Vaani joined the Celerity team in 2025 and has since developed a practice focused primarily on employment law, business law, contract drafting and review, and debt recovery. She regularly advises and assists employers and employees on a broad range of workplace matters, including disciplinary proceedings, performance management, terminations of employment, compromise agreements, workplace policies, and compliance with the Mauritian employment law framework.
She adopts a practical and solutions-oriented approach to legal issues, assisting clients in navigating workplace challenges while balancing legal compliance with commercial realities. Her work also includes the drafting and review of business agreements, legal opinions, notices and employment-related documentation.
