Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas
Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas continues its reign as one of the most recognised full service law firms in the country, a top tier choice for its panoply of international and domestic clients. The firm is almost always involved in the most high-profile deals and this year proves its dominance once again by rising into the ‘Outstanding’ tiers for competition, real estate, and technology and telecommunications. The firm houses elite partners and leaders in their fields like Cyril Shroff, L Viswanathan, Reeba Chacko, Avaantika Kakkar and Yash Ashar. The firm also has a unique bench of retired senior bureaucrats from key Indian regulators, such as RBI and SEBI, to provide an extra layer of expertise. Last year, the corporate practice welcomed six new partners from its top-tier peers like Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM), L&L Partners, AZB & Partners and Platinum Partners. These included private equity head Ravindra Badhakavi from Trilegal and head of aerospace and defence, Anuj Prasad from SAM.
