K Law has hired HSA Advocates associate partner Nilesh Chandra as a partner in its Delhi banking and project finance practice.
Chandra - a CLC Delhi University 2007 graduate - had been promoted to HSA’s associate partnership in 2014, after having joined there in 2012 from MV Kini & Co.
HSA managing partner Amitabh Sharma commented: “Nilesh is a fine banking lawyer and have been an important member of our Delhi banking and finance team...of course, its a little sad to let him go, but I am sure he will continue to do well in his new role and new firm. We wish him all the very best.”
K Law has also re-hired Arjun Sharma, who was previously an associate in K Law’s Bangalore office, as an associate partner in Delhi.
Sharma, who specialises in private equity, venture debt transactions, joint ventures and general corporate advisory work, had been running his own practice - Adwitya Legal LLP - independently in Delhi for around two years.
After leaving K Law in 2015, the 2010 Amity Law School (IP University) graduate had briefly joined Luthra & Luthra for three months.
K Law managing partner Naina Krishna Murthy commented in a press release: “With his experience, Nilesh augments the banking and finance practice at K Law. Arjun has been an asset and will continue to be that for us in his fresh innings as an associate partner at K Law.”
Senior partner Pradeep Ratnam added: “Both hires demonstrate heft, experience and our overall excellence across practice areas in Delhi. We are very happy to have Nilesh and Arjun on board and I wish them all success in the firm.”

K Law along with Link Legal and HsA seem to be pros in this game.
Also, I was told by authoritative sources (over a drink at this august watering holde) that they want to compete with CAM and JSA. Therefore, HSA is promoting partner attrition to score higher that CAM and JSA on this matrix.
P.S. K.Law please get your website in order. Everything seems to be under construction.
