It says former AZB partner, so technically non-poaching agreement not breached.

Earlier you used to write (Cyril) Amarchand. Now you write Cyril (Amarchand). Why?

Impressive, you have a keen eye, my friend - no reason for the change, you're right it's a little inconsistent and probably an accident (though neither version is the actual name of the firm)!

Ah, I thought it suggested a shift in the likelihood of the split from Cyril being the uncertain part of the name to Amarchand being the uncertain part.

Also, any news of any other senior-ish partner moves from the others in the big 6 to CAM/SAM (by senior-ish, i mean people who were'nt made partner in the months before leaving).

Also, how are these guys being paid prior to the split becoming effective. Surely Amarchand Mangaldas as it exists is not paying salaries to these people?

Kian, when will the poaching of associates commence? Should one start making her / his CV now?
Yes 29 Apr 2015, 10:02

Kian is just the person to ask these questions. Next, ask him the person you should date and the clothes you should wear.

It's already commenced, no? Just not being reported at the moment?

The non-poach was always limited to AMSS Mumbai and AZB Mumbai. Although there was talk of even that being done away with. Does anyone here know for sure?

No comments on whether it's a great hire or a wrong one ? AZB insiders ?
Now then 29 Apr 2015, 08:53

Let's just say without being too blunt or risk being censored by Kian, it is unlikely that AZB is going to find it too difficult to recover from this loss(?).It is also unlikely that any associates working under her in AZB is moving with her. Stating any further could amount to unsubstantiated criticism which should not be published here. One does wonder what is the logic of these hires by CAM? Ability to do work, ability to get work or simply seeking strength in numbers. Time will tell.
