Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas had appointed corporate specialist Harsh Kumar as a partner in the firm’s Delhi office from rival Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas.
Kumar’s practice focuses on mergers & acquisitions and private equity/venture capital transactions. He also advises clients on general corporate and commercial matters.

Kumar’s appointment is the latest in the sequence of recent hires between CAM and SAM. After the two firms split, they had an initial agreement not to poach from each other, but the table below shows that agreement has come to an end.
