India group managing associate promo’d.
Linklaters has promoted London-based India group managing associate Savi Hebbur to partner.
The 2001 NLSIU Bangalore LLB graduate and 2004 Harvard Law School LLM holder began his career at P&A Law Offices in 2001, followed by its then best-friend firm Jones Day between 2004 and 2005, when he joined Linklaters.
He is qualified in New York, England & Wales and India and specialises in M&A and corporate, having worked on BP’s inbound $9bn purchase of Reliance Industries oil and gas assets and other major Indian deals.
Linklaters promoted a total of 24 lawyers to partner this year.
Allen & Overy had promoted NLSIU Bangalore graduate Gautam Narasimhan to partnership in Singapore earlier this month.

Congrats to Savi. Quite an achievement.
Sad to see some posers making spiteful comments. it is clear that #2 has not much of an idea about the workings of international firms and the process and circumstances that must be met for a person to become a partner.
Linklaters has invested well in the India practice unlike other firms that merely pay lip service to India, Links will surely reap the benefits.
Of course, others will compare him to his peers - that is natural, but irrelevant.
We should be congratulating him for having made it.
Gautam did an LLM as well too ...read the article properly
Unless there is a dirty secret about the batch which I am missing!
Thanks, Kian, for sharing the news with all of us.
Lets say a person decides to take a break for a year to do some social work and then gets back to a law firm. Hence takes him a year more to become a partner. Wud u call that person less deserving? In a career potentially spanning 40 years, a year or two (or five for that matter!) doesnt really change things. Ever heard of this word : pedigree? I can only put down such trashy talk to a petty mind.
