Anusha Arunasalam
Partner
I manage portfolios from start to finish. I have a track record of success in providing strategic advice and guiding clients through the clearance and registration process. I am adept at drafting coexistence agreements and engaging in productive dialogue with other parties. My background, having previously lived in multiple countries, has given me a global perspective and has enabled me to handle complex international assignments with success. I am dedicated to delivering exceptional results for my clients and take pride in the high level of service and support I provide.
I am passionate about my work and always excited by new challenges. I am committed to continuing to provide high quality service and support to my clients to help them achieve their goals. I see myself as an extension of their internal team and take pride in earning their trust and building lasting relationships.
As an active participant in Boult’s vacation scheme and a passionate advocate for diversity in the legal industry, I believe it is essential to provide opportunities for a wide range of talent. Being recognised as a Notable Star by MIP was a great honour, and I am grateful to my clients for their support. I have also been ranked in WTR 1000, 2024 and have been named as a key attorney by the Legal 500, 2023.
