ABOUT US
Bringing Big Firm Expertise to Personalized Advise
‘A’ also represents the first entrepreneurial journey (after close to two decades in one of best law firms in the country), the proverbial first venture - a transactions focused legal practice, by Vishak Abraham.
At Venture A Law, every client directly benefits from Vishak's undivided attention and deep expertise. The experience that AI cannot replace, at least not immediately.
Venture A Law also operates as a collaborative alliance. We seamlessly draw upon a network of highly experienced partners with stellar reputations in their respective fields, ensuring that comprehensive expertise is always at your disposal.
A is for being Above (the trivialities). A is for being Ahead (of the pack). A is for being your Agent (to get the deal done)
Meet the Lead Attorney
Vishak Abraham
“Vishak is a relatively new (but ‘old’) father, a birder, a wildlife enthusiast/ amateur-photographer, a student (of anything and everything), a failed cook, a lazy baker, a believer that anything can be mastered, a lego geek, a star wars fan, a Ringer, a Wire-head Baltimorean by Proxy, a Downtonian, and an LFC supporter since 1999 (YNWA to all fellow Kopites)”
As a transactions lawyer, Vishak has always aimed to be a trusted adviser to his clients in his nearly two decades of experience. He embodies a pragmatic approach to law, consistently prioritizing the successful conclusion of a deal over protracted negotiations and trivial disputes, all while ensuring that no critical detail is overlooked.
His approach to transactions, and to legal training and academia, in some senses draw from the same strengths, i.e. breaking down issues to its most basic components, understanding the requirements and strengths of all involved, and utilising the levers of contractual drafting to achieve the commercial agreement. It is not merely important to protect one’s client, but also to ensure that the counterparty is on the same page - the idea is that these documents are never opened again.
