Rinki Ganguli is a Managing Director with the Brookfield Private Equity Group, leading transactions across India and the Middle East. She collaborates from the outset with investment, risk, audit, and compliance teams to shape deal structures, navigate regulatory approvals, and drive value creation from origination through to post-close integration. She also leads sensitive investigations, governance matters, and dispute management, develops scalable solutions for regional platforms, and maintains high-trust relationships with external counsel and other stakeholders.
  
What are the most significant cases, projects and/or transactions that you and/or your legal team have recently been involved in?

Over the past year, my team’s work has encompassed three broad areas. First, end-to-end transaction execution on complex deals: partnering with deal teams from pre-LOI diligence through signing and closing to calibrate transaction structures, address potential red flags, and negotiate deal documentation.

Second, portfolio value protection and governance: supporting post-close integration with a risk-focused approach, coordinating with audit and compliance teams, handling whistleblower and sensitive investigations, and designing pragmatic remedies as required.

Third, regional enablement: working closely with local advisors to codify jurisdiction-specific do’s and don’ts, align on regulatory pathways, and ensure documentation reflects market practice, particularly in newer or rapidly evolving markets. I also continue to collaborate with global legal and regulatory colleagues on cross-border issues and process improvements.

How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience? 

During periods of instability or crisis, the priority is to stabilise the operating environment through interim controls, establish clear workstreams, and avoid compounding risk. Our approach is hands-on and solutions-driven, with a focus on timely decision-making that balances legal exposure with commercial impact.
