Anand and Anand has a formidable reputation in the IP sector, and the team advises a range of clients in the tech, pharma, automotive, and hospitality sectors on the full range of IP issues, including AI and emerging technologies. The team is led by an experienced trio: industry veteran Pravin Anand, who leads the litigation practice and has extensive experience in patent lawsuits; Archana Shanker, who heads the patents and designs team; and Safir Anand, who spearheads the trademark, commercial, and contractual IP department. The New Delhi-based Vaishali Mittal has significant expertise in advising and representing clients in high-profile litigation before the Supreme Court of India, while Dhruv Anand advises pharma and life sciences clients on copyright enforcement. The team was further strengthened with the arrival of IP litigation and strategy partner Lakshmidevi Somanath in August 2024.
