Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has officially been awarded a Foreign Law Practice (FLP) license in Singapore and has hired the former Singapore head of Nishith Desai Associates, Vivek Kathpalia, to head that office.

Cyril Amarchand announced its Singapore launch earlier in the year, marking its debut international foray. It was then set up as a representative office but now, with its FLP license, the firm will be permitted to provide Indian law advice and help its clients navigate Indian legal and regulatory frameworks.
