Virtus Law, Stephenson Harwood's alliance firm in Singapore, has a hired corporate specialist Parikhit Sarma as a partner from Morgan Lewis Stamford.

At his previous firm, Sarma was the deputy leader of the India practice, which he helped launch and develop. Prior to joining Morgan Lewis Stamford, he spent more than two years at Duane Morris & Selvam.

"Parikhit has an established track record in capital markets as well as mergers and acquisitions, which complements our existing practices," said Daryll Ng, managing partner of Virtus Law in a statement. "His experience and deep involvement in both the Singaporean and Indian markets enhances the support we can provide our clients."
