Testimonials
Harish Mysore, a senior director at IEEE India Operations, has worked with the law firm for a decade. “I always felt the entire team worked very professionally and found them to be very knowledgeable,” says Mysore. “When the POSH laws were enacted in India, [senior partner] Shilpa Shah provided a very good assessment and helped IEEE to formulate our own internal policies,” he adds.
Deepal Hoda, a senior manager at C&C Constructions, praises partner Vikas Goel for his “positive, prompt and absolutely logical approach” with regard to disputes. “He explains the merits and demerits of a claim upfront and tries to complete a matter as soon as possible,” says Hoda.
Nikhil Chauhan, legal manager and company secretary at McGraw Hill Education India, has used the firm for corporate law, litigation, arbitration, labour law and IP and is “extremely happy and satisfied”. He was inspired by the firm’s ability to arrange a local counsel at short notice during the pandemic. “We had somehow skipped a notice from a court for a hearing against us in another city, and the date of the hearing was the very next morning,” says Chauhan. “I got in touch with the S&P litigation team at 10:30pm … they arranged a local counsel and we were all set for the hearing by 11:30pm, and the hearing went as required. I was mighty impressed with the connections they have and also the help they are ready to extend in such difficult and urgent times.”
“Singhania & Partners was directly on hand and actively supported us to prevent the outflow of value.” The client commends in particular partners Arjun Anand and Rohit Jain. “Both have a very quick grasp, work highly professionally and are 100% reliable.”
