# Senior Advocate Krishna Srinivasan launches KS Law Chambers 2026-08-27T00:08:00+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Senior Advocate Krishna Srinivasan has set up a new law firm, KS Law Chambers, with about 15 associates and six staff members moving with him. The firm will operate under the mentorship of A. L. Somayaji, former Advocate General of Tamil Nadu. Srinivasan, a designated Senior Advocate, will act as advisor and lead litigation, while four partners, Geethi Ara, Chitra Srinivasan, Hemanth Ragu, and Shashi Krishna, will handle day-to-day operations. Srinivasan announced the launch in a statement on Wednesday, confirming that the associates and staff have already migrated to the new chambers. The firm is based in Chennai and will focus on litigation under his guidance. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Krishna Srinivasan has been a leading figure in the Madras High Court, often appearing in high-profile constitutional and commercial cases. The formation of KS Law Chambers follows a pattern seen among top litigators who leave established firms to launch independent practices, allowing them greater autonomy and direct control over client strategy. The mentorship of A. L. Somayaji, a former Advocate General with decades of experience, adds institutional credibility and could help the firm attract government and public sector briefs. With four partners and a core team of over 15 advocates, the chambers is positioned to handle a significant caseload from the start. The immediate question is how much of Srinivasan's existing clientele will follow him to the new firm, which will influence its standing in the competitive legal market of Chennai. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Leads with the factual announcement and a direct quote, no evaluative framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
