Featured Legal Strategy and Advocacy Work
A look at my core practice areas, from managing high-stakes corporate crises to navigating complex Supreme Court litigation.
This cover from Business Today recognizes my work among India's Most Powerful Women. I believe true power in my field comes from a relentless focus on constitutional justice and delivering tangible results for my clients, whether in the courtroom or the boardroom.
Presenting my core strategies for success in commercial litigation at the Economic Times Conclave. My approach is always to serve the business's bottom line, using expertise in diverse areas like IBC or RERA to find the most direct path to resolution, rather than pursuing lengthy, costly legal arguments.
In today's landscape, protecting legally privileged information is paramount. I advise clients on the critical importance of strong encryption to safeguard against government surveillance and corporate espionage, ensuring that our legal strategies and sensitive business data remain confidential.
The AIB Roast case was a clear lesson in crisis management. A seemingly minor issue can quickly escalate into a registered FIR with the threat of arrest. My experience shows that the first step is always to understand the longevity of a legal threat versus the short life of a news cycle.
Here, I am contributing to a Supreme Court initiative to expedite justice by settling cases. My philosophy is clear: protracted litigation drains corporate resources. When a just and commercially viable settlement is possible, I advocate for it vigorously as the most efficient path forward.
I contributed a chapter on "Arbitrating for the Environment" to this definitive guide on Arbitration in India. I argue that commercial arbitration can be a swift and effective tool for resolving complex environmental torts, holding corporations accountable while avoiding years of expensive court battles.
Participating in a national debate on Times Now regarding the prosecution of Arundhati Roy under UAPA. A key part of corporate crisis management is shaping the public narrative and dissecting the legal facts from the media noise, which I do regularly as a legal commentator.

About Featured
When you look through these highlights, you are seeing the result of a strategy that balances business reality with strict legal precision. Whether I am managing a sudden media crisis, arbitrating a commercial dispute, or arguing in the Supreme Court, my focus remains the same, finding the fastest, most effective route to resolution. Long court battles are often just an expensive, unnecessary drama, and my work is designed to help you avoid them.
My practice is built on a simple premise: law is not just about abstract rules, but about real outcomes for your business. The work you see here spans several years of high-stakes advocacy, including:
Crisis and Reputation Management
When FIRs are filed or media noise threatens your share price, the goal is not to win an argument, but to protect your company's survival. I have managed corporate liability defense for mass torts and environmental issues, ensuring that press releases and internal memos do not become liabilities in court.
Commercial Arbitration and Settlement
Protracted litigation drains resources. I actively push for commercial arbitration and mediation when it makes sense. I have authored chapters on arbitrating environmental torts and actively sit on benches to expedite justice. If a case can be settled effectively, I will argue for that settlement.
Constitutional and High-Stakes Litigation
I maintain a consistent practice in the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court. This includes constitutional rights advocacy, gender justice litigation, and media freedom defense. This, combined with my commercial work, gives me a unique perspective on how constitutional protections intersect with corporate law, providing a wider range of options for my clients.
My approach relies on strong encryption for all client communications, ensuring that your corporate secrets remain privileged. Whether we are quashing a criminal complaint or structuring a complex dispute resolution, the strategy is always tailored to your commercial goals.
