Rishabh Shroff

About

For Rishabh Shroff, co-head of the private client practice and head of international business development at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM), the past year has been a lesson in navigating uncertainty. The Iran conflict, shifting U.S. tariff policies and a more cautious foreign investor sentiment reshaped cross-border deal activity, forcing India’s largest law firm to adapt to a changing global landscape. Rishabh, who has been instrumental in building CAM’s Japan-focussed practice and expanding its broader international platform, believes that diversification has been the firm’s biggest strength. “I feel it’s been an accelerated journey over the last few years, with both legal and geopolitical changes influencing my growth. With uncertainty and change being the norm, I think my ability to assimilate and assess those complexities and help clients navigate those issues has gotten better,” he says. A partner at CAM and son of managing partner Cyril Shroff, Rishabh has carved out his own niche by driving the firm’s international growth strategy. Over the past 12-18 months, he has played a significant role in expanding revenue from overseas markets, particularly Japan and Europe. “With growth arising in key markets such as the Nordics post the recent FTA, or from Japan with recent attention from Japanese mega banks, I am lucky to play a part in these deals and grow the brand and revenue pie there,” he says. Alongside cross-border transactions, Rishabh advises India’s leading business families on succession planning, governance and estate structuring. “I am working with a few families across India, especially in the North and deep South, on guiding the family on their global estate planning and also a tricky phase of generational change where the mid-30s next-gen is stepping into leadership roles,” he says.
