Associate (Corporate) at Wadia Ghandy & Co., Mumbai [2-3 Years PQE]

Wadia Ghandy & Co. was established in 1883 and is one of India's oldest law firms. It works from a pan-India network of offices, with its principal office at N.M. Wadia Buildings on Mahatma Gandhi Road in Fort, Mumbai, and it advises domestic and international clients across corporate, disputes, banking and property practices.

The firm has announced that it is hiring for its Corporate practice. The position is that of an Associate based at the Mumbai office. The firm has not stated how many positions are open.

The announcement asks for an Associate with 2-3 years PQE who brings:

• experience in general corporate and commercial matters;
• experience in mergers and acquisitions;
• experience in private equity and venture capital transactions; and
• the ability to draft and negotiate transaction documents.

This is a lateral hire, not an entry-level role. It suits a qualified lawyer already practising in a corporate or transactional team who has roughly two to three years of work behind them since enrolment. Law students and fresh graduates are outside the stated experience band. Candidates who want to be considered for internships or paralegal work at the firm should use the separate internships route on the careers page instead.

The firm has not disclosed the salary for this position and has not announced a last date to apply. Applications appear to be accepted until the role is filled, so an early application is sensible. Anyone who wants clarity on pay should raise it with the firm directly rather than assume a figure.

Send your CV by email to careers@wadiaghandy.com using the subject line the firm has specified: Application - Corporate Associate (2-3 PQE). The subject line matters, because the same inbox receives all lateral and articled-clerk applications and the line is what routes yours to the Corporate practice. Make sure your CV states your year of enrolment and sets out your corporate, commercial, M&A, private equity and venture capital work clearly, since that is the whole of what the firm has asked to see.
