About

Shujath Bin Ali, a legal professional with over 14 years of corporate experience, has a skillset that has been put to the test across diverse sectors during the course of his career. After receiving his LL.B. from Osmania University in 1999, Bin Ali moved through a raft of high-profile in-house legal roles, including Valtech, International Paper and Deloitte. Throughout these roles, Bin Ali combined his legal responsibilities with company secretarial work, allowing him to amass experience in both areas. This provides Bin Ali with a wealth of both legal and business acumen to draw upon, which has meant his strategic business advice has been highly regarded by the management of his companies. In May 2016 Bin Ali moved into his current role as senior director for legal and risk management at PAREXEL, one of India’s leading biopharmaceutical companies. His move to the pharmaceutical industry provides a further opportunity to prove that his transferable expertise is able to add value to the in-house legal function of multiple sectors. Bin Ali is keen to use his experience to benefit academic matters, in order to add to the knowledge base of the legal profession as a whole: he is part of a number of professional bodies for corporate counsel and business people, including sitting as a member of the executive committee of the Indian Corporate Counsel Association.
