Saga Legal, a multi-service law firm operating out of Delhi and Bangalore, has announced its expansion into Mumbai. Ishwar Ahuja, who has also been promoted as a Partner at the Firm, will be taking charge of growing the Mumbai practice of the firm. With this expansion and promotion, the firm now has a total of four Partners operating out of three offices across the country.
Ishwar Ahuja, an alumnus of Bharati Vidyapeeth who has taken the lead in developing the firm’s Mumbai practice, is a highly skilled legal professional bringing a wealth of experience in arbitration, litigation, regulatory advisory, and corporate-commercial matters. He has successfully represented leading media houses, healthcare corporations, and major news conglomerates in high-stake cases across various forums.
Speaking of expansion into Mumbai and Ishwar’s promotion, Managing Partner Gaurav Nair and Co-Managing Partner Sanika Mehra, commented, “The decision to expand into Mumbai is a strategic move to better serve the growing needs of our clients in the region. As a major financial and commercial hub, Mumbai has always been a critical market for many of our clients, and this expansion will allow us to be more responsive and accessible to their evolving legal and regulatory requirements. With Ishwar at the helm of our Mumbai practice, we are confident that his extensive experience across arbitration, litigation, and corporate-commercial matters will be instrumental in driving our commitment to giving bespoke services to our clients in the region. His promotion to Partner is well-timed with our expansion and we are looking to further strengthen our leadership as we expand nationally – both through organic and inorganic means.”
Ishwar Ahuja, Partner, added, “I am truly grateful for the firm’s trust in me with this promotion, and I am excited to take on the responsibility of leading our Mumbai practice. Mumbai is not only India’s financial capital but also a vital hub for various industries, offering diverse opportunities for growth across sectors such as finance, media, healthcare, and technology. As we establish a strong foothold in this key market, I am excited to collaborate with my fellow Partners to enhance our firm’s capabilities and provide bespoke legal solutions that meet the complex and evolving needs of our clients. I look forward to building on Saga Legal’s reputation for excellence and driving our continued success in this vital region.”
