IndusLaw has hired Mayank Mishra as a disputes partner from J Sagar Associates (JSA) Delhi.

Indus co-founding partner Avimukt Dar commented: “Mayank adds depth and expertise which will significantly enhance our disputes practice.

Not heard anything particularly bad about the work Atmosphere there - other than general law firm complaints
The only problem I see with JSA (and this applies across all their offices) is the general lack of application of mind/ law. They just bulldoze through a document, hardly negotiate on law, take odd (incorrect) legal positions, etc. They end up leaving such big gaps in the docs, I cant even begin to explain. I guess what I am trying to say is that its a quality issue. Please don't get me wrong, they have some very good lawyers - Katarki, Katta, Ganpati, Dar, Nag (lots more). But these guys can't be expected to look at each and every single doc, read every line.
In time the general lot at Indus will improve as well, like any other firm with the same trajectory (they are destined to make it to tier 1).
