  • From First Associate to Equity Partner: Vertices Partners Expands Its Leadership Team with Three Senior Lawyers

    Vishal Mehta, Vikrant Anand, and Rajat Agarwal join the equity table as the firm marks internal career progressions across Mumbai and NCR offices

    In a move that highlights internal career growth and long-term commitment to talent, Vertices Partners has added three senior lawyers to its equity partnership. Vishal Mehta, Vikrant Anand, and Rajat Agarwal have each been admitted as equity partners, reflecting years of contribution across multiple practice areas.
    Vishal Mehta, who joined as the firm’s first associate, now becomes part of its senior leadership. Over the years, he has been closely involved in guiding top-tier transactions and building client confidence in the firm’s deal practice.

    Vikrant Anand has been a key figure in the NCR practice, handling cross-border and domestic transactions. Alongside client delivery, he has been active in shaping the Gurugram office and supporting wider growth efforts.
    Rajat Agarwal has led the firm’s litigation, dispute resolution, and investigations advisory mandates. He is also recognised as the main contact for the firm’s litigation work in the Legal500 directory, and has been central to its Banking & Finance practice.

    Managing Partner Vinayak Burman described the development as a recognition of individual journeys within the firm, noting that the three lawyers have contributed significantly to its culture, client delivery, and practice expansion since its inception.
    Alongside the equity additions, Vertices Partners has also confirmed a round of associate promotions in the Mumbai and NCR offices, part of its approach to defining clear career progression pathways.

    Founded in 2016, Vertices Partners operates across Mumbai, Gurugram, and Bengaluru with a full-service offering that covers private equity, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, dispute resolution, banking and finance, intellectual property, real estate, and media and technology. Since inception, the firm has sought to combine sectoral expertise with a people-first culture, positioning itself as a next-generation player in India’s legal market.
