Emaar India General Counsel Vikram Sobti has rejoined Chandhiok & Mahajan as the Head of Real Estate practice in Delhi.
An alumnus of Campus Law Centre, Delhi University, Sobti began his legal career at Luthra & Luthra Law Offices and was one of the founding members of Chandhiok & Mahajan, where he helped establish and shape the firm’s Dispute Resolution practice.
In 2023, he transitioned to the corporate side as General Counsel at Emaar India, where he headed the legal function. At Emaar, he oversaw strategic litigation, regulatory engagement, and high-stakes real estate deals, giving him a deep understanding of business needs, operational risk, and legal execution.
Sobti's return marks a significant step in the continued expansion of C&M’s real estate capabilities. He brings a rare blend of experience from both private practice and in-house roles, having led high-value real estate transactions, complex commercial disputes, and regulatory strategy at scale.
Commenting on Sobti's return, Managing Partner, Pooja Mahajan said,
“We are thrilled to welcome Vikram back to the firm. C&M has been involved in a wide range of transactions, disputes, and regulatory investigations in the real estate sector. With Vikram rejoining the firm, we are excited to bring our cross-practice expertise together under an industry-focused approach to better serve our clients.”
Karan S. Chandhiok, Partner and Head of Competition & Regulatory Practice, added,

Vikram has also played a key role in shaping the collaborative culture that defines our firm. His return reinforces our commitment to delivering integrated, industry-focused solutions to our clients.”
Sobti himself shared,
“It’s a privilege to rejoin C&M at a time when the real estate sector is undergoing rapid transformation. Having led legal strategy for one of India’s largest real estate companies, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely on complex transactions, regulatory frameworks, and large-scale dispute resolution. I look forward to leveraging this experience to build a solutions-driven practice that is deeply aligned with client goals and commercial realities.”
