MUMBAI: Trilegal has made a sharp legal move—but in finance. The firm announced the appointment of Giya Diwaan as chief financial officer, handing her the reins of its financial strategy during a time of expansion and digital disruption.

Known for her financial finesse and track record in transformation, Diwaan steps into her new role with over 20 years of experience across M&A, IPOs, fundraising, and global expansion. Most recently, she served as CFO at Dreamfolks, India’s largest travel and lifestyle services aggregator listed on both NSE and BSE.

"We are delighted to welcome Giya to Trilegal. Her multidisciplinary experience and deep understanding of business strategy, financial systems, and regulatory compliance will be invaluable as we continue to scale and innovate,” said Trilegal partners & management committee members Sridhar Gorthi and Nishant Parikh.

Diwaan’s resume reads like a who’s who of corporate India: leadership roles at Ebixcash, Times Internet, PwC, Moody’s, RGP, and Musafir.com. She has led key initiatives spanning digital transformation, capital structuring, and international market entry.

A chartered accountant since 2001 and an alumna of IIM Lucknow’s strategic management programme (2020–21), Diwaan brings academic rigour to her boardroom edge.

"Joining Trilegal presents an incredible opportunity to help shape the future of a law firm already known for its excellence. I’m excited to build a growth strategy that supports scalable progress and empowers the firm to adapt, lead, and thrive in an evolving legal landscape in an exciting era," Diwaan said.

Her appointment signals a deeper push by Trilegal to integrate financial strategy with legal operations—an increasingly essential alignment as the firm eyes sustainable growth amid shifting regulatory terrain.
