DSK Legal Mumbai senior partner and co-founding member of 14 years, Raksha Kothari, has resigned.

Kothari was part of the founder members of DSK Legal when it was started up in 2001 as a best friend firm of international accountant-consultants Arthur Andersen, and became a partner in 2004. She specialises in corporate and M&A work.

She said: “It’s all amicable, I just wanted to try something different.”

She said she would take several months of time off before deciding on her next move.

DSK partner Anand Desai commented: “We respect her decision and our best wishes are with her.”

She began her career in 1989 at Dhruve Liladhar & Co in Mumbai after graduating from GLC Mumbai, moving to Shah Desai Dojiode and Phatarkphekar in 1997.

Always pleasantly surprised by classy exits. Amicable and professional unlike the Shroff cold wars and enforced gardening leave! Kudos to Anand and all the best to Rachana.

Its Raksha and not Rachana. I hope you're not a lawyer.

Amicable, but emotional I believe! That's definitely end of an era. Best wishes to all.

Just cannot believe Raksha has left DSK , she is so much an integral part of it.
Where would DSK find a person like her.......
I wish Raksha all the best in whatever she does.
