Led the Indore and Jabalpur offices of the Chambers, managing a varied practice that spans both contentious and non-contentious work across commercial, regulatory, public and sector-specific areas, including employment, environmental, energy, corporate, trade mark, constitutional and public law. Alongside representing clients in over 70 matters before the Supreme Court, High Courts and specialist tribunals, I regularly advised on contractual arrangements, commercial strategy and disputes. I also supported clients through negotiations and complex decision-making. My work involves drafting a wide range of legal documents, including pleadings, agreements, opinions and contracts. I worked closely with senior counsel and multidisciplinary teams. In addition, I contributed to the development of internal processes and knowledge-sharing within chambers, supported business development efforts, and led pro bono and public interest initiatives focused on improving access to justice and representation.
