About

Rohit Kumar is an eminent and well respected in-house lawyer whose achievements have seen him singled out for praise by the industry press. After completing his university education, Kumar rose through the ranks at commercial legal firm J. Sagar Associates (JSA) before moving on to Herbert Smith Freehills’ Melbourne offices. Kumar amassed a wealth of knowledge of cross-border transactions, as he was tasked with supervising deals originating in Australia for the Southeast Asian market. This experience stood Kumar in good stead for a role as an in-house legal professional, and after two years at Herbert Smith Freehills, he moved on to his current role as general counsel of UPL, a leading global producer of crop-protection products. Along with putting his transactional experience to good use, Kumar is responsible for negotiating contracts and protecting UPL’s interests in strategic disputes. A source described Kumar as a ‘very hard-working and sincere’ legal professional, who ‘knows how to tackle the toughest of situations calmly’. This, combined with the scale and complexity of deals he has been involved with over the course of his career, makes Kumar the ideal person to shoulder the responsibilities of operating at an important company such as UPL.
