Singh & Singh And Lall & Sethi Will Merge
11 March 2015
Leading Indian IP practices Singh & Singh and Lall & Sethi will merge effective April 1. The news was first reported by Indian legal journal Bar & Bench. The new firm will reportedly be called Singh & Singh Lall & Sethi.
Singh & Singh was formed in 1997 by Maninder Singh and Prathiba M Singh, who are now both senior advocates. Lall & Sethi, established by Chander Lall, has four other partners.
Lall told Bar & Bench that the combined firm will “have the perfect synergy. Each of us has its own strengths and weaknesses. We are very strong in international markets as far as trademark and copyrights are concerned while Singh & Singh is strong in the same areas in the domestic market. With this merger, the new firm can now handle both IP litigation and prosecution.”
The combined firm will have nine partners and 26 lawyers.
