Full-service law firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) has appointed Abhishek Kalra as a partner in its corporate practice. He will be based in Mumbai, the firm said in a statement.
Kalra rejoins the firm after serving as counsel at Trilegal for over two years. He previously worked with CAM between 2020 and 2023 as a principal associate.
With more than 12 years of post-qualification experience, Kalra specializes in mergers and acquisitions and private equity, and has advised multinational corporations and PE clients on investments, acquisitions, exits, and corporate governance.
Kalra holds a BA LLB from Bharati Vidyapeeth (2012) and simultaneously completed the professional program from The Institute of Company Secretaries of India. He began his legal career as an associate at Naik Naik & Co, and has worked with AZB & Partners, Desai & Diwanji, CAM, and most recently, Trilegal.
His transactional experience spans sectors, including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and information technology.
Kalra’s appointment is part of a broader expansion plan by CAM.
