Rajiv D. Sone is a practising advocate appearing before the Supreme Court of India, the Bombay High Court, district and sessions courts, and tribunal forums including the NCLT, DRT and CAT — alongside a parallel career as a business founder and management consultant. Few advocates bring both perspectives to a brief; this chamber is built around that combination.

Rajiv holds a B.Com, an LL.B, an LL.M and a postgraduate diploma in business management (MBA, Finance & Marketing). Over 12+ years, that mix of legal training and business grounding has taken him from corporate roles with organisations including ICICI, Kotak and JM Financial Services, into founding his own ventures.

"A legal opinion that ignores what a fight costs a client isn't a complete opinion."

He is the Founder of the Strivik Group of Business, and Cofounder & Director of Strivik Business Solutions Pvt Ltd, its business consulting arm — advising SMEs and corporates on strategy, operations and growth across manufacturing, trading, hospitality, real estate and retail. That same diagnostic approach — reading a situation for what it actually costs and what it's actually worth — carries directly into how he takes up a legal matter.

The litigation practice today spans criminal defence, corporate and NCLT matters, DRT recovery proceedings, civil and property disputes, family matters, CAT service matters, and consumer suits, argued from the Supreme Court of India down to trial courts — for individuals and companies based in Mumbai, elsewhere in India, and for a number of clients based overseas who need an advocate they can brief and instruct remotely.

Approach

Three habits this chamber applies to every brief

01

Scope before strategy

Before recommending a forum or filing, the exposure, timelines and realistic outcomes are set out plainly for the client to decide on.

02

One point of contact

Advocate Sone remains directly involved in strategy through the life of the matter, rather than handing it off entirely.

03

Settlement weighed honestly

Where a negotiated resolution genuinely serves the client better than a prolonged fight, that option is put on the table, not buried.
