Bharucha & Partners Welcomes Four Partners to its Equity Partnership

Bharucha & Partners is pleased to announce that Kaushik Moitra, Sneha Jaisingh, Swathi Girimaji, and Vishnu Dutt U are now Equity Partners. Each of them has been an integral part of the Firm, leading their respective practice areas and contributing to its continued growth. Their seat at the table reflects the Firm’s commitment to a merit-driven Partnership – where leadership and merit is recognised and responsibility is shared.

Vishnu Dutt U is a founding member of Bharucha & Partners since 2008. Having worked closely with Alka Bharucha during the early years of his practice, he now leads the Equity Capital Markets practice, advising on domestic and cross-border acquisitions, IPOs, and QIPs. With a career spanning decades, he has been at the forefront of some of India’s largest and most innovative capital markets transactions, setting benchmarks in the industry.

Kaushik Moitra, who has been part of the Firm’s New Delhi office since 2017, leads the Regulatory, IP, and TMT practices. Working closely with Justin M. Bharucha, he has been instrumental in expanding the Firm’s presence in policy advisory, regulatory compliance, and media and technology transactions, including licensing, distribution, and revenue-sharing agreements.

Sneha Jaisingh, who began her career at the Firm as an intern, now leads the Disputes Practice. Mentored under MP Bharucha, she has developed a formidable reputation in high-value commercial litigation and arbitration, successfully representing clients before SEBI, SAT, and various High Courts and the Supreme Court of India.

Swathi Girimaji, who also started her journey at the Firm with Alka Bharucha, now leads the Bengaluru office and the VC and Growth Stage Investments practice. She has played a pivotal role in mergers and acquisitions and venture capital investments, working alongside Vandana Pai to enhance the Firm’s investment funds practice while simultaneously establishing a strong presence for the Firm in Bengaluru.

Bharucha & Partners operates with a flat and collaborative leadership structure where each Equity Partner has merit and counts. Through its Guaranteed Partner model, the Firm ensures that Partners are supported as they develop their practice, with a clear and structured path to Equity Partnership. The Firm’s Skills and Trajectory for Efficient Partnership (STEP) programme provides a structured initiative that equips Partners with the skills to build teams, drive business, and shape the Firm’s future. Their now being Equity partners is a direct result of this system, one where structured mentorship, leadership development, and Firm-first thinking define the path to Equity Partnership.

Commenting on this, Managing Partner Justin M. Bharucha said, “Vishnu, Kaushik, Sneha, and Swathi have been an essential part of the Firm for years, and their becoming a part of the Equity Partnership strengthens us all. I am thankful to have them as fellow Equity Partners and grateful for the dedication, integrity, and leadership they bring to the table. All of us look forward to building the future of the Firm together.”

With this, Bharucha & Partners has Equity Partner presence in all three of its offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, and Bengaluru.
