The order says he is a senior counsel. When did he become one?

If you see the order, Percy never appeared for Abhishek or his wife. He appeared for the company. Maninder Singh appeared for the Abhishek and his wife.

There is an error in the report. Siddharth Aggarwal represented Gerard Hoy.

At least read the judgment before publishing an article with a sensational headline as above. At best, shoddy reporting and at worst, an advertisement for CAM in exchange for consideration of some sort.

Agree the report is a little sparse, but it's certainly not an advertisement. However, it is the first dispute case we reported on by Percy Billimoria since at CAM, so it's somewhat interesting from that perspective...

Amazing how law firm partners make themselves out to be hot shit. Nobody in litigation cares.

Percy is a corporate guy with some 5-6 years of lit experience, like an SA. In this matter, Maninder Singh appeared with Siddhartha Agarwal, who is a very good counsel on the criminal side.

Percy (and team) also got their names on the Order sheet for appearance, cause billing kaise hoga re Baba? Appearing for the company as A-4 when the counsel you have briefed is already appearing for the main accused is common practise.

Don't get me wrong, Percy is a nice guy, but he's not doing anything hundreds of lit lawyers aren't doing daily anyway.

In other news, lifelong law firm litigation partners at AZB , Rajendra Barot and VP Singh lost Tata Docomo. Kian do not censor their names topline the order. Just goes to show that someone like Percy with 5 years of litigation experience and otherwise M+A experience is doing fine. Thank you!

Instead of feeling jealous- why dont you do something that gets your name in the press. It is easy to sit on an armchair/ stool and just voice opinion. Deserve it and do it.

One of the 100's of Lit lawyers.
