Piyush Mishra, former projects partner at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) Delhi, who had resigned four months ago, yesterday joined AZB & Partners in Mumbai as a partner.

Although having initially been in discussions to join AZB’s Delhi office, it is understood that he will be joining the Mumbai office in the national banking and finance practice of the firm (which includes projects, as well as insolvency and bankruptcy), led by Mumbai-based co-founding partner Bahram Vakil.

Vakil confirmed his joining, and commented: “Delighted. Truly.”

We had reported on 20 December 2017 that Mishra was in advanced talks with AZB Delhi, with CAM wishing him well but insisting he would serve out his notice period until March 2018.

The 2002 NLSIU Bangalore graduate had joined CAM from Luthra & Luthra in 2015, after having started his career at erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas and spending two years at international law firm Allen & Overy in 2007.
