Dhruv Singhal re-joins CAM

Dhruv Singhal, who had in August left AZB & Partners, after having moved there in 2016 from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, has re-joined the latter.

The 2007 NLSIU Bangalore graduate has joined in the CAM general corporate practice in Mumbai.

In an internal announcement, CAM managing partner Cyril Shroff said: “I am pleased Dhruv finally saw the light and returned home where he belongs. He will add value to the firm.”

He had first joined Amarchand Mangaldas, as it then was, in 2007, and had moved to AZB with senior partner Ashwath Rau in 2016.

AZB Mumbai managing partner Zia Mody said she wished him well back in August, with Rau adding: “He’s a good guy and I wish him all the best and hope he succeeds wherever he goes. It’s been a five year journey [with Singhal] and I hope it all works out for him.”

Update 01:02: In the press release Singhal commented: “Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and erstwhile Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co had contributed immensely in my professional growth in the past. I am very excited to return home and once again looking forward to work along with my seniors and peers.”

"Finally saw the light"

Seriously? Despite their position, some of these senior law firm partners have the maturity of politicians or petulant teenagers.

Zia Mody's statement was much more graceful.

Any news about Manan’s exit? Is the shift completed? I heard there were rumours of Luthra filing a litigation against him

The litigation has started and there was a long hearing today at Bombay HC.

They did and lost. See Bombay High Court website today. Manan Lahoty versus Luthra &Luthra. Firms should know better than to take on individuals. Even Cyril had the grace not to sue Ashwath.

Dhruv is a rockstar. Even Ashwath concede his immense legal capabilities albeit before it was known that Dhruv was becoming the prodigal son:-)

Dhruv's legal depth is just great. Shishir and Dhruv are the future of CAM's M&A practice.

It goes without saying that Dhruv is an extremely sharp and an intelligent lawyer.... probably sharper than some of his peers at AZB. (This comment might draw some flak but he came across one of the easiest and nicest guys to work with being patient, explaining stuff and letting you speak your mind before providing his 2 bits on it. Only catch is that you need to get hold of him and once you do get all your stuff cleared at one go. Also do not let him get bored and take up some other matter before he has cleared your work. Brilliant people often tend to get bored easily and its your job to get things past his desk.) Those who know how he functions will tell you that what I say is the truth and the absolute truth. Gem of a person and a good friend. Wish him all the luck...... Godspeed!!!!

side note: y'all need to stop with the "xyz sends his/her/their regards". That line is too dated at this point.

Dhruv is a solid lawyer. Has his team moved with him? Across the mandir - it’s a hop, skip and jump to ghar wapsi.
