‘The white-collar crime practice team is well equipped and provides niche solutions.’
‘Mumtaz Bhalla - the Partner of ELP is one of the most promising lawyers I have come across. Her approach is pragmatic and she helps with the right advice to achieve the ultimate objective of any litigation.’
‘I have dealt with many firms but what puts the team apart is their ethics and integrity and the capability to handle a matter end to end. They are not a post office passing on information to individual counsels or senior counsels. They can argue, draft, conduct evidentiary hearings and handle investigation themselves.’
‘I am super impressed with their Mumtaz Bhalla. Mumtaz Bhalla is one of the sharpest brains in the country. Her strategy is always a step ahead and takes into account the practicalities. It is never an arm-chair advice. Having seen her argue matters against senior counsels effectively leading to results, I am not changing my lawyer in this life.’
