Adv. Saveena founded Lawhive Associates in June 2012, by working out of coffee shops.Within a short span of 3 years, the law firm has emerged as a premier intellectual property, media & entertainment law firm headquartered in Mumbai and having associates in several cities across India.The firm has been trying to dedicatedly create an affordability factor for clients, which is still uncommon in the industry.The firm’s in depth understanding of legal matters has provided it with the advantage of creating strategies that maximize cost saving, and at the same time deliver efficient solutions.A decade ago clients had just two ways of tackling their IP related challenges, ask their in-house lawyers to deal with them or engage large expensive law firms to tackle them. While this was effective till some years ago, considering the limited platforms available for broadcast and telecast of content, the same started becoming a challenge for companies and individuals due to the evergrowing technical developments and amendments in applicable laws. This is where Lawhive Associates stepped in with its legal services. Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy – Owner - The Open Iris commented, “Saveena genuinely understands the issues of creative people, their abilities and inabilities, and works around them. She's a realist, and doesn't believe in making false promises. But for me, the most striking thing about Saveena and her work is her level of empathy that, in a world inundated by paperwork, unending documentation and the winding corridors of India's judiciary, is a rare and warm quality."
The firm’s clients are the leading players in entertainment mediums, marketing services, theatre, and publishing industries. The firm’s clientele also includes some of the prestigious names belonging to the popular Bollywood industry. R.D. Telang, a senior writer who also writes for the famous Television Show “ Kaun Banega Crorepati” wrote about collaborating with Lawhive Associates, “My association with Saveena / Lawhive Associates has not only given me a deep insight about my rights as a writer but also ensured I get my due in the best of my interest. I now feel protected and confident that my professional portfolio is in safe hands.”
Clients demand value and a choice of legal solutions that goes beyond just traditional law firm services - they also want convenience, consistency and high quality. Adv. Saveena and her team at Lawhive Associates intend to use their intimate knowledge of the sector and its players as well as their experience in dealing with all types of media transactions and disputes, to grow and enhance their operations on a global scale to emerge as the Most Admired Law Firm.
