SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — July 24, 2026 —Aprio Legal today announced that Bara Ahmad has joined the firm as a Director in its Corporate Transactions and Restructuring practice. Bara has extensive experience advising businesses across the full arc of their growth journey, from growth transactions and mergers and acquisitions to complex restructurings and litigation.
Bara will advise clients navigating M&A, corporate restructurings, bankruptcy-related matters, and high-stakes contract negotiations. Her transactional and litigation background gives her a well-rounded view of risk that benefits clients especially in dynamic or capital-intensive industries.
“Bara brings the ability to structure a deal and anticipate challenges that could unravel it; and that kind of integrated experience will benefit our clients operating in high-stakes environments,” said Andy Kvesic, CEO of Aprio Legal. “We are thrilled to welcome her to Aprio Legal. She complements our team well and boosts the collective capabilities we bring to clients.”
Bara’s arrival reflects Aprio Legal’s continued investment in building a multidisciplinary team equipped to help clients navigate complex decisions. In June 2026, the firm welcomed attorneys Adam Tucker and James McKain, joining as directors to strengthen its estate planning and corporate transaction practices. Together, these additions reinforce Aprio Legal’s depth across transactional, litigation, and advisory matters.
Bara earned her JD from Emory University and bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University. She is admitted to the State Bar of Georgia and the District of Columbia Bar and is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
