Indian law firm Saraf and Partners has continued its aggressive expansion from last year with the addition of Abhiraj Arora as a partner in its securities and regulatory practice. Arora joins from Economic Laws Practice, where he was associate partner.

Saraf’s first partner hire in 2024 comes on the back of an aggressive hiring spree in 2023. In November, the Mohit Saraf-led firm launched an office in Hyderabad led by partners Durga Bose Gandham and Altaf Fathima from DSK Legal and hired an M&A team from Luthra and Luthra Law Offices.

Prior to that, it added M&A partners Ramya Suresh from AZB and Dhruv Chatterjee from Trilegal in Mumbai, and tax partner Amit Gupta in Delhi. It also merged with real estate boutique SRGR.

Arora joined ELP after spending eight years at India’s securities regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India. According to the firm, he “specialises in navigating complex regulatory environments and delivering strategic advice to protect clients within a rapidly changing securities arena, amid increased regulatory scrutiny and rising enforcement cases.”

Saraf now has 39 partners across offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
