Cyril taps (Shardul) Amarchand for 2 more: Ex-PR head Radhika Garg, ex-PA Bishwajit Dubey

Monday, 1 June 2015 By Legally India Law firms

Erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas’ Delhi-region principal associate and NLIU Bhopal grad Bishwajit Dubey, who had left the firm several months ago, has joined Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas’ Delhi office as a partner designate in litigation, reported Bar & Bench.

Cyril Amarchand has also hired Radhika Garg, the former head of corporate communications in the firm’s pre-split Delhi region, for its managing partner’s office in Delhi, which deals with business development, public relations and other functions.

It is understood that she had left Amarchand’s Delhi office several months ago from the firm before joining.

Cyril Shroff declined to comment when contacted.

The first quasi-lateral hires made by Cyril from Shardul Amarchand were Ranjan Negi and Aarti Joshi.

Nothing surprising about Arti or Biswajit. They were probably upset they weren't made partner when other were and so went to greener pastures. [...]

Long line of folks from okhla to saket is being formed. Give it six months and see. Radhika is an example of senior support moving . Especially from inner coterie. Okhla is in shock on radhika . Something for introspection. If she can move then anyone cam.

Obviously someone who probably was also talking of mayhem on the shop floor!!
Radhika had been replaced by Aman over 5 months ago. She was in charge of organising events and not really head of corp Comms.
Long line of folk? Hahaha
Btw did you start with 100 lawyers in Delhi on day 1? I think not!
Also what happened to your hiring of the head of litigation at [...]? Did you manage to do it? Or was it another MNK type situation [...]?
Best of luck!

Again? The same response to shop floor at Okhla! Oof.

What is really revealing though is the state of play at Okhla v Peninsula. While CAM may lose some numbers, none of those appear to be headed to SAM.

SAM on the other hand had established his Delhi offices for approx 20 years now and people are running away in droves, including to CAM.

Wonder what the difference between the two is since I haven't worked at either? Food for thought for those joining SAM in Mumbai?

"Okhla is in shock on Radhika". Sometimes these statements make my blood boil as if its some real news on "Capital Hill". You idiots watch American/brit sitcoms and latch on to such phrases and then use it indiscreetly. Okhla should be in shock for hiring nincumpoops like you.

Radhika hasn't been at Okhla for 6 months! [...]

Though it is true that anyone can move, either way. It's excellent for the market that the two are behaving like true competitors (not so good for the competitors though)

Good luck to BD, Radhika, and Radhika though!

Some rumours doing the rounds suggest that one litigation partner of SAM was approached and he has in principal agreed

@Grapevine : Would you also happen to be from SAM?
Your spelling prowess (in principal) seems to suggest the same.

Why below the belt comments Mr. Rotten?

SAMCO lawyers are spelling bees. They may or may not have substance, but they definitely do have syntax.

This Radhika woman has apparently already exited Cyril after she was not given a cabin.

Before this sardarji office manager quit kyun ki usko Canada jana tha. Waiting for the first lawyer to quit - 2-3 are murmuring that they are not finding it easy to adjust.
