Message

At Excella Business Services Pvt. Ltd., I lead the Legal Practice Line supporting a U.S. law firm. I oversee legal-service workflows and review work product for accuracy, drafting standards and client requirements.

I develop SOPs, workflows, checklists and training materials, while supporting attorneys and legal professionals with matter allocation, quality reviews and professional development.

In my independent legal practice, I advised clients on dispute strategy, legal risks and settlement options, and handled matters including recovery disputes, injunctions and eviction proceedings. I drafted and reviewed pleadings, notices, affidavits and settlement agreements.

As a Panel Advocate / Standing Counsel for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), I represented CBSE in litigation, prepared legal research and arguments, and coordinated with officials on records and court-order compliance. Earlier, at ShapeMotion Media Services Pvt. Ltd., I handled company legal matters alongside business operations and international client coordination.
