Sanjhna Vivekanand

Education BBA LL.B. (Hons.), VIT School of Law
Jurisdictions India
Sector Depth SaaS, Digital Platforms, M&A, PE/VC
Practice Background Investment Transactions & Go-to-Market Advisory

Sanjhna advises technology companies on product compliance and on the transactions that fund and reshape them. She works with engineering and business teams to structure the licensing frameworks and data processing agreements a product runs on, and she leads private equity investments, strategic acquisitions, and the regulatory structuring that goes with a capital raise.

Before joining Vectis she practised in the technology and product advisory vertical at Peritum Partners, advising startups and mid-market companies on go-to-market readiness and compliance. Before that, at JSA Advocates & Solicitors, she ran due diligence end to end and negotiated definitive documentation on domestic and outbound transactions.

Hirendhar Lakshmanan

Counsel, Founding Team
Core Competence Brand Protection, IP, Data & AI Governance
Education LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law, Queen Mary University of London · B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University, SOEL
Jurisdictions India
Sector Depth AI/ML, SaaS, Developer Infrastructure, Data Platforms
Practice Background Technology & Business Contracts

Hirendhar runs the firm’s brand protection work. He monitors client marks and domains for infringement and takes domain disputes through UDRP and the registrar channels himself; where enforcement has to run wider than that, he instructs and coordinates the specialists.

That work began at Safenames, where he handled domain management and digital brand protection across international portfolios. At Peritum Partners it widened into technology advisory: commercial agreements for digital businesses, API integrations, and data processing frameworks.

He also works on the questions AI platforms raise about consent, liability, and where responsibility sits when several parties share a system. Alongside the legal work he builds and experiments with web data infrastructure.

Vectis was built on one idea: most of what a lawyer can usefully do happens before anything goes wrong. Understanding a product well enough to see where it breaks. Understanding a commercial structure well enough to see why it was built that way. Holding a project to its date. None of that is defensive work; it is the part that makes a business easier to run. Much of this ground is not settled law, and our job is to say plainly where the uncertainty sits and what can be decided anyway.
