Suri & Company has declared October 1 as its founder's day in memory of late Senior Advocate and former Additional Solicitor General (ASG) of India RS Suri.

This year, the firm celebrates 40 years of its establishment under the leadership of RS Suri.

Rupinder Singh Suri was born on October 1, 1951, in Ludhiana, Punjab. After earning his Master’s degree in Economics from St. Stephen’s College and completing his law degree at Delhi University, he embarked on a legal career in 1976.

In 1984, he founded Suri & Company, which would later grow into a firm that has trained and mentored over 500 lawyers practicing across India.

Suri was designated as a Senior Advocate by the Supreme Court in 2009 after having practiced as an Advocate on Record (AoR) since 1981.

Throughout his career, Suri held several prestigious positions, including President of the Supreme Court Bar Association in 2017. He also served as Standing Counsel for the State of Punjab from 1987 to 2003, representing the State in high-profile cases such as the Satluj Yamuna Link Canal dispute and terrorism-related matters during the insurgency period.

In 2020, Suri was appointed Additional Solicitor General of India, a position he held until his unfortunate passing in 2022 due to COVID-related complications.
