Professional Profile
Business fluency meets courtroom precision
I spent 25 years managing the numbers, operations and compliance of chemical manufacturing businesses before earning my law degrees and enrolling as an advocate. That background shapes how I practise today — I understand balance sheets, audit reports and regulatory filings the way few litigators do, and I explain legal positions in plain, practical language.
My practice draws on an LL.M in Environmental Law, an LL.B from Sardar Patel University, and deep expertise in India's new criminal law trilogy — BNS, BNSS & BSA (2023). As an appointed member of GERC's Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum and Ombudsman mechanism, I also bring first-hand regulatory experience to consumer and utility disputes.
