Tri’s Padmaja Kaul joins Indus partnership

Trilegal counsel Padmaja Kaul, who’d been with the firm since 2012, has joined IndusLaw in Delhi as its second litigation partner in the city.

Besides boosting the firm’s litigation practice, she also specialises in Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) work, which is currently shared between two partners in Delhi and Mumbai, confirmed an IndusLaw partner.

Kaul holds a 2011 LLM in dispute resolution from University College London (UCL), and is a 2010 graduate of Amity Law School (IP University) in Delhi.

Her joining grows IndusLaw’s partnership to 14 in Delhi and 36 nationally.

The firm has around 50 lawyers in Delhi now.

We have reached out to Kaul and Trilegal for comment.

Update 19 June 2019: Trilegal partner Karan Singh commented: “Our best wishes to Padmaja” as she began “the next chapter” in her career.”

“We thank [her for her contribution] contribution to the firm,” he said.

Update 20 June 2019: Kaul commented: “I thank IndusLaw for showing their confidence in me and look forward to building on this incredible platform they have entrusted me with. My time at Trilegal was transformational and undoubtedly augmented my career trajectory. I am extremely grateful for all the encouragement and support received over the years.”

This is a great move for Indus. This will give them much needed litigation presence in Delhi. As far as Trilegal is concerned, they could have managed not losing her but I guess they can't make everyone happy. Partnership in Trilegal is very elusive and requires some book size.

Not true. Trilegal counsels are not expected to have books. The "book" you need to make partner is that of your sponsoring partner. That should tell you something.

Ok. You may be right. That has to be the case for home grown lawyers [...]. anyways best of luck to her and this looks like a good opportunity for her to develop a practice area. Any idea how much Indus pays to 1st year partners.

How big is Indus in Mumbai and Bangalore - total and city wide headcount?

Bhai 19 Jun 2019, 04:24

Don't know about Mumbai but in Bangalore they'll be in top 2 by headcount.

Its sad that her law school name (which really matters and not the LLM) has not been mentioned. One should be proud of their law school - whatever that may be.

We had just updated the story with it 10 minutes ago, actually. :) We weren't aware of her alma mater, since not everyone keeps a full profile on Linked-in but have now confirmed.

Proud ALS Alumna 19 Jun 2019, 11:08
