Kolkata’s growing prominence as a legal and professional services hub has received another boost with the expansion of Inttl Advocare, a boutique intellectual property (IP) law firm, into the city. The firm’s Kolkata office has been operational since 1 January 2026, marking an important step in strengthening IP-focused legal services in eastern India.
The new office will initially be led by Pragya Jain, Senior Associate, who brings extensive experience in trademark opposition, IP litigation, design law, and copyright matters. Her practice focuses on helping clients protect, manage, and enforce their intellectual property rights across diverse industries.
With this expansion, Inttl Advocare now has offices across key legal and commercial centres in India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. The firm is known for its strong capabilities in IP prosecution and enforcement, along with advisory services in allied and emerging areas such as IT, telecommunications, media, and select corporate services.
Beyond India, Inttl Advocare also advises clients on IP prosecution and litigation across neighbouring countries, including Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, and the Maldives, reflecting its growing regional footprint.
Commenting on the new office, Hemant Singh, Founder and Managing Partner of Inttl Advocare, said:
“Our presence in Kolkata gives us the opportunity to work closely with clients across eastern and northeastern India, while also contributing to the strengthening of the local IP sector. Being on the ground helps us develop deeper relationships, respond swiftly to client needs and offer the same level of dedicated service that Inttl Advocare has always stood for.”
The entry of a specialised IP law firm like Inttl Advocare further underlines Kolkata’s emergence as an important destination for legal, technology, and knowledge-driven services. As innovation, startups, and creative industries continue to grow in the region, the demand for robust intellectual property protection is set to rise, making such expansions both timely and significant.
At Kolkata Calling, we continue to highlight positive developments that showcase the city’s evolving professional ecosystem and its growing national relevance.
