Davar said that he decided to join Majmudar because it was a growing law firm and offered good growth prospects. “[I’m doing significant amount of corporate work – and bringing on board my clients and existing clients I hope to build on the existing corporate practice,” he said.

Davar is a qualified chartered accountant and a solicitor in Mumbai as well as in England & Wales.

He joined Majmudar at the beginning of this year. Managing partner Akil Hirani said: “He brings in a wealth of good experience on the deals front and client connections which we hope to exploit. It’s a welcome addition.

In August 2009 Davar had merged his practice into Bharucha, becoming the firm’s fifth equity partner. His former associates remain at Bharucha, which opened up a Delhi office last week.

Bharucha manging partner MP Bharucha said that he wished Davar well at his new firm.
