Trilegal counsel Nitish Nair joins Méridien, Sheraton mega-hotels chain as GC South Asia

Trilegal counsel Nitish Nair will join multinational hospitality giant Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which owns such hotel brands as the Westin, Sheraton and Le Méridien, as its associate director legal, South Asia.

Nair, who was promoted to counsel at Trilegal in 2013, said that the Starwood offer was very attractive and he was keen on exploring alternate career options similar to his current work profile.

He added that he really enjoyed his time at Trilegal and wished the firm all the best.

Trilegal Delhi partner Anand Prasad said: “We are sorry to lose him, but wish him the very best with the new assignment. He is an excellent lawyer.”

Nair is a 2006 NLU Jodhpur graduate and had worked at Paras Kuhad & Associates until 2007 when he joined Trilegal.

Very good lawyer and fairly popular within the firm. Quite a loss for the firm.

Kian;
There is some problem with LI layout on iPhone. The first two/three comments are covered by the disclaimer and generally it's a little haywire.

Do you have a technical team or do you do it yourself? - just curious, you may not respond if it's trade secret;).

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, Safari.

Thanks, that's very helpful - I do the design and tech myself, which might explain why it's so hideous and flakey :) - I don't have access to an iPhone for testing, which is maybe why it looks a bit funny sometimes.

Safari and iPhone sometimes react strangely to hovering pop-ups, will see if can change...

Edit: A workaround until it's fixed could be to tap somewhere else on screen? Then the disclaimer should disappear...

Absolutely the same problem on Blackberry also, since yesterday or day before. The 'disclaimer' covers the first couple of comments. It gets proper only after re-loading the page.
The small icons of the various ads (IDIA etc.) are also overlapping with a bit of the text around them.
Kudos! 25 Apr 2015, 15:30

So good to see that ALL comments are happy and positive. Mr. Nair must be doing something really right to earn this feat on LI. :)

If no one hates you, then you are obviously doing something wrong.

The title of this post says GC South Asia and the post then goes on to say Associate Director is this an error??? there are quite a few steps between GC and AD Legal.

Same only. Some companies like to say GC, others say, vice executive president of legal (director) emerging markets. GC itself is a bit of a generic term anyway, to signify legal head or the like (in our headline)
