Shamshad Siddiqui is a legal professional with a practice that spans civil, criminal, and commercial law. A graduate of Aligarh Muslim University's class of 2023, he brings to his work the kind of range that comes from genuine intellectual curiosity and a willingness to engage with the law across its many dimensions.

His approach to advocacy is grounded in careful thought and precise expression. These are qualities that come naturally to someone who reads and writes poetry. There is a discipline in poetry that mirrors the discipline of law: the search for the right word, the construction of an argument, the weight a single line can carry. Shamshad brings that sensibility into how he thinks and communicates.

Away from his desk, he is drawn to football, both as a spectator and as a player. The game demands strategy, teamwork, and the ability to read a situation as it develops. Not entirely unlike a courtroom.

Still early in his career, Shamshad is building a practice that is as broad as his interests and as focused as his ambitions. He is someone who takes his work seriously without taking himself too seriously, and that balance tends to take people far.

Ms. Khushboo brings a rare combination to her practice. She is both a qualified Company Secretary and a law graduate, and that dual grounding gives her a perspective on corporate legal matters that goes beyond what most litigators carry into a courtroom.

Her practice is focused and technically demanding.

Alongside this, she handles proceedings under the SARFAESI Act and the Companies Act, 2013, covering the full range of corporate and debt enforcement disputes that define this space.
