Dr Sarvam Ritam Khare, a practicing Advocate on Record in the Supreme Court of India, is an acclaimed legal practitioner and a proactive voice for legal education and society.
As a founding partner of Ace Legal, a full-service law firm established in 2014, Dr Khare has carved a niche for providing expert and efficient legal services across diverse legal streams and has been part of many high-profile cases and cases of social importance, particularly for home buyers.
Ace Legal's commitment to social responsibility is evident through its dedicated arm, the Initiative for Social Justice (IFSJ). IFSJ has relentlessly strived to bridge the gap between legal complexities and ordinary citizens by disseminating legal knowledge in easy-to-understand language as well as extending legal aid and advice to needy ones.

One of their key goals is to advocate for including Law and the Indian Constitution as compulsory subjects in school and college curriculums, empowering future generations with essential legal awareness.
IFSJ has been extending legal aid on and off courts, wherever needed. During COVID-19, one of the notable works was to assist and help the safe return of stranded students and individuals to their homes by being their voice of need and supporting the PIL for the supply of COVID-19 medicine and testing kits. They have also championed the cause of unemployed youth in Madhya Pradesh, successfully bringing their plight regarding land acquisition for jobs before the High Court. These are just a few examples of IFSJ's dedicated commitment to providing legal aid and assistance to those in need across India.

Speaking to Dr. Khare, his belief in law as the most potent instrument of social change is remarkable. According to him, introducing and developing virtual courts and the Chief Justice’s initiative to make judgments available in regional languages are two revolutionary steps. With virtual sessions, the reach of the constitutional courts has enormously widened, making everyone understand the workings of the court efficiently. It can be strengthened through the availability of judgments in regional languages.
The wider the legal attention, the stronger the society becomes. This practice will call off colonial influence and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
