‘IF YOU ARE GOOD, DO NOT CHASE MONEY, SOMEDAY MONEY WILL CHASE YOU’
It is a 16-year-old law firm founded by our Managing Partner Ms. Mahua Roy Chowdhury. The Firm initially started as an IP& TMT Boutique Firm. The Firm was re-structured to full service with the present name ROYZZ & Co in 2016. While retaining its core strength in technology, science and IPR, ROYZZ & Co is now a Go-To Firm for many techs driven companies for corporate transactions, dispute resolution including arbitration and litigation.
Based on the fact that the Firm is helmed and comprises mostly techno lawyers (dual qualified), it has carved out a niche domain of advising and assisting tech dominant companies, tech transactions and litigations as well. The Firm has indigenously built its own software for Client’s portfolio management. Even, the COO heading administration and HR is also an Engineer and comes with experience of working in leading IT companies. No wonder the Firm is thus supported by robust IT tools and software.
ROYZZ & CO has clients in varied domain spectrum ranging from nano technology to aerospace, from MNC giants to individual scientists.
Mahua Roy Chowdhury the Founding Partner of ROYZZ & Co. and has more than 26 years of experience. She started as a litigator in Delhi High Court and successfully filed and argued several landmark cases in Delhi High Court soon after her law school. However, she wanted to enrich her knowledge further in a subject which is futuristic yet has practical value. Way back in 1999 she envisioned intellectual property as a subject where India is lagging behind. She bagged a scholarship for LLM in IP in year 2000, quit her successful independent practice and joined world renowened college for IP in the USA, that is Franklin Pierce. She specialised in Patent including Patent drafting, IP asset management and valuation.
However, coming back to India in 2001, she faced many challenges to diversify in a subject which was still evolving. She joined a corporate law Firm in Mumbai wherein she got exposure to diverse subjects like anti-dumping, disinvestment, India-entry, commercial litigation and M&A. While all these subjects gave her a wholistic experience, she successfully built an IP practice around anti- counterfeiting. She formed association of IT companies, worked with Crime branch and Police for IP awareness, with Customs for enacting appropriate law, while conducting enforcement actions with Police all over India.
However, her employer was still not ready to start a hard-core Patent practice, which eventually led her to open her own boutique Firm in 2007. She realised that before promoting her Firm she has to promote IP as an asset to the management of companies. She thus started propagating significance of allocating resources in IP by conducting workshops and speaking at several forums on IP Valuation, Licensing and how it can improve balance sheets. She also found challenges in hiring resources from varied engineering domain with skills in patent drafting. ROYZZ comprises mostly techno lawyers (dual qualified) and this makes the Firm truly unique. Our customers acknowledge our uniqueness in terms of our understanding of their business and technology. Our Multinational IT clients commend our quality services given our expertise in handling technical transactions with finesse. We have been participating in critical cross-border licensing and technology transfer agreements and have resolved several disputes especially of IT companies
