Keshav Soni

Keshav Soni is a litigation advocate, and the Founder of Stratum Juris, known for his structured approach to dispute resolution and his ability to take ownership of matters at a strategic level. From early in his practice, he has been consistently involved in complex litigation across courts and forums, building a reputation for clarity in thought, precision in execution and a results-oriented mindset.

His work spans appearances and involvement in matters before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, High Courts, trial courts and specialised tribunals, with hands-on experience in drafting, strategy development and procedural execution. He has handled a range of disputes including high-value commercial recoveries, execution of decrees, cheque dishonour prosecutions and matters involving regulatory and financial exposure.

In Keshav's words, "Stratum Juris was established with a clear objective — to move away from passive litigation and towards a model driven by strategy, control and enforceable outcomes."

The firm reflects Keshav's approach to disputes: structured from the outset, aggressively pursued where required, and always aligned with a defined end-goal.

Litigation, as led by Keshav, is not reactive — it is engineered. Each matter is broken down to its fundamentals: facts, leverage, risk and procedural advantage. Strategy is built early, and execution follows with discipline, ensuring that the client's position is not merely defended, but actively advanced.

Keshav has worked extensively on complex pleadings and superior court matters, including Special Leave Petitions, writ petitions, interlocutory applications and detailed briefing for senior counsel. His exposure spans across statutes such as the Companies Act, PMLA, SEBI regulations and allied financial laws, often in matters involving significant financial stakes and layered regulatory exposure.

A defining aspect of his practice is the emphasis on enforcement. From initiating recovery actions to driving execution proceedings, his focus remains on translating legal victories into tangible outcomes. Matters are handled with continuity and intent, ensuring that proceedings do not lose momentum at any stage.

Keshav works closely with clients in evaluating disputes, identifying leverage and structuring a clear course of action. His advisory is direct and commercially aligned — focused on what can be achieved, the risks involved and the most effective way forward.

As the Founder of Stratum Juris, he leads the firm's litigation practice and overall strategic direction. He remains directly involved in case structuring, key filings and critical stages of proceedings, ensuring that every matter handled by the firm reflects a consistent standard of precision, discipline and outcome-focused advocacy.
