Udwadia, Udeshi & Argus Partners, which was formed in 2012 after the merger of Argus Partners and Udwadia & Udeshi, has been rebranded as ‘Argus Partners’, with Krishnava Dutt and Darius Udwadia deciding to part ways.

The separation was effected with Darius Udwadia retiring from the firm, and continuing with his own, separate practice.

Dilip Udeshi, who was also part of the merged firm, had moved from the firm much earlier, and has joined Dhruve Liladhar & Company as a Partner.

The same entity with new name ‘Argus Partners’ continues with its five offices under Managing Partner Krishnava Dutt.

The rebranded firm ‘Argus Partners’,  recently promoted two of its Managing Associates – Arka Majumdar and Adity Chaudhury – to salaried Partnership, taking the total number of partners at the firm to 6.

Both Arka and Adity are graduates of NUJS. Arka started his career at Amarchand Mangaldas after graduating in 2008 and joined Udwadia, Udeshi & Argus in 2012. He is based in Kolkata.

Adity initially worked at Amarchand Mangaldas, later moving with Krishnava to be part of Argus Partners. She will be based at the firm’s Mumbai office.

The Delhi office is headed by Sudhinder R, while Soorjya Ganguli and Arka Majumdar are in Kolkata. Mumbai office has Krishnava Dutt, Ranjit Shetty and Adity Chaudhury.
