Rana & Co., in the Chambers Asia-Pacific 2026 guide in two individual categories for India: Band 3 for Intellectual Property and Band 3 for Intellectual Property: Litigation.

About Chambers and Partners
Chambers and Partners is an independent legal research publisher headquartered in London that has published guides to the legal profession since 1990. Chambers Asia-Pacific covers law firms and lawyers across the region, including India, by jurisdiction and practice area.
How the research works. Rankings are based on independent research, chiefly interviews with clients and with other lawyers active in the market, together with an assessment of recent work. Feedback is anonymous, and rankings are reviewed by Chambers’ senior research team rather than decided by individual researchers alone.
Inclusion cannot be bought. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the research findings, and a ranking cannot be purchased.
The band system. Ranked firms and lawyers are placed in bands from Band 1, the highest, down to Band 6. Within each band, firms and lawyers are listed alphabetically rather than in order of merit.
What Vikrant Rana’s rankings mean
Chambers ranks India’s IP lawyers in two separate tables, so a lawyer can be ranked in one, the other or both:
| Chambers category | What it covers | Vikrant Rana in 2026 |
| Intellectual Property (India) | The overall IP practice, including prosecution, portfolio management, advisory and enforcement across patents, trademarks, copyright and designs | Band 3 |
| Intellectual Property: Litigation (India) | Contentious IP work, including infringement and passing-off suits, injunctions and other disputes before the courts | Band 3 |
Being ranked in both tables reflects a practice that covers advisory and contentious work alike, and his long record shows sustained endorsement from clients and peers over more than a decade.
What Chambers says
Chambers notes that Vikrant Rana in Delhi is singled out by sources for his “extensive experience and significant client portfolio”, and that he is often sought out to appear for clients in a variety of IP litigation matters.
