With Shuva Mandal’s decision to leave Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas to join Tata Group as Group General Counsel, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas is already boosting its Mumbai office plans.

The firm’s corporate M&A Partner Raghubir Menon is relocating to Mumbai along with Partners Natashaa Shroff and Ekta Gupta and a team of associates.

Raghubir will take up the role of Regional Practice Head – Mumbai, M&A and Private Equity.

Shardul Shroff, Executive Chairman, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, said,

“Raghubir is a stellar lawyer with an impeccable reputation in the industry. Along with Natashaa and Ekta, the team will drive the M&A and Private Equity practice in Mumbai, which is an important market for the Firm.”

Our national footprint of 91 partners including 44 general corporate partners, many of whom are ranked at the top of their fields of practice, will continue to deliver the highest quality of services to our clients,”

Akshay Chudasama, Mumbai Managing Partner, commented,

“This move will further strengthen our relationship with our clients in Mumbai and bolster our Corporate M&A and Private Equity practice. Raghubir is known for his legal acumen and is a thought leader in his practice area.”

Raghubir has most of his clients in Mumbai and he was already dividing his time between Mumbai and Delhi but now he will be based out of Mumbai.
