He says in his LinkedIn profile– “I am an engineer-turned-litigator/arguing counsel with bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Anna University (2002-06) and in law from IIT Kharagpur (2006-09). I started my career as a litigator in July 2009 with the NCR-based litigation firm, Saikrishna & Associates, and was made Associate Partner in March 2015. In June 2016, I founded Law Chambers of J. Sai Deepak and have, ever since, been practising as an arguing counsel. I am engaged by law firms and independent solicitors to argue for/represent their clients in the Delhi High Court, the Supreme Court of India, the Madras High Court, SIAC arbitrations, NCLTs, NCLAT, CCI and IP Tribunals.
In over a decade’s practice as a litigator, I have handled a variety of matters relating to Civil Commercial litigation including IP litigation, Constitutional law, Corporate litigation, Competition Law and arbitrations representing entities from diverse sectors such as the pharmaceutical, e-commerce and the telecom industries. Since March 2013, I have been representing prominent Indian mobile phone brands in telecom SEP litigation before the Delhi High Court, the CCI and the IPAB.
Apart from high-end commercial litigation, I have contributed significantly to landmark decisions such as Tata Sons v. Greenpeace wherein the law relating to the interplay between constitutional freedoms and IP rights was laid down. I successfully led the team in March 2015 which represented online intermediaries before the Supreme Court in the constitutional challenge to the intermediary liability regime under the Information Technology Act, 2000 as part of the Shreya Singhal petitions. I have also argued before a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in the Sabarimala Temple Entry case. Recently, I argued in the Padmanabhaswamy Temple case on the 26th amendment to the Constitution. I am the Special Counsel for State Govt of Madhya Pradesh in the ongoing dispute seeking inclusion of MP as part of the Basmati GI.“
