LAW FIRM
To Watch In 2019
Corp Comm Legal
Adynamic economy and
commercial environment in
India are keeping the
corporates on their toes. They must be
adaptive to the changing laws which
are influenced by various
Governmental, economic and
competitive needs. As such, they need
a law firm that understands their
business needs and provides legal
advisory that is relevant, solutiondriven
and value for money. Focusing
on these needs of domestic and
international corporates is Corp
Comm Legal. It provides legal advice
inter alia on M&A, Joint Ventures,
Technology Transfers, Private Equity,
Venture Capital, Commercial
Litigation, IPR registration and
protection, compliances, due diligence
and more.
Treading a Different Path
While there is no dearth of corporate
law firms, what sets Corp Comm
Legal apart is the assurance that it
offers to clients. The clients who ask
for its services are assured of the
timing, quality and pricing of the
services. Each one of these three
elements is very necessary and has to
work in tandem. Even if one is
missing, the other two are of no use.
Corp Comm Legal offers virtually all
legal services which big law firms
provide – however, at a fraction of the
cost associated with the big firms.
Clients get to actually work with the
“Our vision
is to be the
law firm of
the first
choice for
our clients”
professionals they want to work with
and don’t have to pay the price for the
brand name, old age of the firm,
marketing costs, etc.
But being different is never easy and
comes with challenges. A firm like
Corp Comm often has to compromise
in terms of manpower as Big firms
have the clout, financial resources and
may indulge in predatory pricing to
capture most of the big business. But
in a booming economy like India,
there is space for all sizes of
organisations. This works for law
firms as well and many boutique law
firms are doing very well.
To counter these challenges, Corp
Comm is engaging with other small
and midsize firms within India and
globally for better coordination and
level playing field. Global Business
Lawyers’ League has been its first
endeavor in this regard and it is trying
to replicate the same model in India
too.

lawyer of International repute,
Bhumesh has had the privilege of

firms for about 23 years. 2 years back,
he took a leap of faith and started
