About Corporate & Commercial Law
What Drives My Work
I see corporate and commercial law as much more than paperwork or courtroom drama. For me, it’s about strengthening businesses and making sure justice is never out of reach. I don’t believe in intimidating you with tough legal lingo or hiding behind big words. Instead, I break things down so you actually get what’s happening and why it matters. Har vyakti ko yeh samajhna chahiye ki kanoon uska bhi hai (Everyone should understand that the law is theirs too).
Key Areas I Handle
- Deep experience with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), handling cases at NCLT/NCLAT, and adapting to all the latest changes from regulatory bodies. If your business is facing a tough spot, I offer practical Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code legal advice.
- Company law compliance for businesses, including everything under the Companies Act. I help with company petitions, management issues, and those tricky situations where things get messy internally.
- Commercial dispute resolution strategies that don’t always end in court. I’m a trained arbitrator, so I push for arbitration and mediation to sort things faster. But if litigation becomes a must, I don’t shy away.
- Advice on corporate criminal liability and financial crime, especially when it comes to laws like PMLA or anti-corruption matters. I keep it straightforward so you know your rights if things get complicated.
- Protecting your intellectual property, from patents to your unique ideas.
My Belief
At the core, it’s about making sure hard work is respected and justice isn’t just a slogan. Mehnat ka haq hai, koi cheen nahi sakta (The right to your hard work can’t be taken away). That’s how I approach every case, every client.

My Story
Purpose, that's what drives us. Started from Tis Hazari, now all over India. Still, my day kicks off with coffee, and the office temple keeps us grounded. SRCC roots, always proud. Friends who push you, old-school meals at the temple, and sometimes a pastry—those are the joys between long hours. Life’s not about just clocking years. For us, it’s about making it count, every day, in and out of court.
