Luthra and Luthra Law Offices has expanded its corporate practice in Bengaluru with the addition of partner Arindam Basu from Poovayya & Co.

Basu, who leaves disputes and real estate-focused Poovayya less than a year after joining, has close to 20 years of experience as a corporate lawyer, particularly in the Bengaluru market. He spent 14 years as a partner at Bengaluru-based ALMT Legal prior to Poovayya.

Luthra absorbed a disputes boutique Aishwarya AnanthKumar and Partners in May. The firm has also been aggressively expanding its presence in other South Indian cities, opening a new Chennai office and adding a team in Hyderabad earlier this year.
