About the Role

We are a real estate, land development and renewable energy group with an active portfolio of property, title, land-use and regulatory matters across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We already have on-record advocates who appear in court. What we do not have is a sharp in-house mind who owns the file, does the deep research, builds the strategy and hands our advocates a ready-to-use brief.

This is that role. You will NOT appear in court and will NOT sign vakalatnamas.



You will be the intelligence engine behind every matter — the person who reads everything, finds the angle, and drives the case to closure.

What You Will Own
- Master case tracker for all active matters: stage, next date, exposure, owner, next action.
- A one-page brief before every hearing — facts, issue, our position, opposing party's best defence, what our advocate must argue.
- Deep legal research: statutes, rules, circulars and Karnataka / Madras High Court and Supreme Court precedent relevant to each matter.
- Case chronologies, document and evidence indexes, and pleadings review for gaps before filing.
- Independent validation of external counsel's strategy — challenge it, stress-test it, propose alternatives with time and cost estimates.
- Monthly strategy memo per matter with a clear recommendation: fight, settle, withdraw or negotiate.
- Title due diligence support, revenue record verificati
