Bio
Tejaswi Nimmagadda
I had the pleasure of working with Sophie whilst she was a Senior Associate at King & Wood Mallesons, and had come off over 5 years’ experience in another leading banking & finance practice in London. Sophie is a highly effective project manager, thoughtful negotiator and skilful draftsperson. Sophie is easy to work with and helps build a positive culture in the immediate and wider teams. No matter how large or small the project, Sophie’s capabilities and positive attitude shines through. I would highly recommend Sophie to any leadership position where these attributes are essential for future success to her team.
