Band 3
Vijay Sekhon's robust expertise in private equity matters sees him regularly representing private equity funds in M&A deals across a broad range of sectors.

Vijay is highly responsive, effective and efficient from the client's perspective. He is strong with respect to his level of sophistication and ability to execute a deal in the most effective manner possible.

My honest opinion of Vijay is that he is a rare combination of a genuinely patient, honest, nice guy who also happens to be one of the best legal minds I have come across. There are a lot of really smart lawyers, but I truthfully have never felt more genuinely represented than when Vijay was fighting for me.

He's extremely sophisticated and responsive, and he's easy to work with.
