Boost is not the secret of your energy?

An excellent human being. I saw him mentor his juniors and colleagues. Always calm, answered all their queries and above all was always respectful towards everyone (seniors, juniors, admin staff and support staff). Wish him all the best :)

Bad move from top tier to a law shop. The move will haunt.

With as many years under his belt, Vijay also realizes this! Why state the obvious? All the best to him.

Looks like LL's Mumbai office has hit some jackpot of clients and is on a hiring spree.
Seems like a great firm to join.

Excellent pick for Link Legal. A very competent lawyer with years of experience under his belt. He's been around the big firms and will add value to Link Legal in this market. Brilliant senior as well.

I understand LL is looking to expand aggressively at Tier 1 salaries....in fact it commissioned a very big HR consulting firm to advise moving its compensation structure to Tier 1.....guess losing an ineffective CEO has reaped good for people who stayed back......surely good move for a good person like Vijay.....vijay will do well with independence at LL

And independence is absolutely free there - paise nahin milte.

Jay Ho to LL

Too late in the day now. They were at the top of their game till about an year or two ago.

So much talent has already left. So many talent is on its way out.

Just look at the lawyer rankings from any of the last 2-3 years. Most of their ranked lawyers have left because of their inability to retain a decent team. Thanks to LL policies. Except for those who are on the verge of being promoted, nobody sticks around for long.

If they are changing their outlook, good for them. But it is unlikely to happen as long as power is concentrated in the hands of the A.S.s
(this is not a joke, duh! See my name if you don't believe it)

Expanding aggressively at tier 1 salaries - how? By deducting 50% salaries of existing lot? Filling a big void created by exit of dozens of partners by inducting or promoting few struggling PA's as associate partners does not even mean redemption, forget about expansion. You can continue to attribute your failures to your ex CEO, but weren't his failure your failure too. Are all good things becoz of you and all bad things are becoz of a poor guy, who just had the tag of CEO but did not have any power. And by the way, why do you need a big HR consulting firm to advise you on increasing your salaries...are you nuts or again trying to fool people in the name of independence.

Absolutely, whosoever was worth his / her salt, has left. LL is left with no takers except for those who have (again) no takers in today's market. To tom tom these hirings is like, weird to say the least after losing all your star partners in last one year.

Bhai JK, ye badi badi baatein baad mein peliyo, pehle peechle saal ka bonus aur is saal ka increment dilwa diyo time se. Vaise bhi jitne log nikle hain, unka bonus toh firm ka bonus ho gaya hoga na. Yahar baar ki tarah cash flow ka gaana sunwayega is baar bhi.

What was his designation in SAM?

The CEO was of no use.
But LL matching Tier I salaries is a joke, because they don't have Tier I's clients!

Focus should be on Vijay and not on bashing the firm.
He is a nice guy and a very good pick for Link - cant say the other-way round though for the firm and its owners...;)
