“We are very happy to welcome Saurya to HSA’s Corporate M&A and Commercial team, which continues to be one of the strong practice offerings of the firm. In addition to his pureplay transactional and advisory practice, Saurya will add an important dimension to and anchor some of our existing and upcoming strategic initiatives centred around specific industry sectors and select international jurisdictions.”
