Biography
Abdul Masood is the Principal of LEXQIST Solicitors & Advocates, a Kolkata-based Indian legal practice. He has practised as an Advocate in India since 2006, including before the High Court at Calcutta.
His practice covers commercial, corporate, contractual and dispute-related matters. Over time, his work has developed a strong cross-border dimension, reflecting the growing number of Indian matters that arise within international commercial relationships, technology arrangements and multi-jurisdictional disputes.
He works with Indian businesses as well as with overseas businesses, law firms and professional advisers who require Indian legal support as part of a wider matter.
Practice focus
- Commercial and corporate legal matters
- Contractual advisory, drafting and negotiation
- Cross-border and India-side transaction support
- Technology, SaaS and digital business matters
- Regulatory and compliance considerations
- Commercial disputes and international arbitration
England & Wales connection
Abdul Masood is a Registered Foreign Lawyer with the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales. This registration recognises his standing as a lawyer qualified outside England and Wales.
It complements, but does not replace, his Indian legal practice. He is not a solicitor of England and Wales and does not provide advice on English law. Where a matter requires English-law advice, that advice should be obtained from an appropriately qualified practitioner in that jurisdiction.
