AZB & Partners has hired L&L Partners Mumbai corporate and infrastructure partner Aditya Periwal in its Mumbai office.

AZB has also internally promoted project finance and infrastructure partner Qais Jamal to partner.

Periwal had not responded to a request for comment two weeks ago.

“I thank all my colleagues for their support and collaboration. In particular I would like to thank Mr Luthra and Mr Saraf for their constant encouragement and mentorship. I am very excited for my new job at AZB and all I would like to say is thank you!”

With Periwal, and including Delhi-based Alina Arora’s resignation last month, around nine partner have left L&L’s corporate team since 2016.

Both, my friend. The list is getting longer. Luthra has new draconian contracts for existing partners and lock in for new promotees

" I am very excited for my new job at AZB ..."

Only one Queen Bee at AZB! All the rest are workers.

@ Kian - Are you sure, Aditya was LnL Mumbai's "infrastructure" partner? My understanding is that he was a corporate partner only.

That’s window dressing of another level. “Personal” reasons to quit after ten years and join a bang on competitor!

Kian has metamorphosed from his Ravish Kumar version to Arnab Goswami. Atleast, Arnab isn't sailing in a sinking ship!

Kian, maybe the nation wants to know whether you are a kiang or not, ala Manan Mishra.
