Senior capital markets lawyer Madhurima Mukherjee, who had left AZB & Partners in April, has enlisted with J Sagar Associates (JSA) as an independent senior consultant, we understand from several sources.
We have learned that she will focus on expanding JSA’s capital markets practice and team, as well as be involved in training, though it will be a part-time role and she has set up an independent legal consultancy.
We have reached out to Mukherjee and JSA for comment and will update the story when we hear from them.
She has also joined Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) as chief mentor in a part-time role, effectively co-heading IDIA alongside trustee (who is also incidentally a co-founder of legal news website Bar & Bench) Shishira Rudrappa.
IDIA, which works to assist in providing students from non-traditional law backgrounds break into the law schools, said in a statement: “We are excited to announce that Madhurima Mukherjee will be supporting us as chief mentor. Madhurima has been closely involved with IDIA and worked alongside our Founder, (late) Prof. (Dr.) Shamnad Basheer.
“She will use her knowledge and experience to help our trustees and team to structure IDIA’s projects and vision. Madhurima will undertake this role alongside her independent legal practice and other philanthropic initiatives.”
