She was the best litigator in Mumbai and could hold her own in terms of arguments against Senior Counsels.

Savani is an excellent litigator, an inspiring mentor and will make a brilliant partner. Excellent work ethic along with humility. A great combination to have in any partner. Samvad is certainly very lucky to have her . Wish you all the very best Savani !
