Nikhil Chauhan

A final-year BBA LL.B. student with a foundation in design and fashion, I specialize in the intersection of creativity and law. With experience in litigation drafting and research, and focused training in IPR practice and legal writing, I bring both legal discipline and creative sensibility to my work. My understanding of aesthetics, branding, and design processes uniquely positions me for roles in intellectual property, fashion law, and creative business advisory. I aim to support designers, brands, and innovators by aligning legal protection with artistic vision and commercial strategy.
