Rohan Ghosh Roy, a former Trilegal partner who helped build the firm’s technology and private equity clientele, is joining Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas as equity partner in Mumbai, following a two-year career break.
Ghosh Roy has over 15 years of experience in the M&A and private equity space, having advised on some of the largest deals, particularly in the technology sector. He joined Trilegal in 2008 and became an important part of the firm’s growth curve, helping build deep client relationships with global businesses, including the Alibaba Group, DE Shaw, 3i Group, Citadel and Blackstone.
At CAM, Ghosh Roy will aim to deepen the firm’s already-existing marquee client relationships and tap into India’s promising private equity landscape.
“What drew me to CAM was a chance to work with the preeminent corporate practitioners of our times, and on market-defining transactions for marquee clients. To do so at what is undoubtedly a pivotal moment in the India story is the icing on the cake,” he said in a statement.
Ghosh Roy is CAM’s second equity-level partner hire from Trilegal this year following the addition of banking partner Pranav Sharma in July.
He is also the fourth partner to join CAM in September, following Ratnadeep Roychowdhury, Sahil Kanuga and Arya Tripathy.
The firm also added capital markets pro Manan Lahoty to its equity partnership, along with a team of over 50 fee-earners from IndusLaw, earlier in the year.
CAM’s hiring in the last few months includes M&A partner Mohit Gogia from S&R Associates, Pooranimaa Hariharan and Pranav Sharma from Trilegal, Alok Sonker from Krishnamurthy & Co, Jay Parikh from Luthra and Luthra Law Offices, real estate attorney Siddharth Singh in Ahmedabad, employment partner Sowyma Kumar from IndusLaw, former Embassy Group general counsel Siddharth Vedula, and M&A specialist Himanshu Chahar in its newly launched Abu Dhabi office.
