The Origins: Where Passion Meets Purpose


The story began with AKPD Legal Partners LLP, officially registered on 15 March 2023. The date was chosen to honour International Women's Day, symbolizing a law firm led by two first-generation women lawyers, Poornima Deo and Ashwini Kulkarni, who sought to break barriers in the legal profession.
Poornima Deo, brought over 19 years of expertise in corporate legal services, specializing in non-litigation areas such as corporate law, commercial law, and intellectual property. Her vision was clear—to create a practice that combined professionalism with compassion, particularly for first-generation lawyers navigating the complexities of the legal landscape.
Ashwini Kulkarni, with 15 years of litigation experience in civil, property, and family law, complemented Poornima's expertise with her command over courtroom procedures and client advocacy. Together, they launched a firm committed to excellence and client-focused solutions, navigating the challenges of professional and personal responsibilities with unyielding determination.
