About

Medanta is established with the sole mission to deliver world-class, holistic and affordable healthcare focusing on the development of people and knowledge. The legal team instils this same culture in its work ethic and is led by head legal and clinical affairs Richa Singh, whose work extends beyond just legal affairs as part of the senior management and member of various employee committees. In total, the legal team is composed of five lawyers and one non-lawyer. Speaking on the team culture Singh says the team works on the principle of ‘ownership of the work assigned’, adding, ‘without these facets, ownership of work remains only a concept. The only way I have been able to develop and maintain this principle in the legal department is through leading by my own example. To ensure that the legal team feels a connection and belongingness with the business, we have created a protocol that the legal team is involved in projects from their initiation so that we understand the business needs and contribute accordingly’. Singh also looks to create opportunities for the legal team to interact with members of other business and operational verticals to ensure that they understand the business needs, primary concerns and risk areas in each operational vertical. This enables the legal team to offer a solution-oriented approach for every issue which is both legally sound and business friendly. The team have also trained key personnel on organisational policies for addressing company commitments towards subsidised healthcare for low-income patients, employee safety, clinical and medical ethics and the protection of intellectual property. Some of their key transactions involve setting up a joint venture company along with Duke University in the United States. The team has also successfully handled all legal aspects of Medanta’s bids for the concession for financing, setting up, operating and managing the medical centre at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, in New Delhi.
