Mentos idea - Bring back Pingal and Souvik.
1. You need to regain credibility in the market. For this you need to shed all vestige of RDA, PXV;
2. Don't do any BD straightaway. Concentrate only on your work for a few years; and gain confidence of the clients through your work alone;
3. Merge your practice with a mid-tier firm where you will be relevant and could, at a later point in time, assume a leadership role. Do not assume any leadership role straightaway.
4. Publish scholarly articles which would demonstrate that you are still o top of the game on law;
5. Do not give any interview or do any PR event;
6. Finally, take a break for two weeks, refresh, and reboot.
Pure unsolicited advice. So, feel free to discard it wholly.
