Who is Abhishek Manu Singhvi? The lawyer who fought for Tata Sons against Mistry is now fighting against it
Tata Trusts has hired Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi to oppose N Chandrasekaran's reappointment as Tata Sons chairman and its proposed listing. Notably, Singhvi previously represented Tata Sons in its dispute with Cyrus Mistry. He is also a Rajya Sabha MP and veteran Supreme Court lawyer.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi is a prominent lawyer and former Additional Solicitor General of India who is now representing Tata Trusts in their legal dispute with Tata Sons. The Trusts are challenging the validity of the September 17 board resolution that reappointed N Chandrasekaran as chairman of Tata Sons and opposing the proposed listing of the Tata group holding company.
Singhvi, a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court and a Rajya Sabha member representing Telangana, is known for his deep understanding of governance issues. He previously represented Tata Sons during the Cyrus Mistry dispute and was appointed to the Tata side after Mistry was removed as chairman of Tata Sons. This current litigation may lead to judicial intervention, potentially impacting corporate governance and shareholder rights within the Tata group.
