Advaita Legal

Advaita Legal is a young mid-sized firm whose core focus is on tax litigation, but its disputes practice has also branched out into the commercial, projects, and infrastructure space.

Case highlights include acting for Renew Solar Power in challenging legislation tied to an investigation for levy of anti-dumping duty on the import of solar cells from Malaysia, China and Taiwan; representing Reliance Industries, British Gas and ONGC against a service tax demand on ‘cost oil’ sold by the consortium; and acting for Bharti Airtel in challenging demands for tax on the installation of advertisements and hoardings in terms of repealed rules.

In the research period the firm hired tax partner and co-founder of Seth Dua & Associates (SDA) Atul Dua and his team, and brought in Vijay Aggarwal as SDA merged into Advaita Legal.

Key clients of the firm include KPMG, Renew Solar Power, Bharti Airtel, Hinduja Ventures, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, Data Core, and Alghanim Industries.

Advaita Legal is a fast growing firm and recently absorbed Seth Dua & Associates after its co-founder Sunil Seth passed away last year. The firm started with five lawyers in 2013 and after recent developments it now has 70 lawyers.
