‘Let’s Go for Growth’: India’s Cyril Amarchand, On Track to Become 2,000-Lawyer Firm, Says ‘No’ to Foreign Alliances and Mergers

Indian firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has been dominating legal industry headlines.

Last month, the firm hired a team of more than 50 capital markets lawyers led by nine partners from smaller rival practice IndusLaw, depleting the latter firm’s capital markets offering entirely. Over the past two weeks, it has continued to aggressively hire partners laterally from competitors such as Luthra and Luthra Law Offices, Trilegal and S&R Associates.
