A corporate-commercial and civil society lawyer with over three decades at the Bar, commanding an unusually broad practice that straddles high-value transactional corporate work and the specialist domain of not-for-profit legal structuring — across both Indian and international frameworks. Enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi in 1995, Mr. Sharma has advised promoters, investors, and institutional boards through mergers and acquisitions, cross-border joint ventures, and inbound FDI structures, while simultaneously building deep expertise in the legal architecture of civil society.

In the NGO space, his practice spans the full compliance lifecycle of charitable entities — from incorporation under Section 8 of the Companies Act and trust formation, to FCRA registration and renewal, income tax exemptions under Sections 12A and 80G, and structuring of US-equivalent 501(c)(3) entities for Indian organisations operating internationally. He brings pragmatic, board-ready counsel on governance, foreign funding compliance, and regulatory reporting to every engagement.
