About YBS Legal

Established in 2021. Built around eleven lawyers who wanted to practice differently.

Our Story

YBS Legal was founded in 2021 in Bengaluru by a team of eleven lawyers who had practiced separately across litigation, corporate advisory, and dispute resolution. They started the firm on a simple premise: clients are better served by a small team of experienced lawyers who stay involved in a matter from start to finish, rather than a large firm where a case moves between people the client never meets.

Under the leadership of Managing Partner Umesh Bhargav and Co-Managing Partner Pranav Kulkarni, the firm has built a practice covering corporate and commercial law, litigation, real estate, family law, intellectual property, and arbitration, acting for clients across Bengaluru and Karnataka.

How We Work
01A partner is involved in every matter from the first consultation.
02Clients receive plain-language updates, not legal jargon they have to decode.
03Fee estimates are given in writing before work starts.
04Matters are staffed by the smallest team that can do the work properly.

Our values

Preparation

Every matter is researched thoroughly before advice is given, not during the meeting.

Candor

Clients are told what a case is actually worth pursuing, and what it is not.

Accessibility

Calls and emails are returned within one business day as a standing rule.

Discretion

Client matters, especially in family and corporate disputes, are handled in strict confidence.
