About the Speaker

Advocate Srinath Sridevan is a Senior Advocate practising before the Madras High Court and is the Founding Partner of HSB Partners, a leading full-service law firm in Chennai. With over two decades at the Bar, he is widely recognised for his expertise in commercial litigation, arbitration, insolvency, and corporate law.

A sixth-generation lawyer, Srinath combines deep legal tradition with a global outlook. He graduated with a gold medal in law from Madras University and went on to pursue an LL.M. from New York University, later working with international firms such as Allen & Overy in London before returning to India to establish his practice.

Beyond litigation, he is a thought leader in the intersection of law, technology, and society. He has written and spoken extensively on artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), and their implications for legal practice and adjudication. His work and talks often explore how technology can enhance efficiency while preserving the core principles of judicial reasoning and fairness, a question that is increasingly relevant as courts cautiously experiment with AI-assisted processes.

Srinath is also deeply committed to public interest and access to justice, having worked on impactful litigation, including efforts to improve conditions for manual scavengers through collaboration with civil society groups.

A frequent speaker and mentor, he brings to his talks a rare combination of courtroom experience, academic insight, and forward-looking engagement with legal technology, making him a compelling voice on the future of AI and the law.
