About

Sabira Amjad Kadri joined The Phoenix Mills in 2012 and assumed her current position of vice president legal in 2016. Prior to joining she worked at Mahindra & Mahindra and has also served as head of legal at Vidyut Metallic (Supermax Blade Group). During her tenure at The Phoenix Mills, Kadri has negotiated high value contracts which have earned him significant praise by peers. She has also formulated detailed standard operating procedures for documentation, record keeping and approval processes and conducted in-house training whilst also mentoring team members on how to achieve greater roles in the organisation. ‘To achieve closure of documentation with a win-win strategy is only possible with great support [from the] business team and understanding the nuances of business’, she says. She identifies that, ‘it is very important to identify the talent within the team and prepare the team for future goals. Success only comes with a team and not alone. As I believe that behind every successful in-house counsel there is hardworking team’. Despite this modesty, nominators were keen to highlight Kadri’s business-focused legal skills during this year’s research process.
