He heads the dispute resolution practice at ALMT Legal’s Bangalore office.

AS Ponnanna is an Additional Advocate General at the Karnataka HC. Ponnanna climbed through the ranks of state government’s legal team in a relatively short span of time.

Sandesh Chouta is also an Additional Advocate General. He was appointed in August 2018.

Jayna Kothari is a co-founder of Centre for Law and Policy Research. She is also a partner at Ashira Law, a Bangalore-based law firm, and practices in the Karnataka HC and the Supreme Court of India.

G Shivadass heads the Bangalore office of Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, and has been with the firm since 1993.

The names of Gurudas Kannur, Arvind Kamath and KN Phanindra recently came up for elevation as HC judges but were eventually remitted to the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court by the SC Collegium.

These designations are the first to take place ever since the Supreme Court’s judgment in Indira Jaising v. Union of India, by which the system of designating Senior Advocates saw a change.
