Former HSA Advocates partners Sakya Chaudhuri, Avijeet Lala and Anand Shrivastava’s Delhi start-up Neeti Niyaman has expanded to Mumbai with the opening of a new office in Fort.

The Mumbai office would help in better serving the firm’s existing clients, the firm told us, with all three founding partners set to spend time there between each other, going forward.

The office is on Dr DN Road in Flora Fountain, close to the high court, and will seat three of the firm’s relocated associates and counsel Vaidehi Naik, who joined this month from HSA, where she was an associate partner.

Naik is a 2009 GLC Mumbai graduate who had begun her career at Singhania & Partners and had spent four years at Phoenix Legal between 2010 and 2014 before joining HSA, where she made associate partner in April 2017.

HSA managing partner Amitabh Sharma commented: “We wish Vaidehi all the very best for her future endeavours.”

Neeti Niyaman, which started up in Delhi in April 2017 as a regulatory, disputes and real estate practice of eight lawyers, had grown to 13 lawyers in a month and now has 15 lawyers including the three founding partners.
