We’re pleased to have Ms. Meghna Mishra, Senior Partner at Karanjawala & Co., joining us as a speaker for the Practical Skills Workshop on IPR on the occasion of World IPR Day.

With over 20 years of experience in litigation across a wide range of forums in India, Ms. Mishra has built a strong reputation in Intellectual Property Rights, advising clients on the adoption, protection, and enforcement of trademarks and copyrights. Her practice also includes high-stake IPR disputes and arbitration matters, where her strategic approach, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills stand out.

As the lead for the Delhi High Court and trial court practice at her firm, she handles matters related to commercial and contractual disputes, company law, insolvency, inheritance, property, and matrimonial cases.

Her contributions have been widely recognized—Chambers & Partners Global Guide 2023 ranked her in Band 4 for Dispute Resolution: New Delhi-based, affirming her standing as a key figure in the legal community.

We look forward to gaining practical insights from her vast experience in the field of IPR and litigation.
