Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) Mumbai corporate partner Gurpreet Vasir Ashar has resigned.
We have not been able to confirm where she will be heading.
Ashar is a 2003 NLSIU Bangalore graduate who had joined the firm on graduation.
We have reached out to her for comment but have not heard back.
CAM managing partner Cyril Shroff commented: “We wish her very well.”
Update 18:48: In an article published just now on Bar & Bench, Shroff commented: “She is moving on for a lifestyle choice with our blessings and goodwill. As a law firm we will have lawyers make lifestyle choices.”
Her resignation coincides with that of Mumbai corporate and financial regulatory partner Ipsita Dutta, as reported earlier today.
It also follows CAM’s Mumbai corporate practice losing partner Ashwath Rau and three partners in his team, Ganesh Rao, Dhruv Singhal and Anu Tiwari, who all moved (click to read) to AZB & Partners, and Himanshu Dodeja, who joined (click to read) private equity firm Blackstone in April.
CAM corporate practice partner designate Prerak Ved had joined (click to read) AZB as a counsel earlier this month.

....15 CAM partners who have quit since April. CAM OVER.
Please report this. This is blatant contempt of court.
The story is about a girl who left her firm, but your comment seems to suggest that a boy moved on ... "finally decide you need to move on (from the girl and from where you work)".
Thanks.
Could it be because there's no one -senior- in their HR team after their HR director resigned around 8-9 months ago? And that partners have no senior figure to vent out their frustrations, if any, to? Surely a senior HR head, who could have calmly talked, soothed, discussed, and lent an sympathetic ear to, could have eased some of the the partner pain, which would have resulted in lower number of senior exits?
Also, some consistent rumors about -entire- CAM IT dept soon to be asked to leave as cost-reduction measure. And that HR will follow suit...
@Kian, Any truths? Investigate?
Nothing has changed since the times mill workers used to work here in the mills area without pay or disproportionate pay. Just that workers are now white collared workers or in some cases night walkers (read long hours).
Good point though, had forgotten about this...
