Shashwat Jha

Shashwat Jha is a corporate and commercial lawyer associated with S.K. Jha & Co. He holds a General LL.M. from Cornell Law School (Ithaca, New York) and a B.Com., LL.B. (Hons.) in Business Law from the Institute of Law, Nirma University. He is enrolled with the Bar Council of Gujarat, has cleared the All India Bar Examination, and is a member of the Gujarat High Court Advocates Association.

His practice spans transactions and deal structuring, commercial contracting, cross-border advisory, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and private investment, banking and finance, real estate, dispute resolution, employment, intellectual property, white-collar compliance and succession planning. Clients at commercial inflection points, whether raising capital, restructuring, entering a dispute or navigating a regulatory proceeding, rarely fit within a single practice area.

His commerce foundation, combined with work on transactions where the tax structure, the financial model and the legal documentation must operate together, informs his approach. He considers how a legal structure will behave financially over time, and how a financial or tax decision creates legal exposure.

His LL.M. at Cornell added exposure to cross-border transaction structures, comparative corporate law and international commercial frameworks, which inform his work on FDI, FEMA, cross-border agreements and foreign enterprise advisory.
