Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas partner Vijayendra Pratap Singh may join AZB & Partners, reported Bar & Bench, citing authoritative sources.
We understand that Singh has not made any announcement within Cyril Amarchand, though there is a strong rumour that he might move, according to a source claiming to have knowledge of the situation.
Singh declined to comment when contacted.
Cyril Amarchand managing partner Cyril Shroff was not reachable for comment.
As we reported in 2013, Singh had moved from what was then Amarchand Mangaldas Delhi (which is now Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas) to Amarchand Mumbai (which is now Cyril Amarchand).
In the last few months, AZB has poached corporate partner Ashwath Rau and team, headed by three partners, as well as competition partner Nisha Kaur Uberoi.
Cyril Amarchand has poached AZB Delhi senior partner Percy Billimoria to head up its Delhi office.

The best talent is leaving in droves. First Ashwath (corporate), then Nisha (competition) and now VP (litigation).
Plus exits of other partners like Anu, Dhruv, Ganesh (funds), Rahul Sarella(head of Hyderabad office), Himanshu, Niraj (lit), Alok, Seshagiri etc.
Clients must be worried and associates must be terrified.
As regards competition, well that's definitely over. Rumour is that nisha has managed to take with her some of CAM's pet n most important clients.
CAM's corporate team is half the strength it was.
CAMs only bright spots are capital markets and finance.
Cannot call itself full service any more!
Tier 1... Then Tier 2.... And now Tier....
Wondering how come 6th floor finance team is still unaffected?? Or they think nothing wrong can ever happen to them till Santosh, LV n Amey are present !!!
And let's not even talk about [...] "book" of work!
However, I will point out again as I have in other stories, after B&B reported it the damage was already done, and it's not like LI refusing to run it at that point puts the genie back in the bottle, or that CAM management would not contact the subject of the story to ask what's going on.
In any case, I am very clear in this report that no deal is done yet and no resignation has been handed in yet, though I have confirmed that it's not a completely spurious story and it is merely an early-stage rumour we are covering since it's now in the public domain.
When there is something more factual, we will certainly be reporting it.
