About Vikrant
Biography
I'm a transactional attorney. I advise clients who are interested in forming a business or are seeking to enter into a partnership or joint venture with a family member, friend or business partner. I also represent and assist clients in commercial matters, such as those that require the drafting, review and negotiation of contracts, including lease agreements, purchase sale agreements, loan and financing agreements, security agreements, promissory notes, assignments of rents and leases and, as an additional example, franchise agreements. I also provide advice on landlord-tenant matters.
More than the type of law I practice however, is the philosophy which guides my practice of law. My approach is: (i) client-centered and (ii) goal-oriented. Clients (and service to clients) are the single greatest asset of the firm, its main purpose and the reason for its success. Zealous and dedicated representation are not merely aspirational goals; they are the principles underling my practice. I represent my clients and their interests with conviction and resolve.
The fact that my practice is transactional means that I don't need to be overly confrontational; in fact, I'm aware that both parties in a transaction seek a common goal - a "meeting of the minds." My focus is to facilitate a mutually beneficial outcome; a consummated transaction in which the parties have the opportunity to achieve their vision.

Vikrant Dev Bhatia's Lawyer Endorsements
"Vik is a fantastic attorney and diligent professional. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with."

"Vikrant is a skilled litigator with years of experience in litigation. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight for you and get you the results you need, look no further. As a fellow litigator, I am amazed at the wide range of talent levels of attorneys across the DMV. When working with Vikrant, I knew I could rely on his representations and his work product. 5 star attorney is an understatement!"
"Vikrant balanced his duty to advocate for his client with civility and respect toward me and my client. We had several rounds of contract markup as we negotiated terms on behalf of our clients and his work was high quality. Even though we were on opposites sides of the matter, we were able to create a reasonable solution for our two clients that preserved their working relationship. I'm in Richmond and if I need to refer someone to a business attorney in N. Virginia, Vikrant will be high on my list."
