THE FIRM

About
Litigra is a litigation and advisory practice based in Chandigarh, with operations in Delhi. The firm was founded in 2016 to bring together experienced practitioners across dispute resolution and legal advisory work.
The name is a portmanteau of “litigation” and “grail”. It reflects the firm’s founding conviction: that principled, thorough advocacy is not merely a professional obligation but a pursuit worth dedicating a practice to.

Approach
Every engagement is treated as distinct. The firm’s work is shaped by the facts and circumstances of each matter, not by templates or standardised playbooks. This means combining careful legal research with practical courtroom strategy, and adapting as proceedings develop.
The firm values clarity in its advice and economy in its arguments. Matters are staffed to ensure that the advocates who prepare a case are the ones who argue it.
Commitment
Litigra recognises the significance of the trust clients place in their counsel. The firm is committed to transparent communication, realistic assessments, and consistent availability throughout the course of a matter.
The objective in every engagement is not limited to a favourable outcome. It extends to ensuring that clients understand their position, the risks involved, and the reasoning behind each step taken on their behalf.
Vision
The firm was conceived with a longer view of legal practice. Effective representation does not begin when a dispute arises. It begins with sound structuring, careful documentation, and advice that anticipates rather than merely responds to legal risk.
Litigra is committed to building a practice where litigation skill and advisory foresight work together, so that clients are as well prepared before disputes as they are well represented during them.
Team
The firm’s practitioners bring together decades of collective legal experience, having held roles as Additional Advocate General and Deputy Advocate General, served as standing counsel for statutory bodies, and practised across the Supreme Court, High Courts, NCLT, NCLAT, and various tribunals.
