In a powerful move, Khaitan & Co, a heavyweight in the legal arena, has turbocharged its employment practice by bringing aboard two star Partners.
Avik Biswas will now grace the Bengaluru office with his presence, while Vaibhav Bhardwaj anchors the Delhi stronghold. Amar Sinhji, the firm’s Executive Director of Human Resources, beamed with pride, stating, “We are thrilled to have Avik and Vaibhav join our ranks. Their deep expertise, seasoned experience, and robust client relationships are bound to propel our Employment, Labour & Benefits practice to new heights, both nationally and internationally. We wish them unparalleled success.”
Avik’s resume is a testament to his prowess, boasting high rankings from Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, Who’s Who Legal, IBLJ, and Asia Law. His forte lies in employment law, governance, internal investigations, and anti-bribery and anti-corruption issues. His collaborative spirit has seen him work seamlessly with the legal, compliance, finance, and HR sectors of multinational giants. Currently, he holds the title of Regional Representative (Asia) for the Anti-Corruption Committee of the International Bar Association (IBA).
Vaibhav, with over 15 years under his belt, is a sage in employment law, ethics, and investigations. His counsel has guided clients through policy structuring, executive exits, workforce restructuring, employee secondments, closures, and employment intricacies in mergers and acquisitions. Vaibhav is no stranger to complex internal disciplinary investigations and has earned his stripes with accolades from Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, and Asia Law.
With this formidable duo, Khaitan & Co is set to redefine the contours of employment law practice, fortifying its position as a legal juggernaut.
