Consolidating its place on the rankings, Inttl Advocare is regarded by peers as "highly active this year, especially in trade marks." A client recommends the firm "for its expertise, competence and timely advice. The firm's service is excellent and the advice well researched and on time." Notable clients for the firm include Bennett Coleman, LG Electronics India and Pernod Ricard India.

The team consists of lawyers as well as patent attorneys and is led by managing partner Hemant Singh. Partner Prietika Siingh is praised by a client for "her expert advice on filing of trade marks and copyright and related drafting".

A team led by Hemant Singh represented Nestlé in a trade mark dispute with Yo! China, a Chinese restaurant chain, for the client's use of marks Masala Yo! and Chilly Chow Yo! as descriptors on one of its products. An injunction was refused on the grounds that this was not trade mark use and hence does not amount to infringement.
