Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas starts August with another partner hire, adding labour and employment partner Sowmya Kumar in Delhi, a source with knowledge of the move told ALB.  

Kumar, previously at IndusLaw brings 15 years of experience advising companies in relation to labour and compliance-related queries, and also structuring of internal regulatory policies.

Prior to joining CAM, Kumar had stints at Khaitan Legal Associates, PwC, and Amarchand Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co.

IndusLaw confirmed that Kumar has left the firm a few months ago and wished Kumar well for her future endeavours.

In the past week, CAM has also added IndusLaw’s entire 60-lawyer capital markets team, led by partner Manan Lahoty, and Luthra corporate partner Jay Parikh.

Meanwhile, IndusLaw has continued to see departures from its employment practice, with former practice head Avik Biswas and partner Vaibhav Bharadwaj moving to Khaitan & Co in Delhi.
