Luthra & Luthra has leased a new floor in its existing Delhi building, moving its corporate team of 60 heads into the 7,000 square-foot-area last week.

Luthra & Luthra has occupied around 14,000 square feet on the first floor and a mezzanine level of the Ashoka Estate office block on Delhi’s Barakhamba Road.

Leasing the new space on the ninth floor brings the firm’s total space in Delhi’s to around 24,000 square feet.

The firm’s founder and managing partner Rajiv Luthra said: “We needed more space - more lawyers have come in, Vineet [Aneja and his team from FoxMandal Little] have joined, a number of other partners, plus the tax guys.”

Luthra & Luthra has been based in the Ashoka Estate since 1992, one year after the firm was started by Raijv Luthra.

He said that the firm had been looking to find a new office location in Delhi and would continue to do so.

The leased space on the ninth floor also includes three conference rooms, which can be combined into one large room to host events or meetings.

Luthra & Luthra has hired aggressively in the past 6 months, also taking on six lateral associates and welcoming seven law school graduates to its offices.

this is really sad!! while they kept complaining that they have frozen their recruitment, it is now revealed that they ahve been hiring "aggresively" since the past 6 months ......

freshly out of law school they really kill a students confidence.... partners in big law firms should be sensitised towards rejections, as the reasoning given by them while rejecting often turns out false or incorrect....

and as a fresher you have no clue whether you are basically not good enough or there is seriously no vacancy, specially when through internal grapevine it is revealed that a lesser qualified person is made an associte around the same time you were rejected due to influence and references.....

kian i think you should do an article regarding the same.... trust me a lot of freshers would vent out !

i really vouch by the same.. it really does kill ur confidence to some extent.. also it is incorrect to say that only students 4m national law schools (all the national law schools) are better performers than others is another aspect which really demoralizes a person..

not all the partners workin @ luthras or the big law firms are from the national law schools themselves.. in such a situation i dont see the logic behind their prejudice.. cz it means they arent satisfied with their own career graph..
