Hi, I’m

Associate With The Additional Standing Counsel For Govt Of NCT Of Delhi.
New Delhi
Gaurav  Sahgal

Summary

A highly motivated and detail-oriented law graduate from Symbiosis Law School, Nagpur, with a strong passion for corporate law, mergers & acquisitions, insolvency & restructuring, intellectual property law, litigation, and dispute resolution. My academic journey, complemented by diverse internships at esteemed law firms and under experienced advocates, has provided me with a solid foundation in corporate transactions, regulatory compliance, arbitration, and litigation strategies.

I have actively worked on corporate mergers and acquisitions, insolvency matters under IBC, SARFAESI Act, FEMA regulations, civil and commercial litigation, arbitration, and consumer protection laws. My experience at Legal Tempo enriched my understanding of intellectual property law, trademarks, and copyrights, while my tenure at a Bombay High Court advocate’s chamber provided valuable exposure to high-stakes litigation.

Possessing strong legal research, drafting, and client interaction skills, I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic legal team in the corporate and dispute resolution domain.
