London/New Delhi, October 29, 2020: Harish Salve, one of India’s busiest lawyers – almost a celebrity to some – got married at a quiet church event in London yesterday. Salve is now London-based. The 65-year-old’s bride is London artiste Caroline Brossard (56). Present at the wedding were Caroline’s family members and Camellia and Namita Panjabi, Indian restaurateurs based in the UK. Just 15-odd people, as per rule, were present at the occasion.

The former Solicitor General of India, Harish Salve divorced his first wife Meenakshi in June this year. For Brossard, too, this was her second marriage. She has an 18-year-old daughter from her first marriage. While both are passionate about theatre, classical music, and art, their meeting place was, expectedly, an art event.

Advocate Pratibha Jain was speaking at the session, "Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing (AMLCTF) System in Modern FinTech Industry". Jain, Founder and New Delhi Head of the Nishith Desai Associates, was invited to speak at the Caspian Week, WEF. The conference focuses on the caspian region as a vital element of the future global society and economy.

Harish Salve is a sought-after lawyer. In recent times, he has handled cases such as the Kulbhushan Jadhav case (held in Pakistan), the Vodafone case, the ITC Hotels case, and cases involving the super-rich, such as Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata, and others. In January Salve was appointed the Queen’s Counsel (QC) in England and Wales, an honour rarely bestowed upon non-English lawyers.

Called upon at the Blackstone Chambers in 2013, he was appointed to the English Bar soon after. Then, in January this year, his name was among the silk appointees, being raised to be the QC. Among cases in the fray in Indian courts, he has been handling the Facebook case against the Delhi government and has also been representing the Indian Banks Association in the loan moratorium case.

He has had a strong upbringing. In Nagpur, where he was brought up, Salve’s father, NKP Salve, was a CA, but a more prominent Congress politician. Salve got his LLB from Nagpur University and in 1992 became a Senior Advocate, associated with the Delhi High Court. Seven years later he was appointed the Solicitor General for India. As for his own family, Salve has two daughters, Sakshi (37) and Saaniya (33). They live in Delhi, and with Saaniya pregnant, Salve is soon to become a grandfather.
