Corporate partner Gaurav Singhi (NUJS Kolkata 2006) had joined SAM’s Mumbai office in 2015 from J Sagar Associates (JSA), where he was a salaried partner, together with current SAM co-managing partner Akshay Chudasama.

He had begun his career at Trilegal in 2007, joined Phoenix Legal in 2008, moved to Wadia Ghandy in 2011 where he was made a partner in 2014, shortly before joining J Sagar Associates (JSA).

Corporate partner Saurav Kumar (ILS Pune 2002 graduate) had been promoted in 2013 internally at erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas, and was one of the first four partners to move to the firm’s new office in Gurgaon.

We have reached out to Singhi, Kumar and SAM for comment.

With Shuva off his back, Gaurav will do well in CAM. Welcome back mate.

Cant help but notice the very many similar remarks flying around about Shuva - clearly, he is a badass boss. Will be interesting to know what is so different about his approach - juniors seem terrified of him ....clients and his own seniors seem to love him......

First Sinha, now Gaurav and many in AZB........ Strike rate of a certain partner is better than Ravichandran Ashwin's.

This is what happens when you follow a gauranteed boss and the guarantee runs out after two years. Looks like some newly acquired teams in Bombay are not as profitable as they claim to be.

Kian, I believe he had actually started his career in CAM and not Trilegal as mentioned.

Weeding out the deadwood. SAM adopts the AZB model but beats AZB coz they SAM is one firm nationally whereas AZB is two firms in one....

Don't think any firm can stop unhappy/ disgruntled attorneys from leaving.

Gaurav is a great guy. So pls get the facts right. His career progression has been AMSS-Litigation-Trilegal-Phoenix Legal-Wadia Ghandy-JSA-SAM-CAM. So 8 places in about 11 yrs. He is someone who should start his own firm - that's what he has been missing every time. He is too independent to work under someone else. He will leave CAM too in another 12 months. Rolling stone gathers no moss.

Rolling lawyer also gathers no book. You cannot enjoy just the upside without experiencing the downside.

Saurav Kumar has been with Amarchand for more than a decade. He deserves respect for all the work he has done all through and that too performing consistently to achieve growth in a balanced way. He will be a sure shot asset to any future firm/organisation. Wishing him all the very best.

2015 - AZB bled. 2016 - CAM bled. Looks like 2017 - SAM will bleed.
