‘Naik and Naik are of the most equipped law firms in Mumbai providing end to end services general corporate and litigation advisory services. Their team is generally reachable – that too at leadership level – Ameet Naik himself – is 24/7 – and can be taken for granted. Their ground level experience and knowledge on the entire legal eco system is very unique and a one-stop resource for all your needs. Their result-oriented approach in any issue is a boon for clients – who generally are mired with legalese that they probably don’t understand.’

‘The ethos of the firm starts from Ameet – founder and cuts across the entire team. Abhishek and Madhu are leaders in their own right – so, from a client perspective the comfort level in their engagement is very high and always consistent during the course of their engagement. Their ability to quickly understand the business / commercial aspect of the matter on hand is also very unique.’
