Who cares? When we all pass into the void, will the money these guys made, or the deals they worked on be remembered? Do something positive!

We are the troll army! We love to troll! Isn’t that what this is about?! Really guys..

Why can’t we for once just celebrate a bunch of young lawyers doing well professionally instead of just being jealous and trolling for no reason. I am sure these people are celebrating today and won’t bother. But the collective mentality of trying to put others down reflects a sorry state of affairs...

@Kian it has almost become fashionable for people to object to seemingly innocuous comments (and this is without any discrimination) and spew venom. Maybe time to rethink the object (and like) button!

Yes actually, we've been considering revising the 'object' button in recent months... Any thoughts welcome.

I sure as hell hope you haven't been one of these negative folks yourself. I won't be surprised if you yourself have at least once been the one objecting as well as negatively commenting.

Kian, please add the graduation years for each of the promotees. Anshuman, Purvi, Samarth and Snigdhaneel are all 2011 graduates. Unsure about the others.

Congratulations to Harish, Purvi and Anshuman. Anyone who has worked with them will know how very hard-working, sincere and kind they are. I have also heard only good things about Nipun, Samarth and Snigdhaneel.

Two observations though:

1. What's with the serial objecting? It's not like any of them here are assholes or nepotistic beneficiaries.

2. It's a damning indictment on Luthra that only half a dozen of their 60-something homegrown hires from 2009 -11 are still at the firm. No other Tier 1 firm has this level of attrition.

Let’s give credit where it’s due - MS has been an inspiration for these young partners and the entire firm knows that he has taken out time to mentor the two newly made Delhi partners. While many of their peers couldn’t take the law firm pressure and the expectation to excel in a tier 1 law firm, these stalwarts stuck around and excelled and how because of Mohit’s guidance! Same holds true for VK as well. No coincidence that the two Delhi partners are from NLU jodhpur.

Have known Anshuman for several years now. His work on transactions has been nothing short of phenomenal. This is really well deserved. Luthra made a good decision.

You have not received any increment arrears yet because there is no increase in your retainership. Remains the same. ;)

What is the psychology behind being so biased against everyone apart from NLS, NALSAR, NUJS AND NLUJ??
WHY IS THERE NO EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK??
