We were searching for a Legal Consultant for our firm, we stumbled upon Agama in some of our research. After our first meet with Archana at their office, we were pretty sure they were going to be our legal consultants.

Their approach towards each new requisite and the existing process is systematic, making sure the client doesn’t miss any of the points.

Would definitely recommend to my colleagues.

We found Agama Law Associates and right from the beginning, Agama exceeded all our expectations. First, we wanted a legal firm that understands the business end of the practice of law. Second, we wanted an innovative, can - do, dynamic legal advisor in our business endeavours. Agama has consistently blown us away with their ideas and the implementation of those ideas with a fantastic turn-around time. Third, we wanted responsive, professional service-minded people to work with. Agama certainly is all of this. Besides experience, Agama Law Associates brings a reputation for unparalleled commitment and integrity. To us, that reputation is priceless.

Often times, we pick up the phone and can immediately reach Archana, the Partner of Agama, to kick around some ideas and ask for advice. We whole-heartedly recommend Agama.

Agama Law has been our legal partner now for than 3 years now. Archana & her team have always been a call away for all our legal drafts, agreements and legal issues that have come our way. It is commendable on how the team works on every assignment with precision and delivers the best. They cover most of our legal concerns and come up with points that we ignore while doing commercial negotiations. This makes our paper-work strong and covers us for all future contingencies. We can always focus on our business and commercials while we have a partner who takes care of all our legal hassles. Archana has always answered our questions, no matter how trivial. She and the team have also worked for us during her medical emergency and have taken our calls in wee hours for an opinion. I always remember telling Archana that I need this reverted in a day and use words like ASAP every-time. She has always accommodated my super urgent requests and have completed all our assignments within our expected TAT. I can easily say-working with Agama has been one of my best experience.

It has truly been a pleasure working with Archana, you and the team at Agama.

In my experience of working with Agama over the last year, it is commendable to note that while Archana, of course, has in-depth knowledge of her area of expertise i.e. corporate commercial transactions, amongst others, the team working under her guidance is equally equipped to ably deal with a transaction at hand.

A quality that sets Agama apart from other law firms is the adherence to time commitments - I have never had to send reminders for a deadline. Most matters were delivered on schedule and if an extension was needed due to the complexity of a matter, it was sought well in advance and not last minute.

Further,Archana making herself available for client calls at short notices and also keeping the clients informed in advance of her travel schedule/ days off (if any), reflected, at all times, the professionalism with which Agama is run.

All of the above certainly helped in building more trust when it came to a new client.

I look forward to engaging with Agama on more matters in the near future.

Wishing you the very best!

Among other things, I appreciate:

timely response/ updates from the team on the assignments, and

your unbiased listening for others' views. It is important in any profession to consider the viewpoints of others with due respect and take them into account while making the decisions and you very well exhibit this quality.
