Legacy, Leadership, and Legal Excellence
We bridge heritage with innovation, blending formal process with practical justice to secure your legacy and family wealth.
We believe law is more than just rules; it's about finding the right balance between process and fairness. In this discussion, I explain our guiding philosophy of 'niti' and 'nyay' and how it shapes our approach to succession planning and building a lasting legacy for your family.
Our Private Client Practice is consistently ranked Band 1 by the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, a testament to our team's expertise. This recognition is based on direct feedback from clients who trust us with their most complex cross-border tax and trust planning needs.
We are proud that our Partner, Rishabh Shroff, has been recognized in Fortune India's '40 under 40' list, highlighting our firm's dynamic, forward-looking leadership. This blend of legacy and modern perspective is key to how we advise the next generation of family business leaders.
We actively empower women in family enterprises through focused sessions like "Bahikhata," where we discuss the specific legal and financial intricacies of estate planning. This image captures a lively discussion at EO Jaipur, where we guided members on navigating succession with confidence.
With over four decades of experience, I have learned that building a lasting institution is about leading with heart and purpose. In this conversation with The Economic Times, I share the core leadership lessons that define our firm's commitment to our clients and our people.
Our global perspective is crucial for clients with international interests. Here, our Partner Rishabh Shroff speaks at the prestigious Oxford India Forum about the legal reforms and policy changes that are shaping wealth creation for India's entrepreneurs on a global stage.
We work closely with family offices to navigate the complexities of modern investment portfolios. This masterclass with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) shows our Partner Saloni Shroff sharing practical insights on the legal aspects of startup investing for family businesses.
About Featured
Legal advice should do more than just follow the rules; it must solve the underlying friction that often disrupts family legacy. Whether we are drafting your Will or establishing a family trust, we prioritize clear communication and fair outcomes so your wealth creates stability, not confusion. We look at the context, the personalities, and the long-term impact before we ever put pen to paper.
Our Approach: Niti and Nyay
Law can often feel like an adversarial, precise, and rigid process. We believe there is a fundamental difference between 'niti' (the rules) and 'nyay' (true justice). Our role is to find the fair balance between the two, because those are the only outcomes that actually last.
Why Families Choose Us
- 108 Years of Heritage: We have seen the Indian legal landscape evolve since before independence. This history gives us a perspective on continuity that few firms can match.
- Not Just Paperwork: While we handle complex documentation—from succession planning and Wills to establishing private family trusts—our goal is to minimize family discord. We include protocols for video-recording and independent witnessing to prevent future litigation before it starts.
- Global and Local: Whether you are dealing with assets across states in India or require multi-jurisdictional structuring in places like Singapore or GIFT City, we handle the regulatory complexities so you don't have to.
Preparing the Next Generation
We do more than advise on tax or corporate law. We facilitate the tough conversations required for family constitutions, succession grooming, and governance frameworks. We bridge the gap between founders and the next generation, ensuring that your business vision is protected, managed, and passed on with clarity.
From startup investment advisory to complex cross-border estate planning, our advice is designed to be future-ready. We treat every mandate as a chapter in your family story, not just a transaction.
