Indian law firm Trilegal has beefed up its banking and finance practice with the hires of Pranav Sharma and Mallika Chopra as partners from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM).

Sharma spent around 13 years at CAM and the legacy Amarchand Mangaldas combined, with a six-year stint in-between as a managing associate with Linklaters in London. Specialising in banking and finance, and debt capital markets, he advises banks, financial institutions, and other credit providers on onshore and offshore financings, and also sponsors and borrowers on such financings.

Chopra, who moved to CAM from Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas in 2018, also worked for IndusLaw, the legacy Amarchand Mangaldas and ICICI Bank. She advises on banking and financing matters with a special focus on structured debt transactions, real estate and asset backed financings.  Chopra represents lenders as well as private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers.

With the two new hires, Trilegal now has 65 partners.
