Indian law firm Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co (SAM) has announced its second hire in a matter of days after adding projects and infrastructure specialist Anjana Jamalamadaka Potti as a partner in Bengaluru from JSA.
Potti’s hiring comes shortly after SAM added corporate lawyer Nikita Goyal as a partner in its Gurgaon office from IndusLaw.
With almost two decades of experience, Potti specialises in infrastructure finance, financial products and structuring financial transactions. She has advised Indian and multinational banks, funds and financial institutions on funding, debt restructuring, investments into distressed infrastructure assets and acquisitions across various sectors.
"We are pleased to welcome Anjana as a partner... Her expertise in infrastructure finance and financial structuring is a valuable addition," said SAM managing partner Pallavi Shroff. Another SAM managing partner, Akshay Chudasama added that Potti's "background adds strength" to the firm's infrastructure, energy and project finance practice.
Potti joined JSA in 2018 from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM). She previously held in-house roles at ICICI Bank and Reliance Infrastructure.
Apart from Goyal, SAM this year has also hired capital markets partners Rohit Tiwari and Devi Prasad Patel from CAM and Khaitan & Co, respectively.
And last week, SAM rainmaker Iqbal Khan took a 20-strong M&A group to JSA.
