Kochhar & Co Chennai-based partner Hufriz Wadia has joined AZB & Partners as counsel in Mumbai on 16 October.
Wadia will be joining co-founding partner Bahram Vakil’s banking and finance team and will also be focusing on insolvency and bankruptcy. Vakil commented: “Delighted to have Hufriz on board especially for our finance & IBC practice.”
She commented: “I just wanted to come back into banking and have always looked up to Zia and Bahram. Insolvency and bankruptcy is the perfect balance of the varied areas of practice I have done.”
At Kochhar she had worked in the corporate practice group for three years.
