CMS INDUSLAW has announced that Faraz Alam Sagar will be joining as an Equity Partner, and Head- Dispute Resolution & White-Collar Crimes, in its Mumbai office.
Faraz will be leading the Firm’s practice in cross-border litigation, regulatory investigations, whitecollar crime, corporate and forensic investigations, and international sanctions and sanctions advisory.
Faraz has spent over two decades navigating complex, multi-jurisdictional matters, advising and representing clients across jurisdictions. He has advised governments, multinational corporations, and high-net-worth individuals across a range of contentious and non-contentious mandates, with particular focus on cross-border disputes, trade remedies, sanctions and regulatory enforcement. His practice is recognised for its sustained record of handling matters that engage both Indian law and international legal frameworks — often simultaneously and at significant scale.
Prior to joining CMS INDUSLAW, Faraz was a Co-head and Partner at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. He has also worked with leading international firms including Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and PricewaterhouseCoopers (Frankfurt). He is a Permanent Member of the Bombay Bar Association.
Avimukt Dar and Suneeth Katarki (Founding & Senior Partners) said in a joint statement: “Faraz brings rare experience at the intersection of disputes, investigations, sanctions and regulatory risk. His addition will further strengthen our ability to advise clients on complex international arbitration and litigation.”
Faraz Alam Sagar said: “I am deeply grateful for my time at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. As I embark on this new journey at CMS INDUSLAW, I look forward to expanding Firm’s international practice across the region and bringing world-class expertise to clients navigating complex crossborder matters.”
