Yes, and? Given this was an existing JV, may have been a settlement or resolution of covenant breaches, resolution of a deadlock or other such contentious issue/ "dispute" by way of the buy-out no, kid?

Can’t believe firms taking credit for hard work done by other firms? Also didn’t AZB have a lit practice ? Why take Aarna Law?

It’s not uncommon to have other law firms involved to provide specific inputs ... and as far as the credit goes, does the reader know which firm worked the most?

Because they handle Debevoise's marketing in India?

Possibly due to a belief in socialism ?

Bangalore legal market is so hierarchical with select legal families running the show even if they do not have an iota of legal acumen.No wonder, Mumbai lawyers were running the show.
