Khaitan & Co has confirmed the joining of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas principal associate Manisha Shroff in its Mumbai banking and finance practice where she would play a “key role” as an associate partner, according to the firm’s press release.
Legally India had reported the news last month but the firm and Manisha Shroff declined to comment, though Cyril Amarchand managing partner Cyril Shroff confirmed her departure and wished her well.
Rabindra Jhunjhunwala now said in a press release: “Manisha is a highly regarded Banking and Finance lawyer whose arrival will help further strengthen our Banking & Finance practice. The work Manisha undertakes for the firm will not only help maintain the firm’s momentum, but build on its rapidly increasing reputation.”
According to firm’s announcement:
Over the years, Manisha has advised wide spectrum of institutions, including commercial banks, investment banks, NBFCs, export credit agencies, multilateral institutions and Indian corporates on a wide variety of offerings, including external commercial borrowings, offshore financings, bilateral and syndicated financings, acquisition finance, trade finance, structured finance, banking regulation, loan and product documentation, debt recovery, consumer banking, bankruptcy, factoring, payment solutions, securitisation, mergers and acquisitions in the financial services sector and regulatory advice. She has also been involved on various international bond issuances (under Reg S and Rule 144A, high yield and guaranteed, standalone and programmes, Basel III compliant regulatory capital issuances) by corporates and banks and domestic bond issuances (both public issues and private placements, commercial papers and structured products).

Generally, we do proper interviews if there's something newsworthy or interesting. Winning an award in ET Now would not usually qualify as a news peg.
Would you like us to do more fluffy interviews with lawyers?
If yes, vote up this comment, if no, vote down please.
Completely agree with you. Only helps that individual garner more publicity!
Madhurima Mukherjee we did a slightly fluffy one admittedly, but that was because there was interest in what she was up to after leaving Luthra, so it had some 'current affairs' value, and there had been some fundraising event for a good cause and stuff:

Not saying we've never ever done any fluff whatsoever, though we generally try to avoid doing fluffy interviews if possible (though strategically doing them is sound, as fluffy interviews are a great way of getting in lawyers' good books :).
