Advocate · Attorney · Writer
I'm an advocate and attorney — admitted to practice in India and New York, with an LL.M. from Columbia — practising commercial litigation, arbitration and real estate.
I follow technology closely, and write about its legal side: data, regulation, and the constitutional questions that come with it.
What I do
I act for Indian and international clients — from start-ups to developers and foreign parties — in the disputes and deals where the details decide the outcome.
Civil, commercial and constitutional disputes — from the first notice to the last appeal.
Domestic and international, mostly in mining, infrastructure, construction and real estate.
Development agreements, leases, joint development, and buying and selling development-grade land.
Structuring for land and investment, shareholder disputes, share transfers, succession and company compliances.
Experience
From the writing
From an 1892 court case about a smoke ball that promised to cure the flu, to Patanjali — the long, strange history of selling cures that don't work.
