Babita Ambekar has joined international law firm CMS as a corporate partner and head of the India desk in the firm’s Singapore office.
Ambekar joins from DWF, where she was a Singapore-based partner and global head of the firm’s India practice.
Ambekar advises on transactions for clients across a broad range of industries, including technology – with a specific interest in FinTech, HealthTech, Food & AgriTech and InsurTech – energy (renewables), life sciences, retail, food and hospitality. Her clients are primarily based in Asia Pacific, with the majority in Southeast Asia, India and Japan, and include publicly listed entities, private entities with a regional presence, and multinationals.
“We are pleased to welcome Babita to CMS,” said Toby Grainger, managing partner and head of corporate at CMS in Singapore. “Her arrival is a wonderful opportunity for the firm to continue to grow and develop its offering in the Asia Pacific region, and we are very happy to introduce an APAC-focused India desk to our Singapore office. As emerging economies in Asia continue to see investment inflows, Babita’s appointment expands the firm’s broad bench of transaction and geographical experts and strengthens our capabilities in offering clients top-tier advice across a range of sectors.”
