India-based IP law firm LexOrbis has set up its second office in Mumbai, two years after launching its first one in Bengaluru.

Manisha Singh, LexOrbis’ founder and partner, will supervise the Mumbai branch. Initially,two intellectual property attorneys, one litigator and general commercial lawyer will join the new office. Within the next quarter, however, the firm plans to have an eight to 10-lawyer team.

Founded in 1997, the New Delhi-headquartered firm does IP work with clients across other various Indian cities including Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Nagpur. 

LexOrbis is also working closely with Mumbai’s startup ecosystem and the new office is expected to serve as a one-stop-shop for them, providing advice on business structuring, fund raising and regulatory requirements.
