Indian firm Majmudar & Co has relocated its Mumbai offices to potentially greener pastures in Bandra Kurla Complex, in what the firm hopes will be greater access to the local banking & financial industry.

The firm has moved from Nariman Point to the BKC, which it says will make it the first “major national law firm” there.  Its local litigation and dispute resolution team will be based near the Mumbai High Court in Flora Fountain. The firm also has an office in Bangalore. 

“In the last couple of years, BKC has [become] India’s new financial centre, and a number of multinational and Indian banks are now headquartered here, alongside a host of companies,” said the firm in a statement. “In line with this trend … [we are] now the first major national law firm in BKC.”

Recently another Indian firm, Khaitan & Co, made the move to larger premises in Mumbai, in the One Indiabulls centre.
