April 29, 2019:

DLS Law Offices Founder Dipti Lavya Swain, who was previously General Counsel at Azure Power and partner at Luthra & Luthra, has joined HSA Advocates as a partner.

He has joined with his team of associates, though the other two DLS partners, Haripad Mohanty in Orissa and Anish Desai in Mumbai, will not be joining HSA (though “the firm intends to continue a professional relationship” with them, “albeit in a different structure”, according to HSA’s press release).

He specializes in corporate and M&A, having started DLS around the middle of 2018, after having joined Azure Power in Jan 2018 from Luthra.

Swain is the second corporate partner to have joined HSA in the last week - Bangalore saw Kochhar & Co partner Gaurav Sahay join - following eight partners having moved to DSK Legal.

Senior litigator Faranaaz Karbhari had also joined HSA as a counsel on 19 April.
