Trilegal has taken a strategic move in the banking sector by recruiting Giya Diwaan as the firm's new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Diwaan will be tasked with leading the firm's finances at a point when the firm is growing and facing digital disruption.
Having more than 20 years of experience in M&A, IPOs, fundraising, and expansion across the world, Diwaan is a seasoned transformation and financial management expert. Her last job was CFO at Dreamfolks, India's largest aggregator of travel and lifestyle services listed on NSE and BSE.
"We are pleased to welcome Giya to Trilegal. Her intersector background and good business sense, such as a good understanding of business strategy, financial structures, and regulation compliance, will be greatly useful as we go forward and continue to diversify the manner in which we practice," Sridhar Gorthi and Nishant Parikh, partners and members of the management committee at Trilegal, said.
Giya corporate experience includes leadership roles at reputable companies such as Ebixcash, Times Internet, PwC, Moody's, RGP, and Musafir.com, where she led projects in digital transformation, capital structuring, and international market entry. A chartered accountant since 2001 and an alumnus of IIM Lucknow's strategic management program (2020–21), Diwaan has the combination of academic knowledge along with boardroom experience.
“Joining Trilegal is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of a law firm renowned for its excellence. I’m eager to build a growth strategy that supports scalable progress and empowers the firm to adapt and lead in this evolving legal landscape,” Giya said.
Her appointment is a testament to Trilegal's consistent attempts to balance financial strategy with legal operations, a landmark milestone as the firm weighs long-term expansion against shifting regulatory regimes.
