For Ankita, learning has always been an ongoing process. While pursuing her professional BSL LLB degree in 2010, she also managed to study and achieve diplomas in Corporate Laws, Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions and Restructuring. She also completed Certificate Courses in Patents and Feminist Jurisprudence.

Ankita started her illustrious career as an intern with D.M. Legal Associates in the year 2008. During her tenure there she was able to gain ample experience in the drafting of Corporate Documents, Red Herring Prospectus, Schemes of Mergers Acquisitions and Takeovers, Joint Venture Agreements, Escrow Agreement, Financial Transaction Documents (including debt and equity), Debenture Trust Deeds, Guarantees, Pledge of Shares and Due Diligence for Companies, Drafting and Conveyance of Immovable Property including Agreement, Conveyances, Leases, Mortgages, Leave and Licenses, Gifts, Development Agreements, Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreements, Slum Related Matters, etc., and other testamentary and non-testamentary matter. Within 8 years, Ankita went from learning the ropes of the trade to taking on the responsibilities of the business as the Managing Partner at D.M. Legal Associates.

Here she adeptly handled the structuring of Contractual Deals and Documentation, including deals relating to the media and hospitality sectors. Ankita even assembled and led a team of professionals who drew up the arguments for Lok Satta Aandolan against the State, MCGM, BCCI and other concerned authorities for Water Conservation and proper policy for Water Consumption for recreational activities, which led to the shifting of the IPL games outside Maharashtra for the year 2016.

Ankita’s love for her work made her take up role of Vice President (Legal) at Jaycee Homes Private Limited in the year 2014. She was responsible for handling all legal matters relating to all the group’s housing projects. During her stint here, she was successful in reducing the pending litigations by nearly 45%, which in turn reduced the company’s litigation expenses considerably. Ankita then went on to set up a specialised legal team from scratch and was also able to consolidate all the company’s scattered data, helping to get a clearer picture of the group’s actual status.
