Bio

I lead Fladgate’s India Desk, and am dual-qualified in England and Wales as well as India. I am recognised by Legal 500, Chambers and the India Business Law Journal for my specialism in cross-border acquisitions and joint ventures. I have particular expertise in advising HNW entrepreneurs and business owning families from the Indian diaspora in respect of their private wealth, and a variety of business interests including real estate, manufacturing, hospitality and leisure. I work with Indian companies, their owners and family offices on cross-border acquisitions, joint ventures and investment and shareholder agreements across diverse business sectors, with particular experience of corporate real estate transactions. I fulfil the role of a trusted adviser to several well-known families from the Indian diaspora, and work with them on their strategic plans and affairs, helping them to effect change to their governance and operating structures in family businesses and trust structures. A lot of my recent work concerns the transfer of business interests from one generation to the next, in a way that meets their commercial and personal objectives. I have a pragmatic approach when advising clients who appreciate my handling of difficult situations with tact, calm and a positive, can-do attitude. I provide innovative commercial solutions to a wide ranging client base, and have enjoyed advising on a range of matters including the sale and purchase of container ships, private jets, helicopters, vintage cars, boutique hotels, restaurants and more. I am a trustee of Sense UK, a national disability charity and Sense International UK, an international non-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting people with deaf-blindness and their families around the world. I am also passionate about equality and diversity in the legal profession, and was awarded ‘Law Firm Leader of the Year’ at the Women Influence & Power in Law UK Awards 2022 and highly commended as a ‘Diversity Champion of the Year’ at the Burberry British Diversity Awards in 2022.
