What Clients Say
In their wordsAt Vedanta, our global operations require legal counsel that is not only technically proficient but also deeply attuned to the complexities of the natural resources and energy sectors. Capstone Legal has consistently proven to be a strategic advisor rather than just a service provider.
Ashish, a law graduate from National Law School, Bangalore and also qualified to practice in England and Wales, is a lawyer on whom clients can rely upon and who will deliver in terms of relief and provide best solution to the issue. His brother, Vagish Singh is equally competent and they together form a great team at Capstone Legal.
The ‘NLS brothers’, as they are famously known, tore biases and traditions of the bar to shreds when they branched out on their own in the very first year and argued cases themselves, even before the Supreme Court. Today they stand tall with an impressive clientele, deal with a myriad fields of law and have tons of reported judgments to their credit.
Founded in 2012, Capstone Legal is a leading law firm based out of Jaipur practicing law at Supreme Court of India, Rajasthan High Court, Gujarat High Court and Bombay High Court.
