Sandeep D. Das had worked on various criminal law matters arising from white-collar crimes as well as other corporate - commercial disputes at Trilegal. He later set up Das Law in 2013.

Arjun Sinha who was previously a senior associate in Trilegal was part of the energy, infrastructure and natural resources practice. Arjun is an alumnus of National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. He is a member of Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa.

Anand is said to focus on the general overview and strategic advice of the new firm, while his co-partners would handle the majority of client work directly.
