Kanika Marwaha Bindal
Advocate and founder of Irenic Legal, advising companies on contracts, intellectual property, data privacy and corporate compliance.
Kanika Marwaha Bindal is a corporate lawyer with more than eight years of experience advising companies on legal, compliance, employment, intellectual property and operational matters. She holds a postgraduate degree in Corporate Laws from National Law University, Jodhpur.
She has worked with startups, SMEs, multinational companies, educational institutions, healthcare organisations, technology companies and HR teams, with clients in India, the UAE, the United States, Canada, Japan and Australia. Her work often involves helping founders expand internationally, protecting brands through trademark and IP strategy, and drafting contracts that anticipate how a commercial relationship can go wrong.
She works closely with founders, leadership teams and HR professionals so that legal and compliance requirements are built into a company's day-to-day operations and growth plans, and she explains the law in terms of the business decision it affects.
About the practice
Irenic Legal was founded to give businesses clear, practical legal support. The word irenic means aiming for peace and conciliation, which reflects the practice's preference for resolving matters collaboratively wherever that serves the client.
How the practice works
Advice is given in writing wherever a decision depends on it, so that the reasoning can be read again later and shared with the people who need to act on it.
Meetings are held in Gurugram or by video call, and correspondence is in English. For clients abroad, calls are arranged across time zones and documents are exchanged and signed electronically where the law allows.
What a client shares with the practice is kept confidential, as the rules of professional conduct for advocates require.
