Trilegal’s corporate practice is one of the strongest in the country, and the addition of this team allows us to grow it further in very interesting directions.”

Sharing his thoughts, Sridhar Gorthi, Partner and Member of the Management Committee at Trilegal, said, “We look forward to welcoming this group of well-regarded practitioners to the firm. Each of them has built a strong reputation in their area of practice and we are delighted to invite them to join our partnership.”

Trilegal has been consistently growing its partnership with the addition of nearly 25 new partners across practices in the last one year, including 10 in the corporate practice. The addition of these eight new partners would take the tally to 33.

Akshay Jaitly, Partner and Member of the Board, Trilegal, said, “I am very happy that such a talented and highly experienced bunch of lawyers will be joining the firm soon. We are excited to embrace new opportunities that they will bring along with the ability to increase the depth of our services for clients.”

Yogesh Singh, Partner and Head of the Corporate practice, said, “I have known Amit and his partners through a number of transactions and it gives me great pleasure in welcoming them to our partnership. Their addition will further strengthen our NCR corporate practice and further enhance our focus on M&A and PE/VC transactions.”
