Founded in 2015, Veritas Legal’s bread and butter are its corporate and M&A and private equity practices, with its dispute resolution offering rapidly rising in prominence. This year, it moves up in the banking and finance ranking. For its size, the firm punches above its weight, amassing an impressive deal flow and volume last year. It consistently placed within the top 10 of all Indian law firms in respected M&A and PE league tables. Sector-wise, it is deepening its footprint in pharmaceuticals and life sciences, real estate, and technology and telecommunications. Founder and managing partner Abhijit Joshi is a highly respected M&A and private equity lawyer, and partners Rahul Dwarkadas and Neveille Mukerji specialise in dispute resolution. Other key partners include Kunal Doshi, Tushar Raut and Manav Raheja. The corporate group welcomed M&A partner Shubhangi Pathak from Tuli & Co in April 2023.
Client feedback
“They give an overall perspective to the subject-matter. They highlight the legal and regulatory ramifications so well on any transaction. They also give a perspective on the business aspect for us to decide on the key points. They help us to achieve closure on open points with the counterparty by giving alternate options in such a way that are acceptable to the counterparty.” – Private equity

He is quick to give alternative options whenever there is a deadlock with the counterparty on any particular point. He brings a holistic perspective. Always gives pros and cons of an aspect with respect to its ramifications on the points under negotiation with the counterparty.”
