Trilegal opens dedicated disputes office in Mumbai Fort district
Law firm Trilegal has opened a dedicated disputes office in Mumbai's Fort district, expanding a practice that now accounts for roughly one-fifth of its 161 partners. The launch comes amid a wave of disputes-focused hiring and investment by India's top law firms.
The office is designed to handle commercial litigation and arbitration work, which has grown as corporate disputes in areas including infrastructure and banking have risen. Trilegal did not disclose the size of the new office or its investment in the expansion. The firm is among several Indian law firms that have been strengthening their disputes benches in recent months.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Disputes practices are a key profit centre for Indian law firms, where litigation can account for a third or more of revenue at top-tier partnerships. Trilegal's move to a dedicated Mumbai office signals that commercial litigation and arbitration, especially in high-value corporate and infrastructure disputes, is growing faster than transactional work. The Fort district location places the firm close to the Bombay High Court and the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration, cutting travel time for partners and clients. The next signal to watch is whether Trilegal hires laterally in disputes or promotes from within to fill the 20-plus partner gap implied by a one-fifth share of its total partnership.
