Tata counsel takes charge at Agama

Nitin Jain, a former counsel at Tata Chemicals, joined Agama Law Associates, a boutique commercial law practice, as its managing partner on 1 January. Archana Balasubramanian, who founded the firm in 2014, told India Business Law Journal that the firm’s “immediate goal is to add a dozen new clients from various sectors by the end of this year who start considering Agama as their extended legal arm.”

Agama currently has two partners and three associates. Balasubramanian confirmed that interviews for additional resources had already begun.

Jain began his career at Law Charter in Mumbai, handling corporate, property and banking-related litigation matters at Bombay High Court. He later went on to work as a legal manager at Mahindra Logistics and Mahinda & Mahindra before moving to Tata.
