In what is seen as a surprise move, Rohan Shah, who has been the managing partner of Economic Laws Practice (ELP) since its inception in 2001, is to step down and exit the firm and its equity partnership on 30 September.
Speaking to India Business Law Journal, Shah said that transitioning the leadership of the firm was always part of his plan and “certainly not knee-jerk in any way”.
In what he described as a “well-prepared move”, Suhail Nathani, another founding partner of the firm, will take over as managing partner when Shah leaves.
