Verist Law was founded in 2014 by Srishti Ojha with exactly one associate. This was in the height of the second dot-com boom in India- times that created learning opportunities for the more cautious and informed world of today.
In a post-pandemic world, we have reframed our relevance and integrated for a changed world.
We are prioritising quality overgrowth and a well-crafted legal strategy implemented in calm over aggressive representation.
Through all times, we endeavour to maintain a working environment that is balanced and enriching.
