Revathy Muralidharan joins Indus as corporate partner

IndusLaw has hired J Sagar Associates (JSA) principal associate Revathy Muralidharan as a corporate transactional partner in Mumbai, as well as opened a new Mumbai litigation office near the high court.

She specialises in M&A and private equity work, as well as general corporate work, including employment and compliance.

The 2009 Dr Ambedkar Law University School of Excellence in Law graduate had begun her career at Trilegal Bangalore, moved to HSB Partners in Chennai in 2011 and went independent at the Madras high court in 2013.

In 2014, she had joined JSA in Chennai as a senior associate, moving to its Gurgaon office in 2017.

IndusLaw senior partner Suneeth Katarki added in the release: “It is nice to welcome young partners who have energy and enthusiasm along with technical abilities.

“We have almost always found that their contribution to the Firm exceeds expectations and I am sure that will be true here as well.”

With her joining, IndusLaw is now 36 partners strong.

Muralidharan commented: “I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of one of India’s fastest growing top tier law firm.”

New Mumbai HC office

After its recent move into a larger office on the 15th floor of One Indiabulls Centre in Lower Parel, IndusLaw has also opened a new office in South Mumbai’s Fort area, to be closer to the high court.

The firm will have three litigation partners and their team based from there, which will most certainly reduce their traffic woes between office and high court hearings.

IndusLaw litigation partner Amit Jajoo commented in a press release: “To effectively handle litigation and allow the growing litigation practice, time management and efficiency, we have branched out a new office around the High Court.”

Has Indus had some mother give them a war chest? All they're doing now is inducting new partners.

Hope they don't go down the path of break neck expansion, and then rapid decent into chaos

Where in Fort area is their office?
I don't know why it took them so long. Traffic has been a perennial problem in Mumbai for a while. Most of the big to small firms have always had their litigation offices in & around the Fort area!

Since when did indus become a "top tier" law firm? Now a days they even misrepresent being a top tier law firm during recruitments. 4th class hires by a self proclaimed top tier firm? They keep on mass recruiting partners but very few of substance. Indus will be the next Phoenix legal. They will drop down exponentially.

Jitesh Shahani’s news is already there on BB. It’s so futile to keep it blocked for view here!

Haha, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! :) In this case, since our window was quite long overnight, I hope you can still wait a few minutes longer! ;)

Unclear who is flattering whom! And who cares..to the reader, it’s about who reached him first

Indeed, which is why we send out such news to our paying subscribers first, and it usually spreads quite rapidly from then throughout the market... :)

LOLed @ this discussion! BB is just being like typical Indian media, copying stories from LI and Livelaw and newspapers and at same time pretending they don't exist. But it has worked for TOI, so they probably know what they're doing.

Kian, the L&L hire of A&O lawyer Jitesh Shahani is already out on B&B.

So what are we looking at here? The Indus expansion strategy is a little confusing to me. Why keep adding partners? An experienced lateral partner with a book I can still understand - gives them capabilities/access that they did not have. How does getting a first year corp partner help?

My experience in dealing with them over the past 2-3 years is that they have some serious quality issues across the board. My best guess is that their associate pool is probably not strong enough and they are trying to hire lawyers from tier 1 firms to try to cover up those gaps.

Chennai and Gurgaon office of JSA is not really tier 1 for M&A work

Chennai office isn't because they mostly do advisory, but Gurgaon is indisputably Tier 1 in M&A, where are you getting your info from?
