He has advised companies in subjects like life sciences, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, media and entertainment, technology, financial services, consumer products, data centre services, manufacturing and green investments.

Prior to joining CAM, Khan was the national corporate lead and equity partner at JSA Advocates and Solicitors, where he was responsible for strengthening JSA's M&A and PE teams, as per media reports.

A holder of a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School and a bachelor's degree in law from the London School of Economics and Political Science, Khan has worked with US law firms, including Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. He is also admitted to the New York Bar.
