Darshana Indira

Each month, the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) will be highlighting diverse attorneys from within our community on the DEIC web page to recognize their achievements and contributions. In honor of Diwali (celebrated in the U.S. Oct. 31-Nov. 1 in 2024), a Hindu festival and national holiday across India that celebrates the victory of light over darkness, the DEIC is proud to highlight Darshana Indira, a senior associate at Laredo, Smith & Kane LLP.

She is an employment and business lawyer who advises company owners, organizational leadership and C-suite executives on a broad range of employment and commercial litigation matters.
