Boutique law firm NovoJuris Legal specialises in private equity work, while its intellectual property and M&A offerings continue to gain momentum. In the past seven years, the team – led by two partners – has executed more than 270 private equity-related transactions for both investor and company clients. According to Venture Intelligence reports, the firm is India’s 15th most active legal counsellor in the M&A space. The firm has four mainstays of expertise: Indian startups going the IPO route, alternative investment funds, externalisations and internalisations of entities, and business digital transformations. The firm recently hired IP specialist Varalakshmi Makyam to bolster its IP offering. Founder Sharda Balaji and partner Ashwin Bhat are the key contacts.
