Anu Tiwari to exit AZB

AZB & Partners Mumbai-based financial services partner Anu Tiwari is leaving the firm.

Tiwari, a 2007 NUJS Kolkata graduate, was made partner at AZB in 2016, after having followed senior partner Ashwath Rau on his move from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas-cum-Amarchand Mangaldas Mumbai.

Tiwari specialises in financial services transactional, advisory and regulatory work, having been involved in at least 10 transactions in 2018-19, according to our deals database.

Rau commented: “It’s been a 14-year-old association and I have seen him grow as a lawyer. He will be missed. And am sure he’ll do well.

“I will always wish him the very best.”

We have not been able to confirm at the time of publication whether Tiwari will be joining elsewhere, but have reached out to him for comment.

Someone, please send this to the Managing Partner at Algo Legal. This quote seems to have been scripted for him!! Just look at how he managed to make 50% of his founding team run away in less than a year..A classic people repellant and motivation killer..:)

CSS send his regards. From the original bunch of partners who moved from CAM to AZB comprising Ashwath, Nisha, Ganesh, Dhruv and Anu only Ashwath is left at AZB. Matter of time before he leaves too. Then it will just ZB if A takes a walk.

AZB Mumbai bleeding partners. All from team Ashwath. Leaves him a weakened force when his entire senior bench resigns. First funds, then strategic M&A with Dhruv Singhal and now FRP. Three verticals is a massive business loss in less than a year. Gautam Saha and Anil Kasturi are great leaders. Time for A to consult them.

If that is the case, it will be a great addition to already strong practice of Vertices. This firm is giving some serious competition to the Tier 1s, latest being conducting VDD on a USD 300 Million whitehat Jr transaction.

No one wants to join CAM as family has ruined the firm.

Hope Reeba, Nivedita, Arjun and Rashmi don’t leave the firm and start a new firm since they have all the experience required a boutique firm - PE/M&A, capital market and labour law.

Good fellow but will find it difficult to establish himself (without Ashwath and his juniors) where ever he goes!

In CAM, SAM he will have to suck up to the Shroffs and their kids. Trilegal won't hire him coz they already have Shruti etc. KCo seems to have gone on a lateral partner hiring freeze long ago.

Having said that, I know he will still choose CAM :)

There’s more to come. Grapevine has it that some senior partners are exploring other options as they can’t take all the CAM style politics that has infected AZB. The rot has truly set in.

Micromanagement yes. Politics no. Because even that’s micromanaged to death. But it feel more CAMmy now. Check out the partners made after the great migration - everyone has a shot at AZB partnership now. Chin up fellow associates! Acche Din happens out there.

Micromanagement is worse than politics. 35 plus year olds constantly been told by a 60 year old on what to do and how to do. Day in and day out - every hour. Sounds okay?

Can someone say which firm doesn't have politics? Or at least comparatively less? Genuine question so no trolling please. Raising the question because in every topic, every firm is said to be having internal political issues.

JSA used to belong to the relatively less category. Don't know how it is now. NDA too.

What about firms other than JSA? What is the situation in other big firms? SAM, CAM, KCo, AZB, Trilegal, L&L etc? And in growing firms like Indus, S&R, Linklegal etc?

Veritas Legal. It has no politics and lots of culture. In fact that’s what you’re paid in and you can only think only about how to pay rent and have no time for firm politics. Then they don’t promote internal talent and get external partners. So there’s zero internal politics or competition.

From what I remember, he liked to underline defined terms rather than make them bold. Shows a real sense of humor which must have tragically been viewed as a rebellious streak by his AZB colleagues.

"Sweetie what is this raabbish formatting.." FAMOUS LAST WORDS

I say, he was being bold by pushing for underlining of defined terms. As a client, when you receive a document where you see underlined definitions, you get excited! You think here is a tech savy lawyer saving you the trouble of 2 windows or scrolling. When you hover over the underlined term - nothing happens! NOTHING!

Yes. It's a term of endearment if used by mama or papa or mama who sits next to papa. But go ahead and twist it out of proportion. Say it's patronising, insulting etc... Because you know you want to create a mountain out of a coin hill.
