A team of IP & entertainment lawyers from India law firm Anand & Anand has left to unite with the competition, joining the Delhi office of Luthra & Luthra.

Practice leader and partner Ameet Datta brought associates Mohit Lahoty, Himanshu Bagai and Thomas George with him to his new firm, adding a significant boost to the Luthra IP practice.

Datta cited the cross-disciplinary capabilities of Luthra as the reason for the move.

"We look forward to taking advantage of the great cross-disciplinary synergies that are present at Luthra & Luthra," he said.

The moves follow the recent departure of Shewatasree Majmudar, who left Anand & Anand mid-year to create his own IP firm, Fidus Law Chambers.
