In a significant lateral move within the intellectual property legal circuit, Mr. Urfee Roomi has joined the renowned IP boutique Lall & Sethi as a Litigation Partner. Mr. Roomi transitioned from Sujata Chaudhri IP Attorneys (SCIP), where he previously held the position of Litigation Partner, and he brings with him over a decade of concentrated experience in intellectual property dispute resolution and brand enforcement.
At Lall & Sethi, Mr. Roomi will be a key part of the Litigation & Enforcement team, actively working within the team led by Ms. Nancy Roy. Ms. Roy, a highly respected and experienced practitioner in the IP domain, has recently stepped into the role of Senior Partner of the Litigation & Enforcement Team.
The Law Firm announced the latest joining through its Linkedin post.
Leadership and Background
Mr. Roomi brings a strong track record of IP enforcement to his new role. A 2016 graduate, he built his early career at SCIP, rising from an intern to a partner. During his tenure, Mr. Roomi handled complex intellectual property disputes across courts in India, specializing in high-stakes counterfeit and enforcement actions, civil raids, and securing “well-known” trademark declarations for global brands. He is also noted for his pragmatic approach, frequently combining traditional litigation with mediation to secure commercially viable resolutions for brand owners.
He joins Ms. Nancy Roy, whose leadership continues to shape Lall & Sethi’s courtroom strategies. Practicing in courts across India since 2010, Roy is a distinguished litigator with deep expertise in trademark infringement, disparagement, and copyright issues. Her elevation to Senior Partner highlights the firm’s commitment to aggressive and results-driven IP enforcement.
This strategic addition is expected to push Lall & Sethi’s litigation capabilities even further as Lall & Sethi has long been recognized as a powerhouse dedicated intellectual property law. The firm is exceptionally proactive in IPR and trademark litigation, constantly making headlines for representing clients in high-stakes, heavily contested trademark disputes. Alongside its formidable litigation presence in the courts, Lall & Sethi is equally celebrated for its robust trademark prosecution team, offering end-to-end brand protection across the region.
With Ms. Nancy Roy at the helm of the litigation team and Mr. Urfee Roomi bringing his specialized enforcement expertise, Lall & Sethi is well-positioned to further cement its dominance in India’s highly competitive intellectual property landscape.
This strategic hire follows Lall & Sethi’s recent proactive expansion of its broader IP practice, marked by the prior addition of Mr. Naval Kastia, who joined as a Partner in the firm’s trademark prosecution team. With Mr. Roomi’s practical enforcement background now paired with Ms. Roy’s leadership, Lall & Sethi has further solidified its capacity to handle complex, multi-jurisdictional brand protection cases and drive continued growth.
