The ethos of KLA resonates deeply with the principles on which I built Krishnomics Legal, making it both a natural progression and an easy decision to join hands with Mr. Sakate Khaitan and Ms. Shruti Sodhi in this new chapter.
I am profoundly grateful to all my clients and briefing counsel who have graciously chosen to continue their journey with us. Their trust is both an honour and a responsibility. At KLA, we are now positioned to offer a significantly wider spectrum of legal services, strengthened by the collective wisdom, intelligence, and unwavering commitment of my fellow partners.
