Indian law firms are famously enamoured with the letters of the alphabet. But is it rubbing off on the Indian tax office?

Suman Khaitan & Co’s Kolkata alliance firm Khaitan & Partners has moved into a new office space in the city’s business district, having doubled in size since starting up less than a year ago.

KSB Partners’ legal process outsourcing (LPO) arm Lexplosion is set to more than double its capacity of lawyers within three months, as it aims to roll out a new compliance management product for Indian companies.

Amarchand’s Kolkata head has quit the firm to pursue interests outside the law.

Krishnava Dutt was the only partner based in Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co’s Kolkata office of more than 20 lawyers.

The firm will relocate Delhi corporate partner Kalpataru Tripathy to fill his space and lead the office.

Amarchand co-managing partner Cyril Shroff (pictured) told Legally India that the terms of Dutt’s departure were amicable.
