TMT Law Practice opened an office in Bhubaneshwar, its second in the eastern region after its recently opened Kolkata office. The firm will start operating in Bhubaneshwar from 1 October.

Delhi-based TMT managing partner Abhishek Malhotra will head the Bhubaneshwar office, which has two associates - operative senior associate Bagmisikha Puhan and senior associate Jadunath Behera - and is located in the city’s Bayababa Matha Lane. The office will focus on technology, media and telecommunication (TMT), intellectual property (IP) and litigation.

Malhotra commented in the press release: “With Odisha continuing to attract investment and industry there are likely to be issues related to these spheres of activity. Protection of Intellectual Property, negotiation and dispute resolution are services that are already in demand and local presence was thought necessary to address the emerging need.”

The firm now has five offices and three partners across India.
