Deepto Roy

Former Economic Laws Practice (ELP) partner Deep Roy, whom we had reported to have resigned in March, has started up a boutique firm under the name Equilex, in the finance and sexy flavour-of-the-month insolvency space.

Economic Laws Practice (ELP) Mumbai-based banking and finance partner Deep Roy has left the firm last week.

RDA Legal has shut down and its founder, NUJS 2006 alumnus Rohit Das, is now focusing solely on counsel practice.

Economic Laws Practice made five new partners in Mumbai and one associate partner in Bangalore, in its annual round of promotions.

Taxi aggregator Uber started a joint venture with Tata Motors, which envisages Uber drivers buying Tata cars financed via Tata Capital Financial Services and Tata Motors Finance loans with insurance from Tata.

Khaitan & Co associate partner Deepto Roy will join the firm to be started by Amarchand Mangaldas Delhi partner Shardul Shroff in Mumbai.

Khaitan & Co has completed its acquisition of the practice and teams of three co-founding partners of PXV Law Partners.
