Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The team's strength is in its experience in helping clients with negotiations and the resolution of the agreement points.'

  • 'Varun Sriram was highly effective during deal negotiations. His tactful responses encouraged the other side to see reason, and his willingness to concede on minor points helped demonstrate a balanced approach. By asking the right questions and clearly articulating available options, he clarified the objectives and requirements for both parties. The opposing team, represented by a reputed firm and lead counsel, appeared more focused on the legal drafting than on the art of negotiation.'

  • ‘I find JSA Law, and in particular Bhavya Sriram, very knowledgeable, yet at the same time personable and humble. They were up-front and transparent about fees, and there were no surprises.’

  • ‘JSA, Chennai, acts as a sounding board on any complex legal issues that require deep analysis of law and judicial precedents. The firm's M&A knowledge and experience in legal documentation are unique. The firm has a very good diversity with many female lawyers and a mix of both youngsters and experienced people. Their commitment to deliver opinions on time, even without follow-ups, is something that needs to be appreciated.’

  • ‘Varun Sriram's wealth of knowledge and experience is something we can benefit from. We get the required comfort after discussions with him. Their team is well-researched and well-prepared before any meetings. Also, they are willing to listen to our alternate proposals and mend their deliverables accordingly to suit our requirements at the same time strictly in compliance with the law.’

  • ‘We have been working with JSA Law for the past four years, primarily on partnership agreements, commercial contracts, and privacy & data governance matters. What makes their practice unique is the depth of expertise across these areas and their proactive, solution-oriented approach.'
