Axiom5 Law Chambers

Axiom5 is a boutique law practice focused on competition law and policy in India.

law

We are passionate about how laws are created, can be applied and sometimes, updated. We believe that the cornerstone of free markets is the rule of law.

economics

We understand economics. We care about how it affects people and institutions. When we read legal texts, we also consider their underlying economic rationale.

technology

We’re obsessed with technology and what goes on in the tech world. This helps us better understand our clients’ products, businesses, and target markets.

litigation

We are as comfortable in courtrooms as we are in corporate boardrooms. We prefer win-win solutions over bitter battles, but are always prepared to defend our position.

policy

Our experience in competition law, litigation, economics, and our love of technology helps us foresee policy developments and make meaningful contributions to competition policy.
