A modern Indian chamber — built quietly, over a decade.
Cornellia Chambers was founded in 2015 with a simple conviction: clients with complex lives need counsel who will see all of it. Ten years later, that conviction has become an institution.
Courts, transactions, advisory, policy.
Cornellia is a general practice chamber. We appear in the Supreme Court of India, the High Courts and specialised tribunals. We advise on transactions, regulation, policy, governance, succession and wealth. We act across borders for clients whose interests touch India.
We were built around a deliberately small bench of counsel — close in working style, complementary in expertise, and disciplined about which matters we accept.
What we hold ourselves to.
Deep thinking
We earn opinions slowly and hold them sharply.
Trust without compromise
The first promise of a chamber is reliability.
Discretion
Most of our best work is never spoken of publicly.
Strategic judgement
We counsel on what to do, not only what is permitted.
Practical execution
Advice without delivery is decoration.
Client protection
We measure ourselves by what we preserve.
Complex clients do not experience legal issues in silos.
A family business dispute is rarely just a dispute. It is succession, tax, company law, property, foreign exchange — sometimes constitutional, sometimes criminal — and always a relationship.
The strength of a general practice chamber is the discipline of seeing the whole picture: the regulatory implication of a commercial decision, the private-client consequence of a transaction, the dispute risk seeded in a contract.
We do not run cases past each other. We think them through together.
