Top Indian law firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has announced a second partner hire in two days, with the addition of real estate pro Siddharth Vedula to its general corporate practice in Mumbai.

Vedula is CAM’s third partner hire in 2024. The firm announced the addition of IP partner Revanta Mathur from Anand and Anand yesterday following the addition of KZ Kuriyan in Bengaluru. CAM also launched an Abu Dhabi office last month.

Vedula, who has been an independent consultant since mid-2023, previously served as general counsel of real estate giant Embassy Group for two years.  Prior to that, he has also worked at the Embassy REIT and at Samunnati, an agriculture-focused NBFC.

Vedula works with private equity funds as well as Indian and international corporates on transactions mainly in the technology, healthcare, real estate, and financial services sectors.

CAM now has 180 partners across its offices in the country and internationally.
