Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) Delhi partner Asim Abbas, who had been hired from Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM) in 2016, is to leave the firm, as first reported by Bar & Bench.
At the time of publication, we are not aware of where he is heading.
Abbas focuses on technology, media and telecommunications (TMT), and had joined SAM in 2015, after five years at Khaitan & Co.
Before his stint at Khaitan, he had set up and managed boutique start-up law firm Legal Spectrums for two years, after having been in-house at Bharti Airtel.
He is a 1990 Delhi University graduate.
Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas managing partner Cyril Shroff confirmed his departure and said he wished him well.
We have reached out to him for comment.
CAM Delhi partner Manishi Pathak has also resigned earlier this month, following Harsh Kumar moving to SAM, and November’s joint resignations of partners Kirat Singh Nagra and Rishi Anand.
It is understood that more Delhi exits at CAM are forthcoming.

Chal diye Asim, nikaal le gaye sabke telecom SIM
All the best Asim. Fond memories while working on Tata and Jio matters.
Is CAM sponsoring your deal table reporting?
It is so out of line with mergermarket and other deal reporting databases.
It’s irresposible of you to provide misleading data when you know better.
League tables depend on whether a law firm believes its worth their time to report deals to that particular publisher. Obviously the likes of AZB, SAM and Trilegal haven’t though much of yours and CAM which has little work and is bleeding lawyers has the time to send you all theirs... but to suggest to gullible lawyers that CAM is top of the pops is plain wrong.
It indeed is a good trick to get lawyers from other firms agitated and they probably will now send you their deal data... but its a dirty trick.
CAM was the first to submit outstanding deals, but in a few days, it should be more accurate...
Once the data is final, we will do a proper feature that analyses performance, standings, etc.
