AZB & Partners Senior Partner Gautam Saha is leaving the firm to join Talwar Thakore & Associates (TT&A) to head its NCR office. A large part of Saha's team is moving along with him.

Saha has today resigned from AZB after spending about 19 years at the firm.

According to TT&A, this is a significant move to increase TT&A’s pan India footprint.

"We believe our clients and lawyers will greatly benefit from a joint practice and natural synergies, given the breadth of practice areas spanned by Gautam and team, coupled with TT&A’s strong reputation and presence in the corporate and finance practices."

TT&A Partner Kunal Thakore said,

“We welcome Gautam and his team and are very excited to join together with such well reputed and highly skilled lawyers. This is a big and game changing step for the firm as we look to move to the next stage of our development. We are looking forward to working together with Gautam and the other partners to continue to provide the same quality advice and client service that both are known for”.

Commenting on his move, Gautam Saha said,

“AZB has been home for many years and the friendship and bonds developed here will last way beyond this move. I am forever thankful for the wonderful opportunities it provided me as a young lawyer. But now it's time to move into a new phase of my career. The team and I are delighted to be joining a young firm in growth mode and contribute to it in a meaningful manner, while maintaining quality and a strong focus on the needs of clients.”

Saha's team of 11 partners is also moving along with him - Sachin Mehta, Amrita Patnaik, Pallavi Meena, Heena Singh, Dushyant Bagga, Swati Chauhan, Nikhil Bahl, Ambarish Mohanty, Punita Gupta, Pragya Sood, Shivranjani Ralawata.
