Our Story & Our Philosophy

Amicus Prawo — Friend of Law

"Amicus Prawo" — the Latin and Polish confluence meaning "Friend of Law" — is not merely a name. It is the covenant we uphold with every client, every argument, and every verdict we seek.

Amicus Prawo Associates is a premier multi-specialty legal firm headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Founded by Advocate Vinay Kumar Singh (LL.M. Rank Holder) in 2017, the firm brings together an elite cadre of legal professionals committed to delivering results-oriented, ethically grounded legal services of the highest calibre.

What distinguishes Amicus Prawo from conventional law firms is our founders' rare combination of world-class corporate experience and rigorous legal training. Advocate Vinay Kumar Singh, before establishing this firm, served for over a decade with Fortune 500 companies including Hewlett-Packard, IBM/Emptoris, Thomson Reuters, and TaskUs — giving the firm an unmatched commercial lens that benefits every corporate and individual client we serve.

Our practice spans Corporate and Commercial Law, Criminal Defense, High Court litigation, Real Estate, Tribunal advocacy, International Legal matters, and Family Law — equipping us to handle the full spectrum of legal challenges faced by individuals, corporations, and institutions across India and internationally.

"
Every case, whether complex or routine, is approached with strategic clarity, confidentiality, and sensitivity to the client's personal or business objectives. Justice is not a privilege — it is a right we fight to secure.

The Story of Amicus Prawo

Amicus Prawo Associates was born out of a conviction that Bengaluru — a city of global ambitions — deserves a law firm that speaks the language of both law and commerce fluently. Our founding story is rooted in a rare duality: 11 years of Fortune 500 corporate experience meeting the rigour of a top-ranking legal education.

When Advocate Vinay Kumar Singh established this firm in 2017, he brought with him not only his LL.M. rank-holder credentials from CMR University, but also the legal and commercial acumen forged through a decade with Hewlett-Packard, IBM/Emptoris, Thomson Reuters, and TaskUs. This background — rare among practicing advocates — gives Amicus Prawo an edge in understanding contracts, corporate structures, compliance requirements, and the commercial imperatives that drive client decisions.

Advocate Vivek Raj M., Partner, brought depth in civil and administrative litigation to the firm — building a complementary practice across district courts, the High Court of Karnataka, the Central Administrative Tribunal, and specialized forums including the Wakf Tribunal.

Since its founding, the firm has handled numerous high-profile and nationally significant matters — including the landmark Atul Subhash case, the DGP Om Prakash murder case, and multiple sensitive honey trap litigations — cementing its reputation as one of Bengaluru's most trusted and formidable legal practices.

What We Stand For

Our practice is built on a foundation of uncompromising values that guide every decision, every strategy, and every engagement.

Integrity & Ethics

We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards demanded by the Bar Council of India. Every engagement is governed by transparency, honesty, and strict client confidentiality — without exception or compromise. We never misrepresent facts or outcomes.

Strategic Excellence

Our legal strategies combine scholarly rigor with practical insight — informed by years of corporate experience and deep knowledge of Karnataka's judicial landscape. We anticipate opposing arguments, prepare exhaustively, and deliver with precision.

Client Empowerment

We believe legal counsel should empower, not intimidate. Our approach educates clients about every stage of their matter — keeping them informed, involved, and confident throughout the legal process. We serve as true "friends of law."

Cultural Intelligence

Fluency in 7 languages — Hindi, English, Kannada, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish — and deep experience with international clients enables us to bridge cultural and linguistic barriers with ease and sensitivity.

Fearless Advocacy

We are not afraid of complexity, controversy, or high-stakes matters. From the District Court to the Supreme Court of India, we pursue justice with equal dedication — whether the matter is routine or nationally significant.

Responsiveness

Legal crises don't follow business hours. We are accessible, responsive, and committed to addressing urgent client needs promptly — because delayed counsel is often as costly as none at all.

National & International Capabilities

In a globalised economy, legal challenges rarely respect national boundaries. Amicus Prawo Associates is built to serve clients wherever their legal needs arise.

Cross-Border Legal Matters

We handle international commercial contracts, FDI & FPI transactions, trade fair representation, and arbitration across forums — ensuring compliance with both global standards and Indian regulations. Our founders' Fortune 500 background gives us a unique edge in structuring cross-border commercial arrangements.

7-Language Legal Services

Our team, led by Advocate Vinay Kumar Singh, offers legal services and client communication in Hindi, Kannada, English, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish — a rare capability that makes us the preferred choice for international clients engaging with the Indian legal system.

NRI & Foreign Client Services

We offer specialised assistance to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign nationals navigating India's legal system — covering property transactions, inheritance, power of attorney, matrimonial matters, business incorporation, and dispute resolution from abroad.

International Arbitration

Robust representation in domestic and international arbitration involving infrastructure, real estate, contract enforcement, joint ventures, and investor protection matters — with experience in both institutional and ad hoc arbitration proceedings.

Embassy & Diplomatic Assistance

We assist foreign embassies, consulates, and international organisations with legal documentation, local compliance requirements, employment agreements, and other statutory obligations under Indian law.

Trade, FEMA & Customs Law

Our international trade law practice covers FEMA compliance, import-export regulations, anti-dumping procedures, customs disputes, and advisory for companies participating in India's rapidly expanding trade ecosystem — both inbound foreign investment and outbound Indian investment.

Fortune 500 Experience

Before establishing Amicus Prawo Associates, Advocate Vinay Kumar Singh served with some of the world's most respected organizations over an 11-year corporate career — bringing exceptional commercial intelligence to his legal practice.

This corporate background is a competitive advantage our clients directly benefit from. Unlike advocates whose legal knowledge is purely academic, Advocate Singh understands how corporations think, how contracts are structured, and how commercial disputes typically evolve — enabling him to anticipate and strategise with precision that purely academic training cannot match.

This insight allows Amicus Prawo to provide high-value legal services to over 100 corporate clients ranging from IT companies and logistics firms to healthcare providers and financial institutions.
