About Sreelekha

Lekha believes that no two clients are the same, and her practice focuses on providing non-generic solutions to entrepreneurs and startups on business formation, startup planning, and capital raises. She also regularly provides ‘outside in-house’ counsel services and has been a trusted team player and counsel for many small and medium-sized businesses, advising them on drafting and negotiating a wide range of business agreements, regulatory compliance and risk assessments, employment issues, dispute resolution, and other general corporate matters.

Growing up, Lekha was constantly encouraged to analyze, reason, and debate and as a result, she developed a strong sense of justice and fairness. Becoming a lawyer was a logical culmination of these childhood values and influences, which continue to inform and enrich her lawyering. Prior to M&T Legal, Lekha owned her own solo practice focused on business law, which helped her find her niche and lay the foundations for much of her practice today. She completed her Masters in Law from UC Berkeley and holds a bachelor’s degree in law from NALSAR, one of the top law schools in India. She began her career at the prestigious Indian law firm, Amarchand & Mangaldas, where she advised top private equity funds on cross-border investments and represented leading merchant bankers on securities offerings by prominent Indian companies. Before relocating to the US in 2012, she also worked as a M&A lawyer in PwC where she advised multinational clients across industries. Moving to the United States opened up new horizons but also presented several challenges including passing the California Bar, getting a foothold in Silicon Valley’s extremely competitive professional space, and navigating a new life in a new country; in retrospect, it is these very experiences that set her up for growth, both as a lawyer and as a person.

Lekha loves exploring and experiencing the outdoors with her husband, Alexy and son, Abhay. Lately, she enjoys making short movies with her husband (who is a photography enthusiast), combining her music and choreography interests.
