MUMBAI: Vikram Nankani, co-founder and partner of Mumbai-headquartered law firm Economic Law Practice (ELP) and head of litigation and dispute resolution has been designated as senior counsel by the Bombay High Court. Nankani, 52, will retire as partner with the law firm with immediate effect as required under the regulations.
