What Lexport does

Lexport is a privately-held Indian corporate law firm founded in 2000 by Srinivas Kotni, headquartered in New Delhi with a Bangalore office. The firm provides consulting, litigation, representation, reputation and crisis management, and wills and trusts services to business corporates, public sector institutions, and private sector organizations operating in or entering India.

The firm operates a relationship-based B2B professional services model with direct client engagement, generating revenue through fee-based legal consulting and litigation mandates priced per matter rather than via subscription or standardized pricing. Its distribution is single-channel and domestic (India), with no marketplace or reseller channels. Customer evidence shows a mix of enterprise MNCs (Honeywell, Baxter, Abbott, Adidas, HCL), government and telecom bodies (C-DOT), trade associations (All India Rice Exporters Association), and SMEs (Ethos Limited, Otus Media). Marketing is content-led via a website, weekly newsletters published since 2013, blog articles, publications, and conference participation including The Global Legal ConfEx. Founder Srinivas Kotni has authored India's first comic book on GST, and the firm has been recognized as a 'Rising Star' by India Business Law Journal.

The business is a private partnership with no external institutional investment, parent company, or disclosed shareholders. There are no funding rounds, M&A activity, or public financial disclosures; revenue figures are not publicly available. The firm employs 51-100 people, including 30+ lawyers, and operates from two Indian cities with no disclosed international footprint.
