About

I am a rank-holder Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary and Lawyer with 15+ years of rich experience in dispute resolution, tax, finance, audits, risk, statutory compliance, contract drafting, general corporate, new age issues (such as POSH advisory, employment matters and AI related IPR challenges) and finally the emerging field of Family and Matrimonial Law with a strong focus on mediation based outcomes. I bring the unique ability to understand the real controversy in a legal matter, do in-depth legal research [on the settled principles of law and binding precedents laid down by the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, Tribunals and the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS)]; preparation of quality drafts and providing realistic solutions to ensure high levels of Client satisfaction within reasonable and fair billing structure. I represent Clients in diverse matters before various Courts and Tribunals across Delhi-NCR independently and via Senior Counsel after briefing them. Additionally, I also provide legal opinions/pre Litigation Advice for contentious issues and help Clients formulate the broad legal strategy as to whether to preferably mediate or litigate (including arbitration). The litigation part ensues drafting impactful legal notices to the erring parties which forms a strong basis for the lawsuits and petitions filed subsequently, if necessary. Inherently, I am a self-starter with the knack of getting results delivered often within challenging timelines and I stay committed to meeting Client goals, whether on an organizational or an individual level. Plus I have the added advantage of being well-networked within the who's who of legal fraternity, local police and Court staff in Delhi-NCR. Member of the following prestigious Bar Associations:1. Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA)2. Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA)3. New Delhi Bar Association (Patiala House Courts - having jurisdiction over Central aka Lutyens' Delhi and a Courthouse dealing with some of the most sensitive and high stakes civil, criminal and matrimonial matters in Delhi). Email me at rahul.aggarwal.law [AT] gmail.com for any professional (or music) related communication! :) --- My passions include music i.e. singing, playing guitar/piano and writing my own songs besides singing timeless songs through my renditions of them. Additionally, I love reading (and reviewing) books that are insightful.
