Over a Century of Legal Excellence
Founded over 106 years ago, HRU Legal (formerly H.R. Upadhyaya & Co.) is one of Gujarat's most respected law firms, rooted in a tradition of legal integrity and excellence across four generations.
Rooted in Legacy, Focused on the Future
Headquartered in Ahmedabad, the commercial heart of Gujarat, HRU Legal stands as a beacon of legal excellence. With a commanding presence in the Gujarat High Court, High Courts nationwide, and the Supreme Court of India, we operate at the intersection of tradition and modern jurisprudence.
Our legacy was forged by the visionary Revashanker Keshavlal Upadhyaya, a Barrister-at-Law from London and Standing Counsel for the princely state of Bhavnagar. His founding principles established a standard of ethical advocacy and distinguished service that remains our cornerstone today.
This tradition of excellence was amplified by Himmatlal Upadhyaya, whose mastery of land and property law earned widespread acclaim. His tenure paved the way for a new era of expansion under the dynamic stewardship of Bharat Upadhyaya and Malti Upadhyaya.
Under their leadership, the firm evolved into a full-service powerhouse, diversifying into admiralty and maritime law, international commercial arbitration, penal law, and corporate acquisitions—cementing HRU Legal's reputation for comprehensive legal mastery.
Today, under the visionary leadership of Chitrajeet Upadhyaya, a fourth-generation legal luminary and Managing Partner, HRU Legal continues to redefine excellence. Blending a century of heritage with modern strategic insight, Chitrajeet ensures the firm remains at the vanguard of the legal profession, adapting seamlessly to the dynamic needs of a global clientele.
At HRU Legal, we steward a century-old legacy of justice through modern legal mastery.
