IndusLaw has hired RDA Legal partner Anupam Prasad and his two team members, the second time this year that the law firm has poached from its rival.
Prasad joins as a corporate partner in IndusLaw’s Mumbai office, along with lawyers Anindita Ganguly and Trupti Katale.
Prasad has experience in general corporate and commercial laws practice, private equity investments, joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Earlier this year, IndusLaw hired RDA Legal’s entire employment practice team including partner Avik Biswas. In January, IndusLaw beefed up its New Delhi office by hiring seven executives from HSA Advocates.
IndusLaw was the second-ranked law firm last year by number of private equity and venture capital deals advised.
