Resigned? or made to resign? Perhaps some of the non-Shroff partners can answer the mystery

Downfall of sam begins. They never had great corporate practice, whatever two three noticeable faces they had who were bringing bit of revenue to them have also started leaving now.

Umm...really? You think KT's loss will undo the huge progress made by SAM Bbay? Or are you just a first year associate with an axe to grind?

Just getting so called big names was huge progress for SAM? How many matters has the MnA head brought? I hear the number is much lower than expected!

KT was a partner at Delhi, last I heard.

The downfall of corporate at SAM Delhi is beginning

Wow, the hits just keep rolling! Never a dull day at Amarchand Towers. KT may not have been glamourous, was definitely one of the stalwarts, and will be missed. I wonder which firm he'll join. Would be a good fit for CAM but don't think he got along with Mr. CAM.

Mr Luthra, I sense your strategy at work here. If not, please take this guy. You need at least 1 guy in your firm who is known in the circle.

Eagerly awaiting the death knell for these promoter laala driven scams of firms.

KT is a solid lawyer. Very well regarded by clients and peers. He will be a great asset to any firm.

No mysteries. He is just going back home - wants to focus on other, more important and meaningful, things in life!!
