Hot on the heels of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas’ equity partner promotions of 11, and pretty much as long in the making and interviewing, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas has lifted 10 of its salaried partners into equity:Abhishek Guha (NUJS Kolkata; corporate),Arvind Sharma (Delhi University, CLC; corporate),Rudra Kumar Pandey (Delhi University, CLC; corporate),Veena Sivaramakrishnan (Nalsar Hyderabad; banking & finance),Anoop Rawat (Delhi University, CLC; insolvency),Harman Singh Sandhu (MD University; LLM King’s College; competition),Anuj Berry (NUJS Kolkata; LLM University of Oxford; disputes),Rishab Gupta (London School of Economics; disputes),Nikhil Naredi (NLSIU Bangalore; capital markets), andVR Neelkanthan (NLSIU Bangalore; projects).

Former Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas partner Nikhil Naredi, who resigned around April 2017, will join Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas soon, according to several authoritative sources, although nothing has been signed yet pending expiry of Naredi’s near-six months of gardening leave from his former firm to date.

Gokul Rajan, currently consultant at Citibank in Mumbai, and Nikhil Naredi, Singapore-based associate at Jones Day, are both set to be joining the new firm that will be started by Amarchand Mumbai managing partner Cyril Shroff, as partners to beef up the capital markets practice.
