You’ve had an impressive journey-from top-tier law firms to leading legal roles in global MNCs. How has your professional experience shaped your approach to legal advisory today?
Thanks. My career, as a corporate and commercial lawyer, has spanned over twenty years across law firm and in-house roles, and each stage has played a significant part in guiding my approach to proactive and business-centric legal support.
I started my professional journey in 2004 at AZB & Partners (“AZB”), New Delhi. I was involved in complex transactional work, including advising on matters pertaining to FDI, joint ventures, M&A, software licensing, and general corporate advisory. In 2010, while in AZB, I had an opportunity to do a secondment with Boeing International Corporation India Private Limited for a year, where I got my first exposure to an in-house legal environment. It was a transformative phase that helped me understand how legal advice fits within broader business objectives, something not always visible from a pure law firm perspective.
