India-based partner of L&S firm leaves and joins JSA in Mumbai city
In a significant move for the legal industry, Shafaq Uraizee Sapre, a seasoned legal professional with over 18 years of experience, has joined J Sagar Associates (JSA) as a retained partner in Mumbai.
Sapre's areas of expertise include Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, and fund investments. She brings a diverse background in legal practice, having worked at multiple prestigious law firms in India, including Bharucha & Partners and Nishith Desai Associates.
Before joining Bharucha & Partners, Sapre served as the head of joint ventures at Nishith Desai Associates. Subsequently, she became an executive partner at Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, where she also headed the corporate practice for the western and southern regions.
Interestingly, Ganesh Chandru and his team of four associates have also left Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan to join Dua Associates in Delhi. It's worth noting that all these firms are based in India.
Dua Associates, where Chandru and his team now work, is based in Delhi, while J Sagar Associates is based in Mumbai. Lakshmikumikaran & Sridharan, where Sapre and Chandru previously worked, is also a law firm based in India.
However, the reasons for Sapre's departure from Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan and the specifics of her new role at J Sagar Associates have not been disclosed.
It's also important to note that recent search results do not provide specific information about key lawyers who have recently left Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan to join other law firms. The focus of these results is on the firm's recent promotions and legal advisories, such as the promotion of nine new partners and their involvement in significant legal transactions.
For detailed information on lawyer movements, it might be necessary to access more specific legal industry news or announcements.
Sapre's new role at J Sagar Associates involves managing finance and business aspects, given her expertise in M&A and fund investments. As Chandru and his team move to Dua Associates in Delhi, it's possible that negotiations for Sapre's role at J Sagar Associates were influenced by business considerations.
