About

Rajeev Chopra has continued to impress a number of peers since being featured in the inaugural GC Powerlist: India in 2016. As managing director – legal and senior legal business partner he holds ultimate responsibility for legal support to Accenture Global Delivery Centers whilst also being head of legal for India, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for the global management consulting and professional services firm. A key feature of his successful in-house career, which began in 2003, has been considering the sensitivity of business realities while rendering legal support and strategizing risk mitigation for the long term sustained growth and business development of his employers. This strong business mind-set combined with his technical legal expertise and collaborative outlook has ensured he remains one of India’s most respected in-house counsel. These features of his management style also contribute to his ability to develop robust legal teams who have significant input on business affairs at Accenture. In this regard, Chopra had the following to say: ‘I believe that the involvement and contribution of every legal team member in the work of other departments within the organisation encourages not only professional learning and career development, but also fosters a sense of empowerment and inclusion. This has helped strengthen our support to the local business areas and our stakeholders through a strong, robust, strategic and well collaborated approach to [providing solutions] and to ensure that the business receives the best of legal every day’. Prior to joining Accenture in 2007, Chopra enjoyed in-house spells at Dell, Bharti Airtel and LG Electronics.
