Three Generations, One Practice

From a grandfather who served as a judge and a grandmother who practised civil and family law, to a third generation trained in modern legal and compliance disciplines, legal excellence runs in the Kanekar family.

Our Story

The Kanekar family's relationship with the law spans three generations. What began with a grandfather who served as a judge and a grandmother who practised civil and family law has continued through Advocate Prasad Kanekar, who for over 37 years has guided families, landowners, businesses, and housing societies across Mumbai and Thane through redevelopment, property, civil, and family court matters — as well as legal consultancy for enterprises and banks.

Today, that legacy continues into a third generation — trained in modern legal and compliance disciplines — carrying forward the same values of diligence, discretion, and local expertise that have defined the practice from the start.
