§ The story
A mind for mysteries.
Siddhant has always been drawn to solving mysteries — whether that means untangling a complex legal dispute, mapping out a founder's next big move, or working through a case alongside Sherlock Holmes and The Mentalist on a slow evening. That instinct for connecting the dots, staying a few steps ahead, and treating law as a game of strategy and logic is what led him to build Is It Legal Sid.
Today, Is It Legal Sid operates as a modern, strategy-first law firm with a presence across India, the US, Dubai and Singapore — built specifically for Web3 pioneers, startups and businesses that need legal thinking to keep pace with how fast they move. In 2024 alone, the firm recovered over $10M in assets for clients worldwide, across industries spanning Web3, finance, healthcare, tech, IP, real estate, retail and aviation.
§ What the firm does best
Five things we are known for.
- Web3 & startups — SAFTs, SAFEs, IP protection, taxation and compliance.
- Dispute resolution & arbitration — keeping businesses out of court, or winning when they're in it.
- Consumer advocacy — taking on corporate giants when they get it wrong.
- Cybercrime & white-collar defense — because digital crime is the new frontier.
- Narcotics & criminal defense — prepared for when the stakes are highest.
Outside of legal battles, Siddhant is usually reading, picking up a new skill, or watching anime. He's always up for a conversation about law, business, or why Sherlock Holmes would have made a genuinely excellent lawyer.
