Mukherjee specialises in mergers and acquisitions as well as project finance transactions in the energy and infrastructure sector, the firm said in a statement. He joined HSA this month.

At Shardul Amarchand, Mukherjee worked for 12 years since April 2007 and ended the stint as a partner in the corporate and commercial team. In between, he worked for six months with Australian law firm Clayton Utz in 2011.
