our TEAM

Founder & Principal Counsel

The practice is led by Sairekha Sureshkumar, Founder & Principal Counsel, who brings nearly two decades of experience advising across corporate transactions, employment law, workplace risk, and governance matters. Her work spans early-stage ventures, established corporates, leadership teams, and professionals navigating complex legal and organisational transitions.
Sairekha began her career at leading law firms including ELP, AZB & Partners, JSA, and Desai & Diwanji, where she advised on mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions, infrastructure projects, and cross-border commercial arrangements. Over time, her practice expanded to include employment strategy, workplace investigations, and risk advisory for high-growth and service-led businesses.

She currently advises founders, general counsel, and senior leadership on structuring, compliance, workforce risk, and dispute strategy, combining big-firm technical training with the responsiveness and discretion of a boutique practice. Her work often involves acting as a strategic legal partner to businesses through phases of growth, restructuring, and organisational change.
