Featured
Thursday, 16 July 2015 By Legally India Law firms

Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has hired former Amarchand Mangaldas Delhi principal associate Mekhla Anand as an indirect tax salaried partner in its new Delhi office.

Anand had left Amarchand Delhi shortly before the break up of the Delhi and Mumbai regions of the firm but after a break travelling is now due to join the Mumbai-region, which de-merged to become Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas.

Anand had joined PwC India after graduating from NLSIU Bangalore in 2003, moving to Amarchand Delhi in 2011.

Cyril Amarchand managing partner Cyril Shroff commented that she would be an “excellent addition to our tax practice”.

We have reached out to Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas for comment.

Update: Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas declined to comment.

Cyril Amarchand has hired at least three former Amarchand Delhi lawyers since the break-up – principal associate Bishwajit Dubey, former intellectual property (IP) partner Ranjan Negi and principal associate in IP Aarti Joshi.

You obviously belong to the lowest stratum of a law firm! Go and ask your managing partner what is the concept of a 'book' in a law firm and what significance it carries for partners and other senior level professionals as well as for firms who indulge in lateral recruitments!

Seems like SAM is losing PAs and CAM is picking them up as partners!
Sounds like the PAs moving are the ones who were left out from the recent round of partner promotions.
So what would SAM be losing?

Three PAs constitutes "bleeding on a weekly basis"? Think you need to brush-up your math.

PS: Everybody knows why the IP Partner and his team left.

I don't think everybody knows at all and the situation is bound to be more complicated that is perhaps being portrayed internally. I.e., there are bound to be at least two sides to every story...

Bravo! "... the situation is bound to be more complicated that is perhaps being portrayed internally. I.e., there are bound to be at least two sides to every story..." response is applicable to every story anybody has ever published!

And Alia, technically, the term 'universe' (mine or otherwise), i.e., 'all existing matter and space considered as a whole', is broad enough to cover, well, everybody!

However, I do admit that apart from the concerned partner and the SAM, nobody else knows 'exactly' what happened. But most people have a fair idea of what happened... or may be they don't. One will never know.

Everybody is not part of your one individual universe. Pray do tell. I'm sure Kian will not censor whatever you tell.

Don't worry, that's going to be stopped and the work will reverse flow to few law firms alone - SILF and BCI at work ;-)
