The law practice was started by Adv. Vinayak D. Govilkar in 1959, venturing into this extremely competitive field, which, as he was told at that time, was already saturated. But, due to sheer grit and perseverence, he was able to establish a name for himself and went to appear in several high profile matters, including ones for the Government of India.
Adv. V.D. Govilkar was later joined by his son, Adv. Rajshekhar V. Govilkar, in 1975, Adv. R.V. Govilkar holds a Masters in Law from Mumbai University and with over 43 years of work experience, he has represented the State of Maharashtra as its Government Pleader at the Bombay High Court, Original Side and is currently on the panel of Advocates of several Government (Central & State) and semi-Government institutions, educational institutions, Universities and even some private bodies.
