About RSD Bajaj Global

Award-winning India's Emerging Full Service Law Firm - democratising access to professional & quality legal advisory since 2015.

Our Story

Founded on a Vision to Democratise Quality Legal Advisory

RSD Bajaj Global was founded in 2015 by Varun Bajaj and Shivaarti Bajaj with a vision of democratising access to professional & quality legal advisory. Born from their pedigree at India's most prestigious law firms - Amarchand Mangaldas and Remfry & Sagar - and sharpened by Harvard credentials, they built an award-winning full-service law firm that serves the new economy.

Our founding partners bring together rare depth: Varun's expertise in general corporate advisory, alternative investment funds, and venture capital investments, combined with Shivaarti's specialisation as a Qualified Patent Attorney in IP, data privacy, and emerging technology. Together they have built a firm that covers every dimension of modern business law.

Today, RSD Bajaj Global is recognised as India's Emerging Full Service Law Firm - spanning 9 practice areas across India, UAE, US, EU, Singapore, and Uganda. We are proud to be trusted partners for startups, venture-backed companies, and established corporations navigating the complexities of modern business law.
