CAM litigation team facing losses of good litigators. Time to introspect. With rising demand for good litigators, can a Tier 1 Firm afford such loss.

Congratulations Bhau. Am glad you got out of that toxic environment and will be able to know showcase your full potential.

Not all partners need to be rainmakers but all partners should ideally be good lawyers and have ability to run a matter in litigation.

You have all the skill sets to succeed. Definitely a great grab for Link Legal. People in CAM may feel that it's not a loss, cos we only see the numbers, but it's people like him with almost 10 years in the firm who contributed to its journey.
