For your first meeting, please bring any documents relevant to your matter — contracts, legal notices, court orders, correspondence, property documents, FIRs, or any other paperwork that relates to your situation. The more context and documentation you can share, the more effectively our advocates can assess your matter.

While our primary offices are in New Delhi, our advocates appear before courts and tribunals across India — including the Supreme Court, various High Courts, and national-level tribunals. Please contact us to discuss whether we can assist with a matter in a different jurisdiction.
In India, an “advocate” is a lawyer enrolled with the Bar Council of India or a State Bar Council and entitled to practise in courts of law. All advocates are lawyers, but not all lawyers practise as advocates before courts. At Laler Giri , our team comprises qualified advocates enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi.
Laler Giri is committed to accessible justice. We consider pro bono and reduced-fee matters on a case-by-case basis, particularly for individuals who demonstrate genuine financial need. Please speak with our team to discuss your specific situation.
Once you reach out, our team will acknowledge your enquiry promptly and schedule an initial consultation at the earliest opportunity.

Yes. We regularly assist clients who wish to transition from another firm or bring in additional counsel on complex matters. Our advocates can review the existing status of your case and advise you on the best course of action going forward.
