The player auction is scheduled for May 3 at The Suryaa, where participating players and esteemed members of the legal community will gather. This event is anticipated to attract significant attention due to its unique format and the ownership it offers to participants.

The league will showcase eight prominent franchise owners from the legal sector, including:

Amarjit Singh Chandhiok, Senior Advocate

N. Hariharan, Senior Advocate, President, DHCBA

S. Muralidhar, Senior Advocate

Vivek Sood, Senior Advocate

Navin Pahwa, Senior Advocate

Amit Chadha, Senior Advocate

Shrey Sharawat, Advocate, Member Executive, DHCBA

Mohit Gupta, Advocate, Delhi High Court

These distinguished figures will not only participate in the auction but also lead their respective teams, adding credibility and a competitive edge to the league.

The LawStrings Pickleball Premier League is a pioneering initiative designed to foster fitness, well-being, and community engagement among legal professionals. By integrating sports with structured formats like auctions and franchise teams, LPPL is redefining interactions within the legal community. In a field often characterized by long hours and stress, such initiatives provide a much-needed outlet.

Shubham Malhotra, the Founder of LawStrings Management, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, stating, “With LPPL Season 2, we are making significant strides in cultivating a culture of wellness and community among legal professionals. The launch of India’s first pickleball auction for lawyers embodies our commitment to innovate beyond traditional formats and create engaging platforms for our peers. We believe this season will be larger, more competitive, and will further enhance camaraderie within the legal ecosystem.”
