Commenting on the appointment, Akshit Goyal, Founding Partner at Goyel & Goyal, said,

“Saumay’s joining significantly bolsters our existing capabilities across regulated and high stakes sectors. It comes at a time when new regulatory frameworks such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, along with India’s increasing focus on self reliance in critical and frontier technologies, require more integrated and forward-looking legal advice across practice areas.

With over a decade of experience in highly regulated sectors, and the perspective of having been on both sides of the table – in a law firm and as inhouse counsel – Saumay’s joining meaningfully enhances our ability to translate legal advice into effective business outcomes for our clients. His addition represents an important next step in our evolution as a new age full service law firm with the capability to advise seamlessly across sectors and regulatory regimes.”
