Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM) continues its strategic growth in GIFT City with the addition of a private equity and venture capital-focused transactions team from Krishnamurthy & Co (K Law), led by partner Alok Sonker.

Sonker brings over 15 years of experience advising on general corporate advisory and transactional matters, primarily private equity (fund set-up and transactions) and M&A. Prior to joining K Law, he was associated with L&L Partners (Luthra and Luthra), Link Legal India Law Services, and Khaitan & Co.

Sonker's team will be based out of CAM's Mumbai, GIFT City, and Ahmedabad offices. Last week, the firm added Jay Parikh from Luthra to its Ahmedabad and Mumbai offices.

"I welcome Alok to the firm. His experience and approach align perfectly with our vision for the growth and excellence of our GIFT City and Ahmedabad offices," said Paridhi Adani, partner and head of CAM's Ahmedabad office, in a statement.
