AZB & Partners‘s litigation department is geared towards high-stakes strategic litigation in the civil, commercial, criminal, and constitutional arenas, advising major domestic and multinational clients. The team’s portfolio of mandates is distinctly varied, including regulatory, shareholder, transactional, corporate, and white-collar criminal disputes across a range of industries. Rajendra Barot and Vijayendra Pratap Singh co-lead the department from the Mumbai and Delhi offices respectively, with Barot’s 25 years of experience in shareholder, regulatory, and other commercial disputes complementing Singh’s abilities in general commercial and privacy litigation, alongside cross-border mandates. Priyanka Shetty is a favoured option for clients seeking expertise in arbitration-related and white-collar criminal disputes, while Abhijnan Jha handles various shareholder and enforcement disputes.
