Professional Profile
A legal career built on enforcement and compliance.
Advocate Subodh Bajpai is a practising advocate at the Delhi High Court and Senior Partner at Unified Chambers And Associates, a legal firm handling enforcement and recovery matters across India. His legal career has focused on compelling compliance from non-compliant parties — a discipline that translates directly to the enforcement-oriented approach RepuLex brings to online content removal.
His educational background combines deep legal training with commercial acumen — an LLM from the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur, one of India's most rigorous management institutions. This dual grounding informs his approach to advisory work: legal matters as business decisions, not isolated disputes.
As a member of RepuLex's Legal Advisory Board, Advocate Bajpai advises on the application of the Information Technology Act 2000, the Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules 2021, and Sections 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code to online content removal matters. He does not handle day-to-day operational work for RepuLex — that is handled by RepuLex's in-house legal team and network of associated counsels.
