About Litigation & Court Representation
Why I Chose the Courtroom
Honestly, I never thought I'd end up here, especially with law running in the family. But after starting Ma'at Advisors from a desk at home, I realised this is where I belong. The courtroom isn't just a job - it's where things feel real and unpredictable, and that's what keeps me hooked.
My Approach to Litigation
Litigation is a daily hustle. Sometimes I'm sprinting to court, sometimes just waiting hours for a matter to be called. Wins are great, but I've learned the most from tough losses. I treat every client's case as my own - I won't sugarcoat the process, but I'm there for the fight.
- I handle every step myself, from deep-dive research to drafting petitions and filing applications.
- In court (physical ya virtual, dono mein), my focus is on clear, sharp arguments that cut through the noise.
- I make it a point to explain the law in simple terms so you know exactly what’s happening - koi confusion nahi (no confusion).
What I’ve Done
- Handled Supreme Court case representation, including landmark constitutional battles like Harbhajan Singh v. State of Haryana.
- Won refunds and fought big names, like getting orders against the Sahara Group directors.
- Dealt with High Court property dispute cases, especially under Delhi Land Reforms Act.
What I Focus On
- Civil litigation expertise
- Corporate and land disputes
- Constitutional law matters
Courtroom life isn't glamorous, but it's honest work - and I'm here for every bit of it.

My Story
Funny how life works. Swore I’d dodge law, with my granddad the judge and all, but here I am. The courtroom buzz, that old courthouse where dad dropped me off, it’s home now. I found my groove in fashion law, mixing my love for design with legal work. Started Ma’at Advisors mid-lockdown, just me and a laptop. Five years later, some big wins, some real tough days, but grateful for every bit. Still learning, still loving it.
