SC&A Legal expands to Delhi with Devangshu Lahiry at the helm

SC&A Legal has announced the expansion of its operations in New Delhi, marking a significant milestone in the firm's growth journey.

The Delhi office will enable the firm to work more closely with clients, regulators, tribunals, and courts, while strengthening its ability to handle complex, multi-jurisdictional matters.

The Delhi practice will be headed by Devangshu Lahiry, who has extensive experience in dispute resolution, commercial litigation, and advisory matters. His appointment is expected to further bolster the Firm's capabilities in servicing clients across sectors and jurisdictions.

Commenting on the expansion, Sanchari Chakroborty, Founder and Managing Partner, SC&A Legal, said,

"The expansion into Delhi represents a natural progression in SC&A Legal's growth strategy. Delhi is not only a significant legal hub but also a centre for regulatory, commercial, and policy-related decision-making. Establishing a stronger presence here allows us to be closer to our clients, deepen our engagement with stakeholders, and enhance our ability to deliver timely and effective legal solutions. As businesses increasingly operate across jurisdictions, we believe this expansion will further strengthen our ability to support clients in navigating complex legal and commercial challenges."

Speaking on the opportunity to lead the Delhi office, Devangshu Lahiry, Head – Delhi Practice, SC&A Legal, said,

"I am honoured to lead SC&A Legal’s Delhi practice at a time when the legal and regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly and businesses require increasingly sophisticated legal support. Delhi stands at the intersection of litigation, regulation, policy, and commerce, making it a critical jurisdiction for clients operating across industries.

Our vision is to build a practice that is recognised for excellence in dispute resolution, commercial litigation, arbitration, insolvency-related matters, and strategic legal advisory services. We will focus on providing clients with solutions that are not only legally sound but also commercially effective, enabling them to address challenges and seize opportunities with confidence.

The expansion reflects SC&A Legal’s long-term commitment to strengthening its national footprint while preserving the partner-led, client-centric approach that defines the firm. I look forward to leading a practice that combines high-quality advocacy, strategic thinking, and deep client engagement, while contributing meaningfully to the firm’s next phase of growth."

As part of this broader growth and brand-building exercise, SC&A Legal has been working closely with Shubham Malhotra, Founder of LawStrings Management, a legal sector-focused management and consulting firm, to support its branding, visibility, and business development initiatives. The collaboration is focused on strengthening the firm's market positioning, showcasing its expertise across key practice areas, and creating meaningful opportunities for engagement with clients, industry stakeholders, and the broader legal community.
