The firm is able to represent in both defence and prosecution, and has expertise across bribery and corruption, fraud, and money laundering cases. Sonam Gupta in New Delhi, who combines great experience in high-stakes litigation with knowledge of internal governance and ethics issues, heads up the practice alongside Mumbai-based Sneha Jaisingh, who has a broad white-collar practice with particular success in cases before the SEBI and SAT. New Delhi-based senior associates Devansh Arya and Saumay Kapoor are also key members of the team, playing a leading role in major cases before state and federal courts.
