- For startups and deep tech founders, we advise on compliance and funding hurdles.
- In sports tech, we tackle legal issues tied to assistive technology and AI.
Media & Entertainment: Keeping It Real

My Story
We’re Fox Mandal & Associates, but honestly, we’re just a bunch of folks who care about law, our team, and doing right by our clients. Awards like Legal 500 feel good, sure, but we get more excited about team lunches, watching people grow from associate to partner, and celebrating Diwali or Women’s Day together. Sometimes you’ll catch us talking law on TV or pitching in for music creators. We’re big on Indian values and giving back, not just billing hours.
My Work
All-Round Legal Services - We handle real estate legal advisory, arbitration and ADR specialists, IP rights, corporate M&A, tax, TMT, and more.
Recognised & Trusted - Our team and partners keep getting ranked, but what matters is clients trust us with tough stuff, from NCLT to NCLAT.
People-First Team - We’re proud of our people, their growth, and our open, supportive work vibe across all our offices.
Sharing Knowledge - We speak at events, share legal insights, and run pro bono legal initiatives, like helping out music creators.
