ABOUT

Megha Bhouraskar

Megha Bhouraskar has an international reputation and a client-base spanning continents. While she grew up in New York City and attended Columbia University/Barnard College and the United Nations International School, her childhood summers were spent traveling through Europe, living with her grandparents in Gwalior and Indore, and, visiting friends in Mumbai and Delhi. This background has added several dimensions to her perspective on personal, cultural, ideological and professional fronts. Megha continues to travel regularly to India and other parts of the World while she lives and practices in New York City.

Megha’s foray into law, was initially, for a ‘ticket to earn’ while she wrote fiction and poetry. She was one of the early generation of India female lawyers in the business world in New York. Then, she grew to combine her passion for innovative viewpoints and strategizing for clients, writing and speaking practice, paired with her empathetic coaching, negotiating and transactional skills, all of which sets her apart as one of New York’s most trusted international names in law, business and coaching.

Most of her clients say working with Megha is a comforting experience because she allows them to freely express themselves and to focus on what they do best while she takes care of the rest. Her knowledge, passion, loyalty, empathy and reassuring disposition provides ease to the most frantic of folks.

  • "Megha is incredibly competent, highly responsive, and cost-effective. I was very happy with the quality of her work; her attentiveness and confidentiality. Her ability to handle overseas clients and, understanding their needs was certainly impressive. She always went a step more to make me and my family comfortable.”

    - AMIT PATEL

    Group Managing Director | Sintex Industries Ltd.

  • "Megha is one of the rare lawyers who understands the client needs and responds promptly. She makes the client feel extremely comfortable and looks at every aspect to protect the interest of her client. I would highly recommend Megha and would definitely use her in my future transactions."

    - ANIL BHANDARI

    Senior VP | Morgan Stanley, NY

  • "Megha is the epitome of an excellent mentor! She has taken us in under her wing, which has immediately felt like family. The first time we met with Megha at her office, she set aside at least 2 hours to mentor and feed into the creation of growing our start-up. The manifestation process was natural, her advice was unparalleled, and feedback immediately turned into action. So much so, that exactly a week later her advice around partnering and scaling our model manifested into a de facto partnership with New York’s most premier boxing gym, Dogpound Fitness."

    - MIKE BLUNT

    CEO | Co-Founder | The C3 Method

  • "As a small business, we can’t have in house legal counsel or engage a large multi-disciplined firm on retainer. Megha has been invaluable. She has an excellent business acumen. Megha is quick to understand the issues and offer practical, sound, legal and business advice."

    - FRANK PEDICINI

    Chief Financial Officer | Tetrus Corporation

  • "Megha Bhouraskar has heart and empathy. She has been central to two important events in my life: twenty years ago when she represented me in my divorce and then two and a half years ago when I bought our first home in Manhattan. Megha excels at being a gladiator who fights for her clients when life is uncertain and when one feels vulnerable. I owe her a debt of gratitude. How often can one say that about one’s lawyer?"

    - GEETA MENON

    Dean | Stern School of Business

  • "Megha has been a huge support given that I haven’t lived in the USA for more than 15 years. I trust Megha and have given her a blanket power of attorney. She was the signatory on my closing when I bought my apartment in NYC and also when I refinanced in 2013 – imagine 10 years of complete trust!"

    -TILOMA JAYASINGHE

  • "When we met Megha we had almost no knowledge about the legal aspects of the real estate business in New York City and NY state. She provided us with excellent guidance through the entire process. As our headquarters are in Europe we must rely on her in many issues which might sometimes go behind her contract responsibilities. Megha´s legal practice will attract other foreign entrepreneurs who need somebody like her in a demanding business environment."

    - VACLAV

  • "We first met at the inception of Yash Raj Films (USA) Inc. Megha and I have spent many hours together in our anti-piracy efforts-traveling across the United States.

Her confidentiality, trust and loyalty are some of the factors that have created for a long-standing friendship."
