Fox Mandal & Associates has hired Zeeshan Khan as a partner and head of its banking and finance practice for Mumbai and the Western India region. Khan, who will be based at the Mumbai branch, joins from Luthra and Luthra Law Offices, according to Law.asia.
Khan has more than 16 years of expertise covering project and infrastructure finance, private credit, acquisition and structured finance, debt capital markets, and stressed asset resolution. Law.asia reports he has advised lenders, borrowers, investors, financial institutions and private credit platforms on domestic and cross-border transactions. Before Luthra, he worked at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co, AZB & Partners, DSK Legal and Dentons Link Legal.
Shuva Mandal, chairman and managing partner, said: "His depth across the credit lifecycle significantly enhances the offering we can bring to our clients." Khan said the firm's national platform and deep sectoral relationships provide an ideal foundation for complex financing and special situations mandates.
Separately, Bar & Bench and Law.asia report that Prashaant Vikram Rajput has joined Fox & Mandal as a partner in capital markets in Mumbai. Those reports use the name Fox & Mandal, while the Khan report uses Fox Mandal & Associates; the sources do not state explicitly that these are the same firm. Bar & Bench says Rajput was a partner at Economic Laws Practice for the past two years and previously worked at Link Legal, White & Brief and Luthra and Luthra.
Both outlets report Rajput has more than two decades of equity and debt capital markets experience, including IPOs, follow-on public offers, rights issues, qualified institutions placements, ADRs, GDRs, FCCBs and Singapore Exchange medium-term note offerings.
