Before establishing RVR Legal, Vinu Raj gained extensive trial and appellate experience at reputed law firms such as P B Asokan & George C Varughese Associates and MVS Nampoothiry & Associates, where he led client mandates independently and managed litigation teams effectively. His ability to secure results and maintain long-standing client relationships has earned him a strong reputation in the legal fraternity.

PMLA cases before the Special Court at Ernakulam under the Directorate of Enforcement
