Madhurima Mukherjee
Former AZB & Partners Delhi capital markets partner Madhurima Mukherjee Saha had joined J Sagar Associates (JSA) in June 2020 as an independent senior consultant.
Senior capital markets lawyer Madhurima Mukherjee, who had left AZB & Partners in April, has enlisted with J Sagar Associates (JSA) as an independent senior consultant, we understand from several sources.
Madhurima Mukherjee, who had left Luthra & Luthra a year ago, has joined AZB & Partners in Delhi as a capital markets partner, according to several authoritative sources.
Former Luthra & Luthra capital markets head Madhurima Mukherjee has been assisting the Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) legal education NGO in formalising and scaling up operations, since she quit the law firm five months ago.
India Today Group’s Business Today magazine has chosen Madhurima Mukherjee, who left Luthra & Luthra last week, and Amarchand Mangaldas Delhi partner Pallavi Shroff, as two of India’s 25 “most powerful women in business”.
AZB & Partners Mumbai-based co-founder Zia Mody has won the award several times since 2004 and is now inducted into the magazine’s so-called hall of fame, and therefore ineligible for any future awards.
Yesterday’s ceremony is understood to have also been attended by Luthra & Luthra managing partner Rajiv Luthra, and Bharti Shroff, Amarchand partner and mother-in-law of Pallavi Shroff.

Luthra & Luthra capital markets head and partner Madhurima Mukherjee has announced her resignation from the firm today.
Luthra & Luthra's capital markets practice has increased its leverage structure with the hire of its alumni Indraneel Basu Majumdar as a managing associate on "partnership track" from Clifford Chance.
"Law was often looked at as a marriage degree - three years in law, then you get married," recalls AZB founding partner Zia Mody about women's views of a legal career 30 years ago. Since then law firms have gradually fought the profession's gender bias, arguably more successfully in India than abroad. But there is still a long way to go.
The Delhi offices of Amarchand Mangaldas and Luthra & Luthra have advised Dish TV in issuing GDRs (Global Depository Receipts) worth Rs. 465 crores ($100m) to Apollo Management for an 11 per cent stake in the company.
Luthra & Luthra and S&R Associates acted as Indian counsel in Indian mining company Sterlite Industries' $1.5bn (Rs 7,200 crore) equity fundraising, with Latham & Watkins and Shearman & Sterling handling the international advice.
Luthra & Luthra partners have agreed to completely overhaul their management and partnership structure, which will see up to six current salaried partners enter the newly opened equity on a lockstep system.
J Sagar and Associates (JSA) and Luthra & Luthra have completed the Rs 1,750 crore ($368m) takeover of mining company Dempo Group by London-listed Vedanta Resources subsidiary Sesa Goa.
Luthra & Luthra is ramping up its Mumbai capital markets practice after hiring alumnus and new group head Manan Lahoty from US firm Shearman & Sterling in London.
Lahoty (pictured) will lead the Mumbai capital markets team of five associates, reporting to capital markets partner Madhurima Mukherjee in Delhi and her team of 10 lawyers.
Until now, Mukherjee had managed the Luthra & Luthra Mumbai team from Delhi but she admitted that this was difficult to do from a distance. "When Manan wanted to come back the logical choice was to send him to Bombay," she said.
