Indian law firm IndusLaw has made its second disputes partner hire in two months after adding Maneesha Kongovi in Bengaluru from Argus Partners.

Kongovi’s hire comes at a time when IndusLaw has been expanding in South India. The firm recently acquired real estate-focused outfit ASLF, which has offices in the cities of Bengaluru and Chennai.

With experience in appearing before the Supreme Court of India, the Bombay High Court, the High Court of Karnataka, the Delhi, Gujarat and Calcutta High Courts, and also tribunals and district courts, Kongovi has worked on matters including commercial disputes, customs claims, real estate and construction disputes, infrastructure disputes, writ petitions, public interest litigations, winding-up proceedings, and trademark infringements.

Having worked at Bharucha & Partners and the legacy Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co earlier in her career, Kongovi established her own chambers in 2014. She joined Argus in 2019.

IndusLaw currently has more than 50 partners across its offices in Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. It recently hired dispute resolution expert Soura Subha Ghosh as a partner in Mumbai from Hariani & Co.
