What I'm looking for

I seek IP litigation roles with substantive courtroom advocacy, complex drafting responsibilities, collaboration with senior counsel, and opportunities for research-led impact.

I am an intellectual property litigation associate with hands-on experience in trademark, copyright and patent disputes, having represented clients before the Delhi High Court, various High Courts and the Supreme Court. I regularly draft and file pleadings, advisory notes, examination report replies and manage trademark portfolios.

I have experience briefing and coordinating with senior counsel on high-stakes IP and commercial matters, and have represented the Union of India in IP litigation. My background includes an LLM in Intellectual Property Law from the University of Edinburgh and multiple research publications on patent and clinical-trials regulation.

I am a proactive problem solver with strong oral advocacy and drafting skills, experienced in contentious high-value litigation, IP enforcement, licensing disputes and pro-bono work, and committed to rigorous legal research and client-focused representation.
