Further to our report last week, Trilegal has today voted to admit former partners of AZB & Partners, Ganesh Rao and Aditya Jha, as partners in its asset management and funds practice in Mumbai, growing its partnership to 44.

The notice period of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) partner Ganesh Rao, who has been handing over matters at the firm since resigning together with partner Ashwath Rau, Anu Tiwari and Dhruv Singhal for AZB & Partners around 23 April, is now also over.

Around 25 fee-earners in the team of Ashwath Rau, who is set to join AZB & Partners Mumbai office with at least three partners, have been told that today will be their last day in the office, according to reliable sources.

Three Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas non-equity partners - Ganesh Rao, Anu Tiwari and Dhruv Singhal - have handed in their notice today and will join AZB & Partners with the head of their team, Ashwath Rau, who announced his departure earlier this month.
