“I am incredibly impressed with the firm’s global proposition, which enables it to serve clients in more than 40 countries worldwide,” said Ambekar. “The firm’s multijurisdictional capabilities and strong interna- tional reputation offer a great platform for the growth and development of my practice.”
Managing partner and head of corporate at CMS in Singapore, Toby Grainger, said: “As emerging economies in Asia continue to see investment inflows, Babita’s appointment expands the firm’s broad bench of trans- action and geographical experts, and strengthens our capabilities in offering clients top-tier advice across a range of sectors.” With the new hire, CMS has 10 partners in Singapore.
