AZB & Partners Delhi promotes 7 corporate partners (most from non-NLUs)

AZB & Partners Delhi office, following Mumbai’s promotion of a total of seven in the last two months, has also promoted seven of its lawyers to partner rank.

It is understood that the following senior associate, from the following alma mater, have been given the nod:

Give the NLU's some time. We will annhilate all mediocre colleges, irrespective of whether they are private or government run. We do appreciate and uphold merit, unlike others! Deep pockets or a certificate (not mentioning which one) can get you an LLB these days.

Very sad to see such arrogance. Not necessary that NLU produces good lawyers. The NLUs were producing some good lawyers but not any more. Due to various factors, complacency and mediocrity has stepped in the NLUs too.

I guess you have not been exposed to a life outside your 'national law college'.

Anyways, let me tell you a little about it today. Once you have completed law school, a national law college may help you land a job but it won't do squat to get you partnership, unless of course you start your own practice.

AZB Mumbai-Delhi should, in the least, profess to be one firm by announcing promotions same time?

Given the number of partner's in Gautam Saha's team, it seems that fresher salaried partners would be reporting to and working with older salaried partners and not independently as generally happens in other big firms.

Also, when was the last equity partner induction in AZB Delhi?

Gautam and Rachit's team, they are not the same right?

Rachit's team has got a lot of partners too.


Are the new partners sitting with the associates or are they getting those claustrophobic cubicles?
