Kochhar & Co.‘s IP practice adopts a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with the firm’s corporate, dispute resolution, and tech practices to represent both national and global clients in a wide scope of IP issues. The practice is led by an experienced trio: registered patent attorney Tarvinder Singh, who focuses on patent drafting, prosecution, and patent portfolio analysis; the Chennai-based Savitha Kesav Jagadeesan, who has deep expertise in trademark and copyright law; and Lynn Lazaro, who has a varied practice and divides her time between Canada and India. Anshuman Sharma is a key member of the team and focuses on IP portfolio management and company name disputes. The team was further enhanced with the arrivals of Gaurav Choubey in April 2025, who has merged his independent IPR practice with the firm, and Amit Kumar Panigrahi in May 2025.
