New Delhi-based law firm Aekom Legal has announced its expansion to Chandigarh, marking a significant step in the firm's strategic growth across North India. With established strengths in dispute resolution, corporate M&A, real estate, and insolvency, the firm's on-ground presence in the Tricity area (Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula) further strengthens its footprint in North India while deepening client engagement across this key commercial hub.
The Chandigarh office will be led by Mr. Akshay Mittal, Advocate, a third-generation lawyer with over a decade of experience, joining the firm along with his team to lead on-ground operations in the Tricity region.
The firm has maintained consistent client engagements across Chandigarh, Punjab, and Haryana, with regular appearances before key forums including the Punjab & Haryana High Court, NCLT, DRT, RERA, the Regional Director (MCA), OL and Registrar of Companies. This expansion enables Aekom Legal to further institutionalize this presence, respond more efficiently to client needs, and capitalize on growing economic and regulatory activity in the region. Driven by increasing mandates from HNIs, NRIs, and leading business groups, the Chandigarh office will further strengthen the firm's core practice areas including restructuring, M&A, real estate, stamp duty adjudication and dispute resolution practice while delivering seamless local support.
Satwinder Singh, Founder and Managing Partner and NPS Chawla, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Partner Aekom Legal, have issued a joint statement:
“The tricity area of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula represents a critical junction for regulatory, commercial, and real estate activity in North India. Our decision to expand our presence here is driven by the need to be closer to the action. Chandigarh has always been an important jurisdiction for us, both in terms of existing client relationships and emerging opportunities. With a dedicated on-ground presence, we are now in a stronger position to engage more closely with our clients, understand the nuances of their businesses, and deliver timely, effective solutions. The recent administrative restructuring by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) further shows the importance of this region as a growing centre for corporate governance and compliance.”
Akshay Mittal, Head of Chandigarh office of Aekom Legal, added:
“Having worked extensively in the tricity region in Chandigarh and the surrounding jurisdictions, we understand the local market, both from a regulatory and commercial standpoint. The firm's expanded footprint allows for more streamlined handling of matters across key forums while ensuring responsiveness and continuity in client service.”
With an established base in New Delhi, a dedicated Japan Desk, and serving clients across major cities, Aekom Legal continues to expand in alignment with client needs, positioning Chandigarh as a key hub in its growth strategy.
