Funds partners Ganesh Rao and Aditya Jha from AZB & Partners are understood to be heading to Trilegal, though we understand that the partnership vote to admit them into Trilegal has not yet completed.
Both Rao and Jha had joined AZB from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas in the 2016 mass-move led by equity partner Ashwath Rau.
We have reached out to Trilegal for comment.
AZB confirmed their leaving, and commented: “We wish them all the very best. And thank them for their contribution to AZB.
“The AZB Funds practice continues to be co headed by our senior partners Sai Krishna Bharathan and Ashwath Rau, along with our partner Pallabi Ghosal.”
Rao had been promoted to CAM’s partnership in 2015, and then joined AZB as a partner, while Jha had been promoted to the AZB partnership last year.
Jha is a 2008 NLSIU Bangalore graduate, who had begun his career at SJ Berwin in London, before moving to Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas in 2012.
Last year, AZB (and former CAM) competition head and partner Nisha Kaur Uberoi had also moved from AZB to Trilegal.

Team was too top heavy. As last 3 years have shown, every move creates a opportunity (both external & internal) for those willing to grab it
Also, wish clients read LI/B&B
A regular GOT episode at BigLaw. Littlefinger, who bit the hand that fed him, got his throat cut a few seasons later. Will Cersei get her just desserts? We'll have to wait for season 8 to find out.
Ashwath: Last market knew was a corporate/PE lawyer
Sai: real estate and corporate

So answer is no full time lawyers
trilegal won't be an easy battle for these spoon feeded lawyers.
Striking back in full force to steady the ship. Shift of power - big-daddy back in control of the funds practice.
Kian- a culture analysis would be good. What say?
Sincerely,
Man next door

The story sold

Cos going across the pond to the big Mumma has proven to be fools gold.
Ash is absolutely not bothered by this move.
If things move at this pace, not many people will be left to rely on the study as they would have already made the move. Reminds of of Amss breakup days when every day there would be news of partner exits from big firms.
