From Counsel to Constitutional Strategist: Insights from Senior Advocate Sanjay Jain

To begin with, could you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a brief overview of your journey in the legal profession?

My name is Sanjay Jain and my legal journey began in 1985 at the trial courts and Delhi High Court, handling diverse cases that laid a strong foundation for my career. Steadily, my practice grew, attracting major clients like American Express and General Electric (GE) Capital and expanded into commercial, constitutional and regulatory litigation. In 2001, I was appointed as Central Government Standing Counsel and in 2005, I was designated as a Senior Advocate. I was later appointed as the Additional Solicitor General of India for the Delhi High Court in 2014 and for the Supreme Court in 2019. Each role added a new dimension to my professional growth and deepened my engagement with complex legal and policy matters. In 2023, I returned to independent practice as a Senior Advocate, where I continue to represent clients in a wide array of cases across various courts and tribunals.
