Who We Are

The Firm traces its origins to the independent practice of Prit Shah and Nidhi Shah, Advocates, established in 2025, though the seeds of this practice were sown much earlier-in 1981, when Umeshkumar Shah-Advocate first began practising as an advocate.

The name Rakshaniti reflects the very values on which the Firm was built. Derived from the Sanskrit words Raksha, meaning protection, and Niti, meaning principle or purpose, it embodies our commitment to protecting our clients' rights at any cost, while approaching every matter with honesty, integrity, clarity and purpose.

The Firm is a full-service law firm, with core expertise in Commercial and Corporate Litigation, GST Litigation, Real Estate and Property Disputes, Arbitration, and Retainership Advisory. The Firm also specialises in Intellectual Property Rights, including the registration and protection of trademarks, copyrights and patents.

At Rakshaniti, we understand that behind every legal matter is a person, a family or a business placing its trust in us - a trust we value deeply.

We view every challenge as an opportunity. With relentless energy and steadfast integrity, we are committed to excellence in everything we do. Our growth is inseparable from the success of our people and our clients, and together, we move forward with purpose.

Our team of accomplished and experienced lawyers brings a blend of entrepreneurial insight and shared values, united in our commitment to delivering the highest standards of service with professionalism and responsiveness.
