Law firm Khaitan recruits tax specialist from LKS in Bangalore
In the bustling tech capital of Bengaluru, the legal landscape is undergoing significant changes. Several prominent law firms have expanded their presence in the city, attracting top talent and catering to the growing demand for legal services in the tech and corporate sectors.
Among the firms that have made a mark in Bengaluru are J. Sagar Associates, AZB & Partners, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co, and Economic Law Practice. These firms have been instrumental in shaping the city's legal market, offering expertise in various areas such as corporate law, technology, and dispute resolution.
One of the most recent additions to Bengaluru's legal scene is Khaitan & Co, which has brought on board Brijesh Kothary as an indirect tax specialist. Kothary, with his experience in optimizing tax exposure and structuring efficient business models, is expected to bolster the firm's capabilities in the tax and customs domain.
Kothary, who previously worked at Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan, brings with him a wealth of experience, having advised multinational and large domestic companies on creating efficient tax structures. At his previous firm, he also handled several long-term retainer clients, demonstrating his ability to provide consistent and high-quality service.
Another notable development in Bengaluru's legal market is the launch of Boolean Legal by Lalu John Philip, a former partner at J Sagar Associates. However, details about the firm's focus areas, establishment, and impact on the local legal ecosystem are currently unavailable.
In addition to these established firms, new players such as Antares Legal, Emerald Law, Stratage Law Partners, and Wadia Ghandy & Co have also launched Bengaluru outposts, further enhancing the city's legal infrastructure.
While specific details about lateral partner movements in Bengaluru in 2024 are scarce, it is clear that the city continues to be a vibrant legal hub, attracting both domestic and international firms. As India remains a leading destination for global capability centers, Bengaluru's tech-driven economy and status as a hub for innovation and corporate services make it an attractive destination for law firms seeking to expand their reach.
