About the Author – Akbar Sher Khan

I’m a dual-qualified lawyer in England & Wales and New York, specialising in advising international clients on acquiring UK companies. With an MBA from Imperial College Business School and years spent running businesses in both the UK and India, I bring a unique combination of legal expertise, commercial judgment, and cross-border experience.

My hands-on experience, including managing a family business and as a founder of an agritech startup in India, gives me a practical understanding of both markets’ regulatory, commercial, and cultural environments. This lived experience enables me to offer clients not just legal advice, but strategic insight into the realities of cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

I guide clients through every stage of the UK acquisition process, tailoring my approach to their specific commercial goals. Supported by a trusted network of tax consultants, immigration advisers, and finance professionals, I’m able to provide a holistic, end-to-end service.

Clients choose to work with me because I understand both jurisdictions from the inside. I can identify risks and opportunities early, anticipate challenges others may overlook, and help ensure a smooth, cost-effective transaction that aligns with your business objectives.
