Legacy Law Offices strengthens Capital Markets Practice with senior hires and 10+ lawyers

Legacy Law Offices has announced a significant expansion of its Capital Markets practice with the addition of former Khaitan & Co Principal Associate Surbhi Narang and former National Stock Exchange of India legal and compliance professional Shivanshi Chamoli, together with a team of more than 10 lawyers across the firm’s New Delhi, Mumbai and Chandigarh offices.

Narang has joined the firm as Equity Partner – Capital Markets, while Chamoli has joined as a Principal Associate.

Narang graduated from the Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, in 2014 and is also a qualified Company Secretary.

Her experience spans a broad range of equity capital markets, debt capital markets, banking and finance transactions. She has advised in connection with fundraises and transactions involving institutions and companies including Barclays Capital, IndoStar Capital Finance, Indiabulls Housing Finance Limited and Power Finance Corporation Limited.

Chamoli graduated from the Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, in 2019.

She commenced her career as a Law Researcher at the Rajasthan High Court, where she worked for approximately three years and assisted judges handling civil and commercial matters. Chamoli joined the National Stock Exchange of India as Deputy Manager – Legal in 2024. At NSE, she advised on a range of legal, secretarial, regulatory and compliance matters concerning the equity, debt and commodity derivatives segments.

As part of the firm’s internal leadership restructuring, Roopali Chaturvedi, Advocate-on-Record, who has been associated with the firm since 2016, has been elevated to Senior Partner.

Existing Principal Associate Priya Kataria, who joined Legacy Law Offices LLP from Kanga & Co last year, has also been elevated to Associate Partner – Capital Markets.

The restructuring coincides with the departure of Partner Pradyun Chakravarty from the firm.

The Firm’s expanded Mumbai team will operate from the Grande Palladium Building in Kalina, Santacruz East, in proximity to the offices of the National Stock Exchange of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

The location is expected to serve as a strategic base for the firm’s growing transactional and regulatory practice in Mumbai, particularly its work involving listed companies, investment banks, merchant bankers, institutional intermediaries and capital-market participants.

In addition to Narang and Chamoli, the following lawyers have joined Legacy Law Offices LLP.

Geetika Joshi, Associate, formerly with MV Kini & Co

Meghna Shukla, Associate, formerly with Mindspright Legal

Commenting on the expansion, Gagan Anand, Managing Partner, Legacy Law Offices, said,

“We do not view equity, debt, Mainboard and SME mandates as isolated practices. Our objective is to offer clients and merchant bankers an integrated capital-markets platform capable of supporting transactions throughout their lifecycle, irrespective of the segment in which they originate.

Pradyun joined the firm as a specialist construction and infrastructure lawyer and was subsequently trained under the guidance of Co-Managing Partner Shalini Munjal and Partner Amarendra Gogoi. Over the past 24 months, he supported select capital-markets mandates after the barrage of mandates we received pursuant to the success of EMS Ltd and Vibhor Steel Tubes Ltd’s Mainboard IPOs, handled by Shalini Munjal and Amarendra Gogoi, and helped maintain continuity during the firm’s transition from a broad-based General Corporate practice to distinct, specialist transactional verticals.

With that transition now substantially complete, the next phase of our growth requires a different composition of talent. We required a combination of senior home-grown lawyers with institutional knowledge of the firm and practitioners whose careers, experience and market profiles have been principally built across equity and debt capital markets. In parallel, we have separately expanded our Infrastructure and General Corporate practices through dedicated hires.

Pradyun’s departure therefore comes at a natural point in the evolution of both the practice and his own professional trajectory. We thank him for his contribution during this transitional period and wish him well in his future endeavours.

Surbhi brings extensive and wholly dedicated transactional experience across equity, debt and finance, while Shivanshi adds valuable and niche exchange-side regulatory and compliance experience. Their appointments, together with the wider team expansion, materially strengthens our ability to advise on sophisticated mandates at scale. We are delighted to welcome them to the firm.”

Commenting on the expansion, Naman Anand, Counsel at Legacy Law Offices, said,

“These appointments reflect a well-considered investment in the depth and breadth of our Capital Markets practice. Having established a substantial presence in the SME IPO market (2nd largest market volume in India for H1CY26) while continuing to expand our Mainboard, debt and broader securities work, our next phase is focused on building the institutional capacity required for larger, more complex and strategically significant transactions."
