I am Adv Jagriti Singh, a practicing advocate at Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. My legal career began in 2005 at Hon'ble Allahabad High Court, after which I joined Hon'ble Supreme Court.

Book written by me
This book explores the pivotal role of advocates in defending rights and offers insights into the legal profession. It is divided into two parts:
Part 1: Describes advocates' rights, duties, responsibilities, misconduct, and their relationship with clients.
Part 2: Discusses remedies available through the Supreme Court for maintaining long-term client relationships.
I am grateful to my elder sister, Smt. Ekta Kaur, for her encouragement and support in transitioning to legal practice. During my early career, I collaborated with Late C.S. Chaturvedy, Adv. Manoj Tiwari, and Adv. Dhananjay Mishra. My interests in corporate law led me to work with Adv. Kushal Kant on DRT and other corporate cases, and Adv. Amit Srivastava on criminal cases. Since 2007, I have pursued an independent advocacy practice.
My journey has included challenges, including realizing discrepancies between theoretical and practical aspects of the legal profession. Despite this, I appreciate the guidance and support of advocates, judges, staff, and clients, which have been instrumental in my growth.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to Adv. Rakesh Pandey and the Hon'ble Mr. Justice Yatindra Singh (now retired) for their support in organizing the IT Conclave. Their cooperation was pivotal in overcoming challenges and achieving success in this initiative.
I am grateful for the trust and support of everyone who has been a part of my journey. Thank you.
