Munish Datwalia

With nearly two decades of experience before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh and various judicial and quasi-judicial forums, Munish Datwalia has earned a reputation as a seasoned litigator and trusted strategic legal advisor. Years of courtroom advocacy have equipped him with an instinctive understanding of not only the law, but also the practical realities that often determine the outcome of complex litigation.

Known for combining legal precision with strategic foresight, Mr. Datwalia approaches every matter by looking beyond the immediate legal issues. He carefully evaluates litigation strategy, procedural choices, anticipated timelines, and the most effective course of action. His extensive courtroom experience has also given him a keen appreciation of differing judicial approaches and courtroom dynamics, enabling him to tailor his advocacy and litigation strategy to the unique demands of each case.

Over the course of his career, Mr. Datwalia has been associated with several significant judicial pronouncements, including Babu Ram v. State of Himachal Pradesh (CWP No. 6443 of 2021), a landmark judgment that has since attained finality before the Supreme Court of India and continues to serve as a leading precedent in service law. While his professional reputation is built on a consistent record of successful advocacy rather than any single matter, the case reflects the calibre of his legal practice and its enduring contribution to the development of the law.

Ram Kumar

A graduate of the Faculty of Law, Panjab University (2018), Ram Kumar has built a diverse litigation practice spanning the entire judicial hierarchy—from trial courts and district forums to the High Court and the Supreme Court of India. This breadth of exposure has given him a distinctive understanding of how litigation evolves at every stage of the judicial process.

Unlike practitioners whose experience is confined to a single forum, his practice has equipped him with a comprehensive perspective on the lifecycle of a case. He approaches every matter not merely with the immediate proceedings in mind, but with a strategic vision of how the dispute may develop through appellate stages, ensuring that decisions taken at the outset strengthen the case in the long term.

Having regularly worked alongside local counsel as well as seasoned advocates appearing before the Supreme Court of India, Mr. Kumar has developed a strong professional network that enables clients to benefit from coordinated representation across jurisdictions. His ability to bridge grassroots litigation with appellate strategy ensures continuity, consistency, and a well-planned approach throughout the course of a dispute.

Known for his meticulous preparation and practical legal insight, he advises clients with an emphasis on long-term strategy, procedural efficiency, and achieving effective outcomes at every level of the justice system.

A graduate of the Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), Class of 2021, one of India's premier law schools, Akash Dehru combines a strong academic foundation with early professional experience gained alongside some of the country's leading legal practitioners in New Delhi, India's foremost commercial and legal hub. This exposure to high-value commercial transactions and complex disputes has shaped a modern, commercially driven approach to legal practice.

Leveraging an extensive professional network and a distinguished alumni base across leading law firms, multinational corporations, financial institutions, and senior legal practitioners, Mr. Dehru enables clients to access specialised legal expertise across diverse practice areas. Through strategic collaborations, Alpine Juris is able to draw upon domain-specific knowledge in matters involving domestic and international arbitration, cross-border transactions and investments, mergers and acquisitions, trademark and intellectual property law, securities and capital markets, venture capital and private equity transactions, foreign direct investment (FDI), regulatory compliance, international trade, and complex commercial disputes..

Mr. Dehru is particularly focused on assisting international businesses entering the Indian market and Indian domestic enterprises seeking to scale beyond their local markets. By combining commercial insight with a nationwide legal network, he helps clients establish robust legal foundations, navigate regulatory challenges, structure investments, and pursue long-term growth opportunities. Believing that modern legal practice extends beyond traditional litigation, he adopts a strategic, solution-oriented approach that helps businesses grow with confidence in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
