Absolutely, been a while since we’ve seen one of these. Really gives us all hope. Ishan is a shining example of hard work, toil and grit - always happy to take time out and train his juniors and he’s a fun guy on top of being brilliant at his work. Practically everyone in the firm would agree this promotion is long overdue and truly well deserved, no controversy at all. He has really earned this.

very well deserved for Priyanka ma'm and Vivek Sir. I had the chance to work with them during my internship. Priyanka ma'm is also a lovely person. She not only worked with us cheerfully through the night for an urgent filing but followed up with a call to us interns once we reached home and gave us a well-done cupcake once we received a favourable order. Congratulations!!

Have the counsel promotions to the press release as there are no new woman partners. Smart!

Surprising how most of the comments are about congratulating 2 or 3 people. What about the rest? Are they not good lawyers too?

AZB Mumbai and merit finally redeem themselves somewhat, after the baffling and Jazzy promotions last time around...!

While JSA's press release includes promotions to SA & PA, why do AZB & Trilegal's press releases only talk about Partner & Counsel promotions?
Based on LinkedIn connections, AZB has internally announced SA promotions, so why not in the press release?
