AZB & Partners

AZB & Partners is a tour de force in the antitrust and competition space due to its extensive capabilities, which span cartel mandates, merger control matters, and abuse of dominance cases. The team regularly handles complex, cross-border, high-profile, and high-value matters for an impressive client roster which continues to expand, incorporating businesses from the technology, aviation, and media and entertainment industry sectors, among others. Co-heading the practice are Ram Kumar Poornachandran, Bharat Budholia, and Hemangini Dadwal, all of whom bring a wealth of expertise to the group. Poornachandran’s position as a non-governmental adviser to the CCI makes him an asset to the team, while Budholia stands out for his breadth of practice which covers a slew of competition matters such as cartel enforcement, merger control, and abuse of dominance. Dadwal is adept in both antitrust and competition matters, and has deep experience acting before the CCI, the appellate tribunal, and the Supreme Court. Gaurav Bansal and Sanjeev Kumar Sriram are also key members of the team.
