Chetan Nagendra opens Bangalore front for PDS
Chetan Nagendra, former Bangalore partner of AZB & Partners, has joined Big 4 consultancy E&Y best friend law firm PDS Legal as a partner, to open up its Bangalore office, according to sources with knowledge of the move.
He specialises in corporate work and VC/PE work, and would complement the firm’s work in Mumbai and Delhi.
It is understood he is joining with a small team of associates.
Nagendra had left AZB in November 2018, after three years at the firm, following one year of running the Law Offices of Chetan Nagendra, in association with Themis Associates.
Before that, the 2000 NLSIU Bangalore graduate was associate general counsel at Facebook, between 2012 and 2013, and he had also worked as head of the India practice at UK law firm Harney Westwood & Riegels.
Prior to that, he had also been an associate at what-was-then Amarchand Mangaldas, and regional counsel at liquor company Diageo’s India office.
He is qualified to practice in India, England & Wales, New York and in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).
We have reached out to Nagendra, PDS and AZB for comment.

But the again given your new found closeness with Zia you may not want to piss her off!!
It doesn't seem fair to single out daughters or sons of senior lawyers and attribute so much significance to their job moves, no matter their seniority. And children of top lawyers often work in firms that are not their parents', even in India.
However, I agree that such moves may be newsworthy in a few cases, such as in firms where family is very much publicly in its DNA. In the case of AZB and Bahram, it's not really ever been structured as a family firm, as far as I know, so this is just another associate move at the end of the day.
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder how long he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away.
