Team
It is the vision of the leaders that shapes the firm, and our young and dynamic partners have a great vision working under the dedicated mentorship of our ‘Big Boss’ who is as kind as he is tough. Everyone who has worked with him say ‘with Sir we learnt to strive for perfection. We spent hours in the office to find the one unbreachable authority to support our case, and where we could not, we worked even harder to create a precedent’. It is the effort of the team that has maintained our good reputation with clients and judges.

Our Philosophy
We are a tight-knit community of extremely well-read and opinionated individuals who are valued for their differences. Loyalty and commitment are the greatest valued virtues at Talekar & Associates.
First we try winnings for everyone
We understand that not all problems can be solved by court room litigation, some may have a balancing solution where every party wins and goes home happy. So we first try mediation.
We play to win
But not all problems can be solved without a fight,So if the other party insists, we go to play. And when we do, we WIN.
We play fair
Ethics are engrained in our work culture. We innovate in legal analysis not delaying strategies! Winning the right way is the only way.
Perfection in every draft
We strive for perfection in every draft that leaves the office. Guilty of charges of research freaks and grammar Nazis!
We respect every case
We are among the only litigation firms to serve such a wide mix of clients, from the top-notch all powerful politicians, corporate entities and class-I officers to the rustic and illiterate farmers and class-IV employees who have come to us as their only hope, and we treat every case with equal RESPECT.
We value difference
We believe in diversity, and we value differences in opinions for the of self-learning that it provides, and the interesting character it gives our Firm.
