This website is not a solicitation or invitation to create an attorney-client relationship. No such relationship is created or deemed to be created by visiting this website or by contacting us. This is a passive website intended principally to disseminate published materials already available in the public domain.
We, as well our attorneys, do not take out or subscribe to paid rankings, paid listings, paid endorsements or paid advertisements.

The private/personal activities of individual lawyers of the firm (such as, but not limited to, writing and publishing in journals and publications, blogs, and expressing views in the public domain, in print and online media, taking membership of organizations and groups in a private capacity, political activities, membership of political parties, contesting elections and other electoral activities, etc.) are not reflective of the firm, nor does the firm support, endorse or identify with any of them.

ALG attorneys practice only in teams viz. accept appointment as advocates-cum-agents on any file/mandate only jointly in practice-groups of at least two ALG attorneys. At ALG, Advocates and IP Agents also participate and share in and contribute towards discharging certain ancillary and support functions in addition to their primary professional responsibilities as lawyers and IP Agents, and this also they do as part of teams and not as individuals. Management functions such as client-relations generally, as well as on any specific file, previous client relations, potential client relations, billing, expenditure, accounts, infrastructure and office management etc. are all thus discharged by such teams. ALG attorneys are not permitted to engage in any sole or individual practice, not even in an outside-ALG or private capacity.

There is functional specialization in ALG in addition to specializations in Areas of Focus and Areas of Practice. In her/his professional work as an Advocates and/or an IP Agent, each individual at ALG specializes, as part of a team, in certain allocated core functions on any client file and discharges only that core function on any client file, instead of handling a client file in all respects or/and from file opening to file closing.

ALG does not adopt, have or implement any differential billing rate, treatment or fee schedule for and amongst its clients, whether domestic or foreign, or between any such or other categories, either on a on a case by case basis or on any such categorization basis. ALG does, however, provide differently customized client-tailored suite of its IP legal representational services for each of its clients resulting in naturally different costs to different clients for what might otherwise superficially appear similar engagements but would be only apparently similar engagements. ALG works closely with each of its clients to understand that client’s needs and requirements to adapt its billing structure, format and arrangement itself for a more conducive mutual fit. ALG does provide special discounts to its clients but this is on the basis of long-standing relationships reflecting sustained and deep engagement and commitment. It provides these automatically and only in accordance with its internal policies, not on request, demand, discretion or ad-hocism. ALG also provides but only in accordance with its internal policy in force at any given time, what are in the nature of bulk discounts for several simultaneous similar or related instructions or engagements. Actually, these reflect value based reductions given the nature of the instructions and engagements as a package. ALG’s billing arrangements for any engagement are predicted on an attorney-client relationship. ALG is a lawfirm and it provides only legal IP representational services; it does not provide non-legal IP business services or non-legal IP liaison services. ALG’s billing is for this reason incapable of being disaggregated in any part into either of these two types of services that ALG does not provide. ALG does not have any generally applicable fee schedules for any generic or pre-defined activities, services, tasks or engagements because ALG does not provide such modular or otherwise template based services.
