Q1. What inspired you to pursue a career in law?
From a young age, I was drawn to the idea of fairness – of standing up for what’s right, even when it’s inconvenient. Law felt like the most structured way to turn that instinct into impact. It offered both the discipline and the power to bring meaningful change.
Q2. What have been the major turning points in your legal career?
There have been many milestones, but what stands out are moments when I had to choose between what’s easy and what’s right. Representing causes that mattered – like environmental protection, public interest matters, and even high-stakes corporate cases -taught me that real success lies in taking responsibility for the outcomes of your work.
Q3. Could you highlight any landmark cases from your journey?
Several come to mind. The airline ‘pee-gate’ case was emotionally and socially complex. The IPL matter required strategic foresight and deep legal insight. The euthanasia case demanded both legal rigor and human sensitivity. I’ve also handled multiple white-collar crime cases that pushed the boundaries of interpretation in corporate law. But the ones I value most are those that brought justice to the voiceless and upheld public interest.
Q4. Have there been any moments that defined your role in the legal ecosystem?
Yes – every time I chose principle over popularity. Whether it was fighting for a cause that didn’t have media attention or mentoring a junior lawyer who needed direction, these decisions defined not just my role but also the values of Jus Law Offices.
Q5. What accolades or associations mark your 25-year journey?
Over the years, I’ve received recognition from both legal and civil bodies, and have been invited to contribute to national discussions on legal reform. My membership and advisory roles in multiple bar associations have helped shape policy perspectives. But more than awards, the trust of my clients and the loyalty of my team mean the most.
Q6. What’s the long-term vision for Jus Law Offices?
To become a benchmark for ethical legal practice in India. We aim to expand while staying rooted in our core values – accessibility, accountability, and advocacy for justice.
Q7. Are there any social causes or legal reforms you are passionate about?
Absolutely. I’m deeply invested in environmental law, judicial accountability, and ensuring access to legal aid for underserved communities. The law should protect the vulnerable, not just the privileged.
Q8. As you enter your 26th year, what are your future goals – both professionally and personally?
Professionally, it’s to strengthen the institution of Jus Law Offices, mentor the next generation, and contribute meaningfully to legal education. Personally, it’s about balance—devoting time to wellness, family, and giving back to society.
Q9. What message would you give to young lawyers today?
Don’t chase titles -chase truth. This profession demands grit, patience, and constant learning. If you stay rooted in ethics, the results will come – so will respect.
Q10. What’s one piece of advice you wish someone had given you early on?
That success in law isn’t about winning every case. It’s about standing your ground when it matters most and walking away from what doesn’t align with your conscience.
Q11. What does legacy mean to you at this stage?
Legacy isn’t about nameplates, it’s about impact. If my work has contributed to a fairer legal system and inspired even a few to pursue law with integrity, that’s a legacy I’m proud of.
Q12. Any closing message for your peers, clients, or the larger legal community?
The law is only as strong as the people who practice it. Let’s keep it courageous, let’s keep it clean and above all, let’s keep it just.
