Trilegal has hired disputes experts Anuj Berry (L) and Vishrov Mukerjee as partners in Delhi from Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas and J. Sagar Associates, respectively. They are set to join the firm in the next few months.

The duo will become Trilegal’s first partner laterals since it added four from AZB in Mumbai and Bengaluru in December last year.

Berry, who has been with SAM since 2006, works in the areas of general commercial litigation including shareholder disputes, company law-related disputes, litigation concerning the Competition Act 2002 and white-collar defense such as regulatory and internal investigations. In 2021, he was selected by clients as one of the ALB Asia Super 50 Disputes Lawyers.

Meanwhile, Mukerjee had two stints at JSA, first between 2007 and 2009, and then since 2012. He focuses on regulatory disputes, arbitration in the infrastructure sector and commercial litigation on complex cases such as issues pertaining to changes in law, powers of regulatory commissions, and compensatory mechanisms for the cancellation of coal blocks.

With the additions of Berry and Mukerjee, Trilegal will have 79 partners.
