IP boutique firm Fidus Law Chambers opened its first office outside the NCR region, in the Bandra-Kurla Complex in Mumbai this month.

Shreya Ganguly, Managing Associate, who has been with the firm for 8 years, and practices Trademark, Copyright and Designs law, will be currently heading the office.

Commenting on this development, the firm’s Managing Partner, Shwetasree Majumder, noted,

“An office in Mumbai was long overdue, on account of the increase in our litigation matters in the High Court of Bombay, as also the number of Mumbai-based corporate clients who we represent. Shreya is a trustworthy colleague and when personal reasons compelled her to consider moving to Mumbai, it seemed almost serendipitous. We have always believed in organic growth and look forward to the next stage in this trajectory.”

Commenting on the move, Ganguly said,

“It means a lot when your firm has faith in you and is willing to entrust you with such a big responsibility, that of running an office in another city. While I always had the option of telecommuting (which has been normalized in Fidus long before the pandemic), setting up an office means that my colleagues who come here regularly will also have a space to work out of, and clients are able to visit as well. The We Work building in BKC is so state of the art and modern that it was the most obvious choice, by way of location and facilities.”

Established in 2008, Fidus Law Chambers has swiftly emerged as a top tier IP boutique, whose litigation and prosecution practices are well regarded. The firm has been feted by the World Trademark Review as “a repository of trust when it comes to high-stakes IP litigations”. The Firm currently has a team strength of 54, with 26 of them being lawyers.
