Akshay Chudasama, a Mumbai-based partner at J Sagar Associates, moved to Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co (SAM) on 1 June, to be the firm’s managing partner in Mumbai. A team of 18 lawyers who worked with Chudasama at J Sagar Associates followed him to SAM.

Chudasama, a key M&A lawyer, was part of the four member management committee of J Sagar Associates. His decision to move on after what he described as “nearly 10 wonderful years at JSA” is part of the ongoing seismic shift within Indian law firms that has been triggered by the setting up of SAM and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM).
Jay Parikh, a partner at Verus Advocates, also moved to SAM with his team on 1 June. (See Cover story, for analysis of people moves to SAM and CAM.)
