Anthony specialises in M&A, private equity and funds and focuses on work in regulated sectors such as insurance, aviation, financial services and real estate, and has more recently worked on deals in manufacturing, technology, and renewables.

Trilegal partner Charandeep Kaur congratulated Anthony in a press release: “He has continued to impress us with his strong work ethic and his ability to think laterally with a problem-solving approach.”

The 2009 GLC Mumbai graduate is also a visiting lecturer at the IIM Lucknow and co-author of the IFLR India M&A Report 2019. He is dual qualified solicitor of the Bombay Incorporated Law Society and of England & Wales.

Anthony had begun his career at JurisCorp in 2006 as a legal trainee and joined Trilegal in 2011 in Delhi and Bangalore.

He is Trilegal’s 53rd partner, following its promotion of six new partners in March.
