Verus has hired former Dua Associates and Tatva Legal manager Siddharth Bhavnani as a partner in Delhi.

He will join the firm from 1 October, specialising in M&A, joint ventures and real estate.

Can anyone explain what is the role of a 'manager' at a law firm? Also what was his role / position at Dua?

Manager in many firms is equivalent of Principal Asso. / Counsel. Even Linklaters / TTA have a designation called Managing Asso. for lawyers just about to make partners.
