Profile

Eleven Years and Counting. Outcome-Driven Across Every Jurisdiction.

Shaurya Sahay is an Advocate-on-Record at the Supreme Court of India and the founder of the Chambers of Shaurya Sahay — a full-service independent chambers handling litigation, commercial arbitration, and regulatory advisory work across every major forum in the country.

Over eleven years of practice, the chambers has developed deep expertise across commercial arbitrations, civil and criminal appellate work, constitutional litigation, education and medical education law, land acquisition, service disputes, and policy advisory — representing private clients, corporations, and State governments with equal rigour.

Shaurya has appeared before several High Courts along with the National Green Tribunal, the Central Administrative Tribunal, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission. He graduated from Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University, Lucknow (B.A. LL.B., Hons., 2014).

Shaurya commenced practice under Mr. Amit Kumar, Senior Advocate, where he worked on constitutional and commercial matters before the Supreme Court of India. Mr. Kumar presently serves as the Advocate General for the State of Meghalaya, and the chambers' practice and ethos draws greatly from the experiences gained at Mr. Kumar's chambers.

Approach to Practice

Every dispute has a structure, and the best legal strategy finds it before the other side does. The chambers emphasises thorough preparation, early identification of the decisive legal issue, and focused advocacy — whether the matter is an SLP admission hearing on a Monday morning or a multi-crore commercial arbitration spanning months. We invest heavily in understanding each client's sector and commercial reality, because a legal argument disconnected from practical outcomes serves no one.
