Where legal clarity informs decisions, legal strategy builds momentum, and legal structure powers growth.
I believe business owners deserve legal counsel that’s as cutting edge as the ventures they’re building. I founded The Legal Studios for founders who are building bold, impact-driven ventures that shape industries and challenge conventions.
I specialize in international legal strategy—helping founders and companies navigate the complexities of cross-border frameworks, regulatory systems, and cultural nuance. My approach is shaped by lived experience across Lausanne, London, New York, Mumbai, and New Delhi, allowing me to translate legal systems into strategic advantage for globally ambitious ventures.
I also bring strategic insight to select emerging sectors where regulation is evolving and innovation demands foresight.
My legal strategies are designed to protect what you’re building and empower you for what comes next. Whether you're scaling a global supply chain, setting up an international brand, launching a highly regulated wellness company abroad, or entering a new market, I offer more than legal advice—I offer strategic partnership. I translate legal complexity into clarity—so you can lead with confidence, protect your vision, and grow with intention.
Legal strategy should feel like momentum, not a roadblock.
Let’s shape what’s next—together…

About Me
I’m Manisha, the Principal Legal Strategist at The Legal Studios—a boutique practice built for visionary founders shaping the future of international business, wellness, and emerging industries. I’m an international business lawyer.
My core expertise lies in international legal strategy—guiding founders and companies through the complexities of cross-border frameworks, regulatory systems, and cultural nuance. With a global lens shaped by lived experience across Lausanne, London, New York, Mumbai, and New Delhi, I approach law not just as a set of rules, but as a cultural and commercial language. Each city has deepened my understanding of how legal systems intersect with business norms, interpersonal dynamics, and global ambition. This perspective allows me to offer guidance that’s not only technically sound, but culturally fluent and commercially strategic—tailored for founders building across borders.
I help founders turn legal complexity into clarity—crafting legal strategies that feel aligned, empowering, and purpose-driven. With empathy and precision, I handle the legal so you can focus on building your vision.
My approach weaves strategic legal insight with practical, founder-friendly dialogue—so you feel supported, informed, and empowered to move forward with confidence. I offer more than legal advice—I offer strategic partnership.
At The Legal Studios, legal isn’t just a service—it’s how you make your vision becomes reality.
