Founded in 2004 by Mohit Kapoor and Apurva Agarwal, we are a first-generation full-service law firm. As business lawyers who have served a cross-section of clients in India and around the world, we have found that businesses of this age need a more business-oriented approach from their legal service providers. With increasing pressure to innovate, companies are looking for efficient and lean business processes that promote agility, engagement, quality, creativity and efficiency. Universal Legal was created under this premise. Ms. Sameena Chatrapathy completed her undergraduate studies with an honorary degree in Arts and Law from the School of Excellence in Law, Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Chennai, and obtained her Master`s degree in International Commercial Law in the United Kingdom. She was one of the top academics throughout her five years of legal training, graduating with honors.
She joined the Chennai office in 2006 and has been working with IC Universal Legal ever since. In 6 years at IC Universal Legal, she was promoted to associate at an early age. IC Universal Legal prides itself on its geographical reach, not only in India, but worldwide. IC Universal Legal is also affiliated with Chugh LLP, a full-service law firm and certified accounting firm represented in various states of the United States of America. Through this union, the firm leverages its cross-border expertise to develop an experienced and quality legal delivery service that meets the business needs of all its valued clients. The office was founded with the vision of building a credible practice that systematically and qualitatively focuses on working outside of litigation, providing clients with timely legal services and business solutions that matter. Ms. Kavitha Vijay and Ms. Sameena Chatrapathy have been associated with only 3 members since the establishment of the office in Chennai. During the formative years, his work consisted mainly of advising IT and ITES companies on their day-to-day corporate law requirements, focusing on their work as in-house consultants. Thanks to the associations established during this period, they have been able to create a solid foundation and experience to develop a cross-sector specialization that leads to the transactional work they are very proud of as a law firm. Our hands-on approach is to provide practical advice and support to clients who wish to do business in the Indian market.
Our ambition is to simplify the demanding process of understanding the complex legal and regulatory environment in India. Our staff keeps abreast of the latest developments in law by participating in our legal education programs, seminars and conferences. The Chennai office provides legal services in various areas of law other than litigation and tax. In its early days, the practice was focused on corporate and contract law, but over the years, the expansion of the team with interests in different practices and the requirements of clients seeking support in new horizons has increased their ability to constantly grow and expand the practice, making it now a full-service commercial law firm. We and our clients find Universal Legal to provide up-to-date practical legal advice regarding the establishment and operation of overseas offices in India. Our clients appreciate their responsiveness and added value in doing business in India. They are constantly evaluating the development of additional business areas that would enable them to meet their clients` overall legal requirements and that would also contribute to the growth of IC Universal Legal. In addition, they continue to focus on growing each team member, at any level, in terms of potential, confidence and skills, and they look forward to leveraging it to work with clients on more challenging and complex tasks.
Our lawyers are competently supported by a team of paralegals, clerks and administrative staff. IC Universal Legal started operations with its first office in Bangalore in 2004 and subsequently established offices in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. In September 2017, Universal Legal merged with IC Legal of Mumbai, giving the firm a very strong presence and deep ties in Mumbai. Although Universal Legal`s regional presence in South India brings significant additional strength to IC Legal as a merged company, clients now have access to approximately 120 lawyers with 15 partners. When the law firm works on a transaction, the strategy is always aimed at contributing to the interest of the transaction, without, of course, jeopardizing the interests of the valued client and completing the transaction in a practical and efficient manner, which in most cases has led him to leave the transaction with a new client and a new introduction. This was the company`s most effective growth strategy. +91-22-22824292, +91-22-22824293, +91-22-22824294, +91-22-22824295 1-12 Ground Floor, Onlooker Building, Opp. Axis Bank, P.M.

Our organization is based on business-friendly practices. We are sure that an outfit with motivated professionals is more effective than a hierarchical outfit that promotes titles and internal competition. We believe that by promoting teamwork, we increase the quality and efficiency of our services. 5th Floor, Phoenix Pinnacle #46, Ulsoor Road Bengaluru – 560,042 There are countless challenges IC Universal Legal has faced during the 13+ year journey since its inception in Chennai to grow the office from a team of 2 in a small office to a 30+ team in a prime location in the city, where you are now.
