What a catch for AZB! To infinity and beyond, Gautam!

Huge loss to WG. Probably won’t, but this should really shake them and make them introspect on where the firm is heading (hint: downward).

AZB has dealt another body blow to an already waning WG - first it was Anand Shah and team and now this.

No. Beside litigation, the real estate and banking & finance practices are at par with any firm.

No matter how hard AZB tries, it can never catch up to the other two top tier banking firms (CAM and Luthra). AZB is a pure M&A and it should just stay that way.

Luthra?? I would have understood if you had said TT&A, but Luthra? “Warmly” is clearly hotboxing in the lockdown! Where are you managing to get the good stuff from during lockdown bro?

Only poor KCO has not been able to attract lateral talent for its BnF practice
