MUMBAI : In an unusual move, Sequoia Capital has cautioned its portfolio companies against doing business with Algo Legal, a law firm run by the Silicon Valley venture capital firm’s former general counsel in India. Kapoor was the first lawyer hired by Sequoia when the VC firm appointed him as the general counsel for India in June 2010. Before joining Sequoia, Kapoor was the general counsel in South Asia at Intel Technology and senior attorney at Intel Capital. The Sequoia note did not say what prompted the VC firm to terminate its business engagement with Algo Legal. The VC firm also did not identify the portfolio company where the details against Algo Legal emerged.
