Thursday, May 7, 2026 | New Delhi Nishant Nigam has announced the rebranding of his practice under the name 3Sixty Law Group, marking an expansion into a multidisciplinary legal and consulting platform. His team and the existing client relationships will move from the erstwhile firm, Goswami & Nigam, which stands dissolved, as its founding partners have chosen to pursue their professional ambitions independently. The name 3Sixty Law Group reflects a clear and forward-looking vision – to offer a truly comprehensive, all-encompassing suite of services spanning law, strategy, and consulting. Conceived as more than a traditional legal practice, the firm aims to evolve into a platform where clients can access legal, strategic, and advisory services through a single, coordinated practice. With the legal landscape increasingly intersecting with business, policy, and strategic advisory, 3Sixty Law Group is built on the belief that clients benefit most from well-rounded, multidisciplinary support. The firm also looks ahead to meaningful collaborations with professionals across domains, with the long-term goal of creating a robust ecosystem of expertise. While the firm is envisioned as a specialised multi-service platform, Nishant will initially focus on his core areas of practice, including commercial arbitration and litigation with an additional focus on labour, employment and industrial relations, and intellectual property enforcement. Senior team members will take the lead on Corporate Advisory, Real Estate, and Data Protection practice areas. Over time, 3Sixty Law Group aims to diversify its offerings across additional practice areas, further strengthening the firm’s full-service capabilities. The firm also maintains an active cross-border practice, with a presence across India and Dubai. Speaking on the new journey and rebranding, Nishant Nigam shared, “3Sixty is not just a name – it represents a philosophy. It stands for completeness, continuity, and perspective. The idea is to approach every client mandate with a 360-degree view, ensuring that legal advice is not given in isolation but is aligned with larger strategic outcomes.” Speaking on the transition, he added, “Co-building our previous practice was an immensely fulfilling journey, and I remain grateful for the trust, effort, and shared vision that went into it. Over time, we felt that the moment was right to focus on our respective paths and grow our practices independently. We continue to wish each other well, and look forward to collaborating at the right place and time.”   About Nishant Nigam Nishant Nigam is a seasoned legal practitioner with a strong focus on commercial arbitration, litigation, and strategic advisory.

India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (“MeitY”) has recently proposed the establishment of the Online Gaming Authority of India (the “Authority”) under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, thereby seeking to create a dedicated national regulator for the sector for the first time.  Last year, the Indian government prohibited the offering, operation, facilitation, advertisement or promotion of online money games, along with financial transactions.  However, e-sports and online social games have been permitted. The Authority will, among others, determine whether a title qualifies as an online money game, maintain a National Online Social Games and E-sports Registry, and issue binding codes of practice.  It will operate as a digital-first body with headquarters in the National Capital Region (New Delhi). Key implications: E-sports given formal recognition as a distinct skill-based category by separating them from money games. Early-stage gaming startups gain meaningful regulatory clarity which should enable them to fund raise. Investors and global brands can approach the Authority (once established) for grievance redressal and compliance-related matters. Open questions remain around the financial treatment of e-sports earnings, formal team registration pathways and player protection, as the framework is still evolving.  Nevertheless, the signal from the government is clear, i.e., growth of e-sports will be encouraged, but only within a framework that prioritizes accountability and consumer safeguards.
