Advocate on Record, Supreme Court of India | Founding Partner, SDP Triad Law Partners
Seven years of legal practice teaches you something that no law school can: that the law is rarely the problem. The problem is usually the gap between what the law says and what a client needs, and closing that gap requires experience, preparation, and the willingness to think clearly under pressure. That is what I have spent the better part of a decade learning to do.
I graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi. Beyond my legal degree, I hold the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) credential, a globally recognized qualification in data privacy and information law, awarded by the International Association of Privacy Professionals. It reflects an early and continuing interest in the intersection of law and technology, an area that is increasingly relevant to the corporate and commercial work I handle.
Advocate on Record — What It Means
The designation of Advocate on Record before the Supreme Court of India is not a seniority marker or an honorary title. It is a qualification, earned by passing a dedicated examination conducted by the Supreme Court of India, covering procedural law, professional ethics, and the rules of the court. Only an Advocate on Record may file vakalatnamas, lodge matters, and act on behalf of parties before the Supreme Court. It is, in practical terms, the license to practice at the apex level.
My Practice
I am the founding partner of SDP Triad Law Partners, a New Delhi-based law firm with a focused practice in service law and corporate law. The firm was built around a deliberate choice: to do fewer things better, rather than attempt everything at average quality.
My practice divides broadly into litigation and advisory work. On the litigation side, I appear before the Supreme Court of India, the Delhi High Court, the Central Administrative Tribunal, and the Armed Forces Tribunal in service law matters, and before the National Company Law Tribunal and the civil courts in corporate and commercial matters. On the advisory side, I work with businesses on contracts, transactions, and legal strategy, including cross-border work for US-based law firms and companies.
Civil and criminal litigation form the third and fourth pillars of my practice. I handle property disputes, recovery suits, bail applications, criminal revisions, and trial court appearances brought with the same preparation and attention I bring to my primary practice areas.
How I Work
My approach to every matter follows a consistent pattern: understand the facts completely, identify the legal issues precisely, assess what can realistically be achieved, and pursue it with full preparation. I do not overpromise. I do not take on matters I cannot serve well. And I do not delegate without the client's knowledge.
Clients often tell me they appreciate the clarity with which I explain their situation. Law is not meant to be impenetrable, and it is my job to make sure you understand exactly where you stand, what your options are, and what the path forward looks like at every stage of the matter.
