Advocates & Legal Consultants | Bangalore, Karnataka
Discover the FirmWho We Are
RDB Associates was founded nine years ago on a simple conviction: that good counsel begins not with a case file, but with a relationship. We believe a client is best served when one firm comes to understand them well enough to advise across the whole of their needs — and stays beside them, matter after matter, year after year. That is the firm we set out to build: a one-stop practice, solutions-driven, and defined not by the volume of matters we handle but by the deliberateness we bring to each one.
Partner — Litigation & Disputes
Abhay is a litigator at heart, equally at home in a courtroom and across a negotiating table. A certified mediator trained in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), he has brought many disputes to settlement — among families, estate planners and corporations — often sparing clients the cost and rancour of a fight. His practice spans matrimonial and family matters, commercial disputes, arbitration, and corporate negotiations for the facilitation of credit, and he has spent years on pro-bono matters against the State and large corporations — often the cases others called unwinnable. He brings a rare duality to each brief: the precision of a trial lawyer and the strategic calm of an advisor. Above all he is candid — clients leave knowing exactly where their matter stands and what the sensible next step is.
Partner — Intellectual Property & Technology
Mudit leads the firm's intellectual property and technology practice, where a deep command of IP law meets hands-on courtroom experience. He advises companies, institutions and startups on trademarks, copyright and IP disputes, as well as licensing and data-protection compliance — and brings the same assurance to real estate and property disputes and to corporate transactions of every nature. As comfortable with a single brand dispute as with proceedings running in parallel across forums, he is known throughout for meticulous attention and a measured, methodical calm that steadies even the most complex matters.
