Indian firm NovoJuris, with a focus on private equity, expands its presence by setting up offices in the United States.

In a significant move, NovoJuris Legal LLC, the U.S. entity of the renowned Indian firm, is proud to announce the appointment of two new partners who will play pivotal roles in its expansion.

Richard Devlin, who previously served as the in-house general counsel at the cryptocurrency company Unicoin, will be operating from Pennsylvania. His primary focus will be on handling corporate and commercial transactions for companies engaged in U.S. business operations.

On the other hand, Harsha Venkatesh, renowned for her expertise in consulting on visa applications across various categories and U.S. permanent residency, will oversee the New Jersey office. She will concentrate on human resources and U.S. immigration matters, with a diverse client base spanning the bio-pharma, IT & ITES, media and entertainment, automotive design engineering, and education sectors in the U.S., India, South Korea, and Japan.

Sharda Balaji, the founder of NovoJuris, will lead the strategic growth and development of the U.S. offices. This expansion marks a significant step for the firm, as the United States holds a crucial position in global commerce and investment.

Balaji emphasizes that the United States functions as a pivotal global hub for commerce and investment, rendering it an ideal location for augmenting our capabilities in supporting technology companies. This includes strategic advisory for structure and entity formation, private placements, exempt offerings in the U.S., investment and exit-related transactions, as well as strategic initiatives like joint ventures and partnerships. Our strategic expansion empowers us to provide our clients with a comprehensive range of legal services tailored to their cross-border requirements. Establishing a presence in the U.S. unequivocally positions us to remain at the forefront of emerging legal trends and regulatory changes on both sides of the Atlantic."
