Breaking: 63 Lawyers of L&L Partners join DSK Legal

Indian law firm DSK Legal has hired 63 ex-Lawyers of L&L Partners, including 21 Partners. They include Delhi-based senior partners Bobby Chandhoke (L) & Sudhir Sharma.

The news comes just about 1 year after L&L Partners lost 85 lawyers, including 21 partners, as part of an exodus led by erstwhile equity partner Mohit Saraf, who then set up his own outfit, Saraf & Partners, in 3 Indian cities.

As for the group headed to DSK, the exits happened after L&L reportedly dissolved its litigation arm, & gave the lawyers the option of leaving or joining the firm’s existing corporate arm under a unified structure. L&L also recently acquired the disputes practice of Verus, led by partner Krishnayan Sen.

The partners joining DSK specialise in a range of practice areas, including dispute resolution, competition & antitrust, employment, international trade, corporate/M&A, intellectual property, & fintech.   

Apart from Sharma & Chandhoke, the partners are Abdullah Hussain, Akhil Anand, Altaf Fathima, Anant Garg, Ashish Chandra, Deepali Chandhoke, Durga Bose Gandham, Kanika Chaudhary Nayar, Kunal Mehra, Mohit Bakshi, Pradyuman Dubey, Prashant Mishra, Prashant Pakhiddey, Saleem Hasan Ansari, Saurabh Tiwari, Shiv Sapra, Subhash Bhutoria, Suyash Srivastava, & Tarun Dua.

The new arrivals take DSK’s headcount to more than 250, including 63 partners & associate partners. As Fathima & Gandham are based in Hyderabad, their joining DSK gives the firm a presence in that southern city. DSK also has offices in Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi & Bengaluru.

Both Bobby Chandhoke & Sharma had been with  L&L since 1998. Chandhoke advises on commercial disputes including domestic & international arbitrations, interim reliefs & emergency relief, while Sharma specializes in joint ventures, oil & gas, infrastructure, contractual disputes, mining, consumer disputes, competition & more.
