Jhunjhunwala Legal (JJL) has announced its launch as a business-oriented, multi-service law firm advising founders, entrepreneurs, startups, investors and growing businesses on legal matters connected with their operations and growth.
About Jhunjhunwala Legal
Jhunjhunwala Legal has been launched with a focus on integrating legal advice with an understanding of the commercial objectives of the businesses it advises. The firm’s work is intended to cover different stages of the business lifecycle, from formation and structuring to transactions, contracting, compliance, governance and dispute resolution.
The firm is led by Samarth Jhunjhunwala, Founder and Managing Partner, and begins operations with a founding team of four members. It is also supported by a network of senior counsels across sectors and industry veterans serving as advisors.
Practice Areas
Jhunjhunwala Legal’s practice covers:
- Corporate & Commercial Law
- Startup, Founder & Investor Advisory
- Fundraising & Transactional Advisory
- Commercial Contracts & Agreements
- Intellectual Property
- Technology & Data Privacy
The firm’s broader work also extends to regulatory compliance, governance and dispute resolution.
Business-Focused Legal Approach
According to the firm’s launch statement, JJL’s approach is centred on understanding the business objective before advising on the legal route to achieve it.
The firm emphasises that business decisions are interconnected. A contract can influence a commercial relationship, a funding decision can affect governance, a regulatory issue can have implications for a transaction, and a dispute can directly affect the business.
This approach forms the basis of the firm’s stated philosophy that legal counsel should function as part of a business’s infrastructure rather than as an interruption to its operations.
From Backbone Counsels to Jhunjhunwala Legal
The launch also marks the transition and evolution of Backbone Counsels, the independent legal practice through which Samarth Jhunjhunwala had earlier advised founders and growing businesses.
The experience and relationships developed through that practice have been carried forward into Jhunjhunwala Legal, with the firm expanding its scope while retaining its business-first approach.
The firm’s stated philosophy is reflected in its tagline:
“Law That Moves Business Forward.”
Jhunjhunwala Legal — Ahead from Day One.
