Who We Are

Draft n Craft Law Firm is a full-service law firm in India offering comprehensive legal services across advisory, dispute resolution, regulatory compliance, and transactional matters. The firm is led by Advocate Rakesh Kumar Sharma, whose career spans more than three decades of legal practice before the Supreme Court of India, various High Courts, and regulatory tribunals across the country.

We serve a wide range of clients including domestic and international businesses, first-generation entrepreneurs, resident and non-resident Indians, high-net-worth families, and others.

Our Values

Precision

The law rewards exactness. A poorly drafted clause, an overlooked precedent, or a missed deadline can alter the course of a matter entirely. At Draft n Craft, precision is not a quality we aspire to — it is the minimum standard we hold ourselves to, in every document, every submission, and every piece of advice we give.

Integrity

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. An honest assessment of a difficult situation is more valuable than false comfort, and our clients deserve nothing less. We do not overstate prospects, understate risks, or shade our advice to win an engagement.

Clarity

The law is complex. Our job is to make it clear. We communicate in plain, direct language so that every client — regardless of their legal background — understands their position, their options, and the likely consequences of each. Clarity is not a courtesy. It is a professional obligation.

Accountability

When a client places a matter with Draft n Craft, they are placing their trust in us. We take that seriously. We are available, we are responsive, and we own the outcomes of the advice we give. There is no passing of responsibility here.

Excellence

We do not accept mediocrity in any form — not in our research, not in our drafting, and not in our conduct before courts and tribunals. Excellence is a daily practice.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Draft n Craft, we believe the strongest legal thinking comes from a team that brings together different perspectives, backgrounds, and lived experiences.

Our firm is home to advocates, corporate lawyers, IP specialists, and business professionals from across India and beyond. We have built a practice where professionals at every stage of their career — from senior partners to first-year associates — are given real responsibility, genuine mentorship, and the space to develop their own voice.

We are committed to building a workplace where talent is the only criterion that determines opportunity. Gender, background, language, and geography do not determine who advances here. The quality of your thinking and the integrity of your conduct do.

We are equally committed to serving a diverse client base. Our NRI practice, our work with first-generation entrepreneurs, and our family law practice place us in close proximity to clients whose legal needs are deeply personal. We approach every one of these matters with the same professional respect, regardless of the size of the matter or the background of the client.

Corporate Responsibility

Draft n Craft Law Firm recognises that a law firm's responsibility does not end with its clients. It extends to the profession, to the communities it serves, and to the legal system that makes its work possible.

Access to Justice

We believe that quality legal counsel should not be the privilege of the few. We periodically take on matters on a pro bono basis for individuals and organisations that cannot afford legal representation but have genuine and important claims. We are committed to expanding this work as the firm grows.

Strengthening the Profession

Our founding partner actively contributes to the development of the Indian legal profession — through his role at the Services Export Promotion Council, through participation in national and international legal conferences, and through writing and speaking on issues that shape the future of Indian law. We encourage every member of our team to invest in the profession beyond their daily practice.

Legal Awareness

Many Indians — particularly first-generation property owners, small business operators, and NRIs — encounter the legal system without any prior understanding of their rights or obligations. Through our Insights practice and our client communications, we are committed to making legal knowledge more accessible, more understandable, and more useful to the people who need it most.

Responsible Practice

We operate with a clear sense of the ethical responsibilities that come with legal practice. We do not take on matters that conflict with our professional obligations, we maintain strict confidentiality in everything we do, and we conduct ourselves before courts, tribunals, and counterparties with the decorum that the profession demands.
