Bhowmick was one of the younger stars of Kanga. Having dealt with him, he is honest will always stand up for his team and a clever legal mind. SAM have an ace up their sleeve. Wish him and his team the best !

Having worked with Bhoumick extensively, can vouch for him anyday! Extremely professional and ethical guy!

Alas - I hope half the fraternity hasn't lost their real estate expert and you'll continue to be available for others!

Must be a setback for Kanga which is essentially still an old school firm! How much are Associates paid there nowadays?

SAM was one of only full-service law firms without a full-fledged real estate team in Mumbai. Will definitely help them gain and retain clients who would have gone elsewhere.

Yes. But she was handling general corp matters as well. And not much of conveyancing work. Mostly RE section of DDs. Team was nowhere close to strength of CAM, AZB or KCo.

Join Singh and Associates. Cash rich law firm having 250 professionals. CAM is nothing in front of this firm.

SAM JSA CAM AZB request you to release the pay hike now! It's unfair to pay fresh out of school lawyers like your more groomed ones. Not correct. Learn from Trilegal. It actually feels like business as usual
