Khaitan & Co had initially been loathe to let partner Avaantika Kakkar leave the firm to Cyril Amarchand, when we first reported her move on 14 April.

Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) Mumbai competition partner Nisha Kaur Uberoi, who resigned on 22 May 2016, has joined AZB & Partners today after a notice period of over 9 weeks, confirmed AZB Mumbai managing partner Zia Mody when contacted.

Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) Mumbai star corporate partner Ashwath Rau and AZB & Partners Delhi senior partner Percy Billimoria have both served out their notice period in record time, with today being the last day at their respective firms until they swap firms later this week.

Around 25 fee-earners in the team of Ashwath Rau, who is set to join AZB & Partners Mumbai office with at least three partners, have been told that today will be their last day in the office, according to reliable sources.

Amarchand Mangaldas partner Abhimanyu Bhattacharya, who resigned in July, has now joined Khaitan & Co as expected and as first reported by Legally India at the time.
