The world's no. 1 funds lawyer referred to above has worked hard to take CAM's Funds practice from top 3 to not being anywhere in Top 5 !!! This is no small feat given how tough it would have been :)

How much does a newly inducted partner earn at a top firm like CAM?

He was easily the best, busiest and sought after funds lawyer at AZB and this is a tremendous loss. Fantastic pick by CAM and the move will further advance his market leading presence.

The context here is that there are barely two or three funds lawyers there to choose from.

Dear Ex-KCO, If you continue using "anyways", it will be difficult to get recognition just about anywhere.

How many funds partners has AZB lost in the last couple of years?!!

Ganesh, Aditya, Vivaik. Is it the team or big mama or both.

The loss of good lawyers in funds team is one of the outcomes of the infighting between the 2 Fund Czars in AZB who definitely cannot think above their own team and interests.

Anyways, it is a good move for Vivaik. A genuine, true and hardworking lawyer who has made his name in the industry from his knowledge and good for CAM to catch a gem of a person and significantly add value to their Funds team.

Do they even think about their teams? Just do a survey....I am sure you will have a lot of things to hear.

Show some research skills and trawl through comments on CAM stories. You'll get the answer.

I don't understand how you kids manage to write paragraphs with only ! and ? for punctuation.

would that not be outdated? I think they revise their pay structure every financial year.
