JSA has significantly bolstered its corporate and M&A practice with the addition of Amitabh Sharma from NorthExcel Associates. He was previously a partner at JSA from 2005- 2010.
Sharma brings over 25 years of experience, including as managing partner at HSA Advocates and partner at Khaitan & Co.
He brings experience on general corporate, mergers & acquisitions, private equity, projects and financing matters. Sharma sits on the boards of several Indian companies as an Independent Director, both in the listed as well unlisted space.
His clients have included multinational companies, multi/bilateral agencies, financial institutions/banks and NBFCs, private equity firms, and public and private sector entities. He has advised several clients on India entry and divestment strategies. This involved acting on several cross-border transactions, including acquisitions in the USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and Mozambique.
Sharma also brings experience in the projects space, particularly in the infrastructure, energy and public-private-partnerships markets.
“His rare ability to navigate the intricate balance between commercial realities and legal complexities is what sets him apart. His strategic mindset, honed through high-stakes international transactions, will strengthen our corporate and infrastructure practices,” JSA partner Venkatesh Raman Prasad said in a statement.
I look forward to adding significant value to JSA clients, drawing upon my expertise and experience of advising top companies and investors during my tenure with leading firms across India,” said Sharma on rejoining JSA.
