At Desai & Diwanji, I authored a memorandum on SEBI’s Alternative Investment Funds Regulations that was used to advise an AIF client on manager restructuring. I also prepared a client-facing compliance note on India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
My internships at Trilegal, Kochhar & Co., and AZB & Partners covered financial regulation, corporate governance, M&A documentation, and insolvency research.
