This story never claimed to be anything more than a quick summary. Feel free to click through to the original.

We're merely trying to keep readers informed, which is more than can be said for the Dailymail...

I have worked opposite this guy ... It is amazing how anybody and everybody is setting up law firms in India currently ... it is like the pool parlours coming up at every street corner in the late 90's. Nevertheless, credit to him and wish him good luck!
