About Meraki

Meraki, in Greek describes what happens when you enjoy your work that you not only do it with love and creativity but also put a piece of yourself (or your soul) into it. Chambers is simply representative of the offices of a lawyer. MERAKI CHAMBERS thus represents a chamber of lawyers who are passionate about law, focussed on basics and creative in their approach to work. The principles of attention to basics and creative thinking are also reflected in the logo of Meraki Chambers. The core of the letter ’M’ represents books – the foundation of every lawyer’s practice while the ’C’ as depicted in the logo, through creative thinking, represents a modern structure of a corporation or a court house, both essential facets of our practice. Thus, the approach and nature of our work is encapsulated in the meaning of MERAKI CHAMBERS and the significance of our logo.
