners in 2014 with no legal legacy behind us. As first-generation lawyers, we faced every challenge you might be experiencing today, from navigating confusing trademark hurdles to understanding complex IP laws for the first time. Our journey has been defined by a core belief: to go far, you must go together.
This shared approach is the foundation of our firm. Whether you are a Bangalore-based startup dealing with copyright licensing or an entrepreneur trying to secure a trademark, we approach your case with the same rigor and empathy we have applied to our own practice. We have been featured in Homegrown and Entrepreneurs of India not just because of the cases we have won, but because of the way we practice: with transparency, mentorship, and a genuine interest in your success.
We know legal jargon can be confusing. That is why we focus on making the law accessible, breaking down technicalities into actionable advice. When we work with you, you are not just getting legal counsel; you are working with a team that views your business as a partner. We have built our family at A&Y, and we are here to help you protect yours.
