The new firm, which recently commenced operations in Mumbai, is led by Sandeep Parekh who, during his time at SEBI, was head of the regulator’s Legal Affairs and Enforcement departments. He was also a member of various committees including the SEBI Committee to study the future of Regional Stock Exchanges, and was chairman of the SEBI sub-committee on integrated disclosure. An experienced securities lawyer who has practised in Washington DC and India, Parekh focuses on securities regulations, investment regulations, private equity, corporate governance and financial regulations.
