Chandhiok & Mahajan has announced the opening of its fourth office at Hyderabad, with Competition and Disputes Partner Avinash Amarnath heading the office as resident partner.

Located at Shangri-La Plaza in Banjara Hills, the new office can accommodate up to 10 lawyers and staff.

Commenting on the expansion, Managing Partner Pooja Mahajan said,

“We are delighted to be in Hyderabad. With Bengaluru and now Hyderabad, we are better placed to serve our clients in the wider Southern region.

Avinash is an exceptional colleague. We are grateful to him for taking up the responsibility of leading C&M in Hyderabad."

Partner and Head of Corporate Sujoy Bhatia added,

“C&M has been serving clients in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh remotely from Delhi and Bengaluru. The opening of the Hyderabad office is in response to our clients requesting us to be closer to them both on transactions and litigation.”
