HSA Advocates has re-hired disputes lawyer Kanika Chugh as associate partner in Delhi, after Chugh had left in 2017 to work with her husband in his law firm SKV Law Offices.

The 2009 ILS Pune graduate had worked at Trilegal from 2011, after a Master’s degree in Warwick, moving to HSA in 2014.

She specialises in the following, according to the press release:

a broad-based dispute practice focussing on energy, aviation and environment sector. She regularly appears before diverse State Electricity Commissions, APTEL, CERC, and the National Green Tribunal. She has handled commercial litigation matters before the High Courts, Company Law Board and the Supreme Court. She has represented numerous private and public utilities on diverse legal and regulatory issues, particularly pertaining to projects and power sector.

This grows HSA’s disputes, regulatory and policy practice to 15 partners.

We had reached out to Chugh for comment two weeks ago.

As we had reported last week, J Sagar Associates (JSA) senior associate Puja Priyadarshini will also be re-joining the firm as an associate partner.
