Zal has a superb reputation in India and beyond, and we are delighted to welcome him to Chambers.”
Zal Andhyarujina SA said:
“I am very excited to join Fountain Court. I look forward to collaborating and working with its many distinguished lawyers. Fountain Court has built a reputation for disputes work internationally.

Senior Clerk Alex Taylor said:
“We are delighted that Zal is joining Fountain Court as a door tenant. India is a significant and growing source of disputes work, not just for London but also for Singapore where we have an established office, and we are very pleased to be further adding to the expertise we can offer our clients in that market.”
Zal’s arrival at Fountain Court further strengthens its connections to the Indian market, following the arrival of Gaurav Pachnanda SA as a door tenant in 2016.
