Biography
Abhijith Christopher graduated from Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad, in 2021. Soon after, he trained in the chambers of then Advocate V. Raghavachari (presently Senior Counsel at the Hon'ble Madras High Court), then Advocate V. Lakshminarayanan (Hon'ble Judge of the Madras High Court), and Advocate V. Srimathi. During this phase, he appeared in a wide spectrum of matters - civil suits, second appeals, writ petitions, and arbitration proceedings - before the High Court of Madras and before arbitral tribunals. This period gave him a solid grounding in procedure and the fundamentals of civil and appellate practice.
He also handles cross-jurisdictional matters before other High Courts and advises clients on intellectual property registration and enforcement, helping them protect and commercialize their innovations and brands. His work is defined by clear pleadings, persuasive submissions, and client-focused solutions.

After gaining extensive exposure to corporate laws at H&B Partners, Abhijith joined Nathan & Nandhan Associates LLP.
