Gravitas’ Lajpat Nagar Delhi office, according to its website, is the same office as KSP’s second Delhi office. KSP partner Sujeet Das has moved with Sud to be a partner in Gravitas, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Sud declined to comment at the time of going to press but according to its website Gravitas practises banking and finance, projects, general corporate, M&A and real estate laws.

The KSP partnership was on the verge of a break up, with managing partner Umesh Khaitan and his son and equity partner Ashutosh Khaitan having rebranded to operate as Khaitan & Khaitan and equity partner Malini Sud having started up her own firm.

Tanuj Sud however told Legally India in March that none of KSP’s four equity partners had left its partnership, and that no formal break up had been agreed to at the time.
