About Kavao Law
A cross-border practice, deliberately focused.
Kavao Law is a cross-border legal practice handling matters connected with India, the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Western Asia, and other jurisdictions. We work with foreign nationals and international businesses, foreign lawyers and law firms, and with overseas individuals and families, including Non Resident Indians (NRIs).
The founder and principal counsel of Kavao Law graduated in Law in India in 2002 and was admitted as an Advocate with the Bar Council of Punjab & Haryana, Chandigarh. He was admitted as a Solicitor of England & Wales in 2008 through the qualifying route for foreign lawyers, having completed the course of study from Oxford Brookes University, London. Those qualifications are personal to the individual concerned and do not imply that the firm, every team member, or any entity personally holds them. Kavao Law was formerly known as NRI Law Offices and its lawyers are serving the clients in India and abroad since 2003.

How We Work
A clear path from enquiry to outcome.
Every matter begins with understanding what you are facing, what the law allows, and what the next practical step is.
01
Consultation
You describe the matter and the jurisdictions involved. We listen, ask the questions that matter, and confirm whether we can assist.
02
Review
We examine your documents, chronology, and any prior proceedings. Where another jurisdiction is involved, we identify what local counsel may need to do.
03
Plan
We set out the available routes, their practical limits, the likely timeline, and the information still required — in writing, before any work proceeds.
04
Act
We carry out the agreed work, keep you informed at each stage, and coordinate with local counsel where another jurisdiction is engaged.
