K. Datta & Associates Strengthens Capabilities Through Strategic Merger
New Delhi, [India], May 28, 2024: K. Datta & Associates, a premier multi-practice law firm, today announced the merger of boutique litigation house SSRA Legal into its fold. This strategic move bolsters K. Datta’s dispute resolution capabilities while broadening the firm’s expertise across corporate advisory, transactions and taxation.
Founded in 2000 by the visionary Advocate Krishnendu Datta, K. Datta & Associates was established with the vision of being an agile and dynamic legal practice delivering bespoke solutions. The firm has steadily grown into a formidable full-service entity driven by an illustrious leadership, while continuing to draw inspiration from the legal heritage instilled by its founder. In 2021, Krishnendu Datta stepped down from his role in the firm after being designated as a Senior Advocate, leaving behind a legacy of excellence.
SSRA Legal was founded by Sonam Sharma, who has joined K. Datta & Associates as a Partner, along with his team. The merger allows the combined entity to offer clients a comprehensive suite of legal services backed by subject matter experts across practice areas and sectors.
“This is an exciting phase in our journey of evolution and growth,” said Manish Kumar Srivastava, Managing Partner at K. Datta & Associates. “Sonam’s vast litigation experience complements our existing corporate advisory strengths remarkably. As an integrated firm, we aim to provide unparalleled client service through sector-focused legal and strategic solutions, building upon the foundation laid by our founder Krishnendu Datta.
The merger reaffirms K. Datta & Associates’ commitment to being future-ready by continually augmenting its talent pool and service offerings. The firm’s professionals now bring greater cross-practice collaboration to the table, ensuring holistic guidance for clients’ legal needs.
“I am elated to partner with the team at K. Datta & Associates,” commented Sonam Sharma. “While our litigation capabilities achieve new scalability, we also gain the ability to advise clients on the entire gamut of corporate requirements ranging from transactions to disputes. I look forward to leveraging our combined expertise for delivering enhanced value.”
The integrated firm concurrently concluded a brand transformation exercise helmed by Manas Dowlani, Principal Consultant at Straxn Consulting. “We are proud to have orchestrated this merger enabling K. Datta & Associates to comprehensively meet the needs of India’s rapidly evolving business landscape,” stated Dowlani. “Their redefined brand identity now accurately reflects the firm’s progressive vision, heritage and commitment to collaborative client partnerships.”
