It has been a long and pleasurable journey..After spending a good 19 years at Wadia Ghandy, I was looking for a bigger platform to expand my practice. I met JSA’s Senior Partner and Joint Managing Partners and the Disputes PA Chair in Mumbai and thereafter the Chairman Jyoti Sagar and other senior partners and there was an instant connect. I felt that this is the organisation I was looking for to expand my practice and grow. Most crucially, JSA was very comfortable with also absorbing my team.”.Confirming Farid’s joining, JSA Joint Managing Partner Dina Wadia, said,.“We are delighted that Farid is joining us. In the small and settled pool of senior litigators in Mumbai, it is not easy to find someone who is highly experienced, well regarded and most importantly for us, a cultural fit. It has been well worth the wait. He brings most of his team with him which is also a big plus. “.Having spent nearly two decades at Wadia Ghandy, Karachiwala is also on the firm’s Management Committee along with Bindi Dave, Marylou Bilawala, and Shabnum Kajiji..Karachiwala leads the firm’s litigation practice. He appears in the High Courts and the Supreme Court, and also focuses on domestic and international arbitrations.
