The sessions over the three-day course were conducted by senior partners, lawyers and associates from Allen & Overy namely Gautam Narasimhan (Joint Managing Partner, Singapore), William Pickersgill (Counsel, Singapore), Rishi Hindocha (Counsel, Singapore), Scott Lovell (Partner, Singapore), Pallavi Gopinath Aney (Partner and Joint Chair, A&O India Group, Singapore), Harsh Pais (Partner, London), Dhruv Velloor (Associate, Singapore), Serena Upadhyay (Senior Associate, Singapore), Arun Mal (Senior Associate, London), Brenna Speiser (Fuse Senior Manager London) and Adarsh Chhabria (Senior Associate, London).

The course was coordinated by Piya Sawhney (India Practice Manager).

NLU Delhi’s coordinator for the course, Dr. Aparajita Bhatt, Assistant Professor, NLU Delhi said,

“By virtue of our being the host institution, almost half of the students that made up the IFCC 2023 batch consisted of NLU Delhi students, which is a great opportunity for them. Allen & Overy is one of the leading international law firms and the IFCC gives the students a chance to learn directly from A&O lawyers, partners & associates. It also adds value to their profile and some students also go ahead to secure internship & job offers from A&O in the future, thus courses like these assume considerable importance.”
