	After shifting her base from New York to Mumbai, Zia Mody started her litigation practice under the name CZM (Chambers of Zia Mody) in 1978. For the next 10 years she wore her band and gown to court but then started getting tired of all the adjournments. The Indian economy was opening up at that point and she started getting a lot of referrals from her friends abroad, advising people who wanted to invest in India.<ref>[http://www.legalera.in/In-Conversation/in-conversation-with-mrszia-mody.html \| In Conversation with Zia Mody] </ref> Bahram Vakil, who knew Zia from their time in New York, decided to join hands with her and start a partnership in 2001, changing the name to CZB.<ref>They put a llot of jugaad and got cases.

	In 2009, AZB brought on board Bangalore firm Anup Shah and Associates with a specialization in real estate. The aim was to allow AZB to increase its presence in South India with offices in Hyderabad and Chennai. However, after one-and-a-half years Anup Shah's firm and AZB parted ways, partly because of conflicts caused by Shah's strength in real estate and AZB's portfolio of corporate client instructions. But both said they would remain 'best friends' in order to leverage each others core practice areas. <ref> [http://www.legallyindia.com/201012241637/Law-firms/breaking-azb-bangalore-merger-anup-shah-splits-off-to-go-independent-again \| Breaking: AZB Bangalore merger Anup Shah splits off to go independent again] </ref>		In 2009, AZB brought on board Bangalore firm Anup Shah and Associates with a specialization in real estate.
