ANM Global Acquires Gautam & Co, Enhancing Its IP Practice

ANM Global has significantly expanded its team and overall IP practice through the acquisition of ‘Gautam & Co,’ an IP boutique firm established by Mr. Gautam Panchal in 2015.

This follows the earlier merger in April 2022 with another IP boutique firm, ‘Literati Juris.’

Mr. Panchal will join ANM Global along with his entire team. With over 21 years of experience in both contentious and non-contentious IP matters—ranging from advisory and transactions to prosecution, enforcement, and litigation—Mr. Panchal has served clients across diverse sectors, including pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, engineering, FMCGs, chemicals, infrastructure, electronics, technology, and startups.

Renowned for his acumen as a litigator, business enabler, and negotiator, Mr. Panchal has represented numerous domestic and multinational companies in civil and criminal courts. His involvement in landmark litigations has earned him recognition as one of the leading IP lawyers in the field.

Additionally, Mr. Panchal serves as an Independent Director on several publicly listed companies, demonstrating his commitment to corporate governance and strategic oversight. His extensive experience will significantly enhance and fortify ANM Global's Intellectual Property practice.

ANM Global’s Founder and Managing Partner, Mr. Nidhish Mehrotra was thrilled and commented: “We, at ANM Global are absolutely delighted to welcome the team of Gautam&Co into our family, and have utmost respect for all that their team have achieved over the years. I strongly believe that the inclusion of Gautam & Co will pave way for exceptional growth in various aspects of IP at ANM Global, and provide all of our clients with unmatched expertise and advisory in protection and enforcement of their IP, both at domestic and international level. We look forward to collectively scaling onto newer heights and continue to serve all our clients with maximum prowess, dedication and truth.”

Mr. Gautam Panchal commented: “I have known Nidhish, Rahul and team for many years now and their growth as a practice over the years has been exceptional. Their vision, culture and strong ethical values perfectly aligns with what we as a team want to achieve. Our team is elated to join ANM Global looking forward to play a role in further scaling up of the IP practice and continue to bring the best possible and holistic service and solutions to our Clients in the domain."

With the acquisition of Gautam & Co, ANM Global continues its remarkable and consistent journey of delivering timely and high-quality legal solutions to its clients.
