Founder & Principal Advocate

Advocate Ameya Anil Dange is the founder and principal advocate of Juris Wiz, a litigator and corporate counsel whose work has helped shape legal precedent in India.

With roots in Hingoli and formative training under Advocate C. P. Sengaonkar, a renowned criminal lawyer in Aurangabad, and distinguished seniors including Advocate Harshad Nimbalkar and Advocate Prashant Patil, he developed deep expertise across criminal law, civil litigation and corporate jurisprudence. In 2014 he worked with Advocate Sudhir Shah, where he honed the art of cross-examination and began representing cases independently.

Building an independent practice, he was soon thrust into the limelight by taking on India's first cryptocurrency case, interpreting the Indian Penal Code, the Information Technology Act and the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act to successfully represent investors. The matter became a precedent for state investigating agencies, the CBI and the ED, and earned him appointment as special legal counsel for cryptocurrency cases under the Nagpur Police Commissionerate. On 15 August 2021 he formally established Juris Wiz.
