Prior to establishing NARA Law, Narendra was a Senior Associate at a prominent corporate law firm affiliated to one of the largest law firms in the world where he had a major role as the leading strategist in numerous sophisticated commercial disputes in the fields of banking, employment, transportation, anti-corruption, information-technology, entertainment, aviation, taxation, agriculture, construction, bankruptcy and suspension of debt payments.

Narendra’s strong background as a reputable all-around commercial litigator plays a critical role in safeguarding his clients’ interest and business objectives throughout the preparation and execution stages or phases of their businesses and transactions by equipping them with a crystal-clear perspective of a lawyer, the judges, and the regulator(s) to identify, manage, prevent and address the relevant legal risks and hurdles, potential disputes and non-compliance.
