Rustam Mulla, the Managing Partner of Desai Desai Carrimjee & Mulla (DDCM), has made a strategic move to join Veritas Legal as a Senior Partner. This transition marks a significant development in the legal industry, bringing together Mulla's extensive expertise with the growing capabilities of Veritas Legal.
Mulla is a fourth-generation Advocate & Solicitor with nearly three decades of experience. He has developed a strong expertise across various areas of law, particularly in Real Estate and General Corporate matters. His practice also extends to high-stakes litigation, arbitration, and dispute resolution, making him a valuable asset to any legal team.
In addition to his legal practice, Mulla serves as an accredited Independent Director with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and currently serves on the board of listed and private limited companies. He has also been an Honorary Legal Advisor to the Jai Vakeel Foundation since 2001, demonstrating his commitment to social causes and community service.
Mulla's career began in 1997 as a Solicitor Associate with Mulla & Mulla & Craigie Blunt & Caroe, where he served as a Partner from 2001 to 2008. In 2008, he co-founded and became the Managing Partner of DDCM, a position he held until his recent move to Veritas Legal.
On Mulla's joining, Abhijit Joshi, Founding and Managing Partner of Veritas Legal, said, “We have known Rustam for some time and have enjoyed working with him. He will be a great addition to the firm and will augment our real estate, dispute resolution, and general corporate practice. We are excited to have him with us.”
Mulla added, “Abhijit and I have successfully worked together on a number of matters over the years. I have consistently been impressed with the growth of Veritas Legal and the foundation it has laid. I am excited to partner with the firm and to bring my experience to the team.”
This move is expected to strengthen Veritas Legal's position in the market, particularly in key areas such as real estate, dispute resolution, and general corporate matters. Mulla's extensive experience and reputation are likely to attract new clients and enhance the firm's reputation for excellence in legal services.
