The firm is now led by two equity partners, Jain and senior partner Ish Jain, and they head up a team of 40 lawyers. The firm’s main pillar remains dispute resolution, but it has also branched out into other areas such as corporate advisory, real estate, aviation and space law, art and sports law, maritime law and project financing.
