Meet Harshita

As a dual qualified solicitor, I work on complex and high-value transactions involving asset and share sales and purchases for a diverse range of clients. This includes leading on the due diligence and disclosure process, negotiating the terms and assisting with closing on the transactions. I have supported clients across a wide range of sectors (both in the UK and internationally) including insurance, IT, retail, hospitality, transport, agri-tech, telecommunications and aviation.

In addition to the above, my experience includes working with clients to assist them with loan agreements, investment agreements, distribution agreements, reseller agreements and other commercial contracts.

I also assist clients in drawing up commercial terms and conditions and policies for their businesses. I regularly support clients across the aviation, professional consultancy, IT and education sectors with drawing up such policies and procedures for them. In addition, I also advise my clients and support them with GDPR and data protection issues and cross-border data transfer agreements.
