He splits his practice into two primary areas, specifically, 1) Antitrust, Competition, and Trade regulation and 2) Intellectual Property and Commercial Law where the team's cross-departmental approach allows him to provide a versatile and comprehensive approach to his work.

His work covers, in particular, designing global go-to-market and brand erosion strategies, monitoring and enforcing selective distribution systems, assisting clients in obtaining merger control and FDI clearance, managing the trademark and design portfolio of international companies, advising clients on infringements and invalidation actions, and reviewing and drafting IP/Competition law related agreements.
