Universal Legal Advocates > Firm Profile
Founded in 2004 by Mohit Kapoor and Apurva Agarwal, we are a first-generation, full-service law firm. As commercial lawyers, having serviced a cross-section of clients both Indian and global, we sensed that companies of this age required their legal service providers to have a more business-driven approach. With ever-rising stress on innovation, companies have been looking to establish efficient and lean business processes that foster agility, commitment, quality, creativity, and efficiency. Universal Legal came into existence on this premise.
With an office in Mumbai and associates across India, London, New York, Boston, San Francisco, China, Singapore, Dubai, Russia and Europe, we have structured our firm in a way that allows us to be completely dedicated to our clients, with the agility and dynamism that businesses of today seek. We take the time to get to know our clients and their goals and go the extra mile to get the job done while ensuring that legal obstacles do not get in the way of client’s achieving their business objectives. This is why we also like to refer to ourselves as “business lawyers”.
Our specialized services can be broadly segmented into four categories; Corporate including joint venture, merger & acquisitions, foreign investment, private equity, general corporate & commercial, employment, legal compliance management, intellectual property, and information technology; Real Estate including hospitality, commercial and residential projects, Disputes including litigation, arbitration and white-collar crimes; and Private client including trusts, wills and estates.
We are also the only Indian member of Legal Network International (LNI), which is a non-exclusive network of leading law firms in over 50 countries covering more than 60 jurisdictions around the world.
