Platinum Partners to break in two: NDA’s Ruchir Sinha to start Mumbai for Touchstone • Quillon to launch in Bangalore

Exclusive
Thursday, 29 October 2020 By Legally India Law firms

Exclusive: New brand names for both halves, to continue running as going concerns

Platinum: Not forever
Platinum: Not forever

Platinum Partners is set to separate along geographical lines, with the Mumbai and Delhi office each rebranding from 1 November 2020 under new banners.

The Delhi and Bengaluru offices are headed up by partner Karam Daulet-Singh and have around 5 partners, who make up around 30 fee-earners. Of those, one partner and 5 fee-earners are based in a Bengaluru office.

This partnership will be called Touchstone Partners, and it will start a new Mumbai office by hiring Nishith Desai Associates (NDA) leader Ruchir Sinha as a partner.

The Mumbai office, which is headed up by partner Ankit Majmudar, has up to 30 fee-earners, including around 6 partners.

This Mumbai partnership under Majmudar will rebrand to Quillon Partners.

Update 22:25: NDA managing partner Nishith Desai said: “We had wonderful time together. Even now we are strongly bonded and are a having laughing time. We express our gratitude to him for training and mentoring a battery of law leaders to succeed him in the true NDA culture and tradition. Indeed, I wish him the best and confer my blessings.”

Both new managing partners confirmed their separation with similar comments about the future.

Daulet-Singh commented:

The New Delhi office and the Bangalore office of Platinum Partners are parting ways with Mumbai. It is happening effective 1 November and the Platinum Partners brand will indeed be retired on 1 November.

We, and I speak for New Delhi and Bangalore, will be rebranding ourselves and we are calling ourselves Touchstone Partners.

Ruchir Sinha will be joining us and will head our Mumbai office.

Majmudar commented:

After many years together, the Mumbai offices of Platinum Partners and the Delhi / Bangalore office of Platinum Partners will be parting ways.

We have all collectively decided to retire the Platinum Partners brand from 1 November.

The Mumbai office will be rebranding as Quillon Partners and will be launching its Bangalore office and will remain present in Delhi.

The death of the Platinum Partners brand name will presumably avoid any protracted separation discussions and negotiations (such as those that are going on at L&L Partners right now), which will let both new firms hit the ground running.

Another advantage: each geographical location (Mumbai, and the Delhi-Bengaluru region) were in any case administered and run as separate partnerships.

Update 30 October, 10:02: In response to a comment below, Daulet-Singh commented: “The Reema Ray Scholarship has always been and will continue to remain our initiative.”

Platinum in any form or under any name would remain the 'touchstone' of quality of work in the Indian law firm circle.

Nihar is one of the best lawyers in the country, and also one of the nicest people you will meet. I have met people who worked with him at Platinum speak very highly of their time there. He clearly built a fabulous institution and a fortunate few were part of the journey. Things have changed now, but the best to everyone.

Platinum mumbai was always known for quality under ankit, there was much more focus on quality over quantity since he came. And it will remain that way. With new partner additions happening of late they will scale new heights and be the FF in India.

Surely you meant quality under Nihar. Ankit is a good lawyer and his work is largely quantity based. A good practice, but the model that was followed earlier.

The quality under ankit has gone up even further and left earlier platinum far behind, and freshfields comes almost entirely to him now. new partner hires like shrithi etc ,who is a rising star and an excellent negotiator, will only drive the quality up. Quillon is Kill-On

With so many years of experience, and acting as one in a institution set up, people can’t never work together. Wonder what drives these after such time. Personal ego, pride, ambition, maturity etc or any other.

The law firm business is surely driven by personal pride and negativity, with no sense of inclusion or inclusiveness.

For men may come and men may go but I go on forever....guess this pandemic year is a year of reckoning!

I just checked that Ruchir worked at NDA for more than 13 years. I love how cordial Nishith is about him leaving. Such a change unlike the rather generic "We wish him the very best" or even worse no comment.
Why can't people part on good terms for real? Especially if yours is a firm where they have no real chance of getting some real skin in the game.

Platinum Delhi-B’lore (now Touchstone) has recently hired quite a lot of people across all the levels. It appears that they are taking this very seriously. One can only hope that the positive work environment and dignified culture (Platinum’s USP) will be preserved by the new additions and Touchstone doesn’t end up being a ruthless top tier law firm.

Could end up being the worse of both the worlds in terms of work styles? Platinum used to be known for providing a fair bit of work life balance which also made it unique in terms of work culture. Hope the partners there don't succumb to the style that would sought to be imposed by the new Mumbai partner. Not every law firm needs to be converted into an R&D organization!

Work ethics, sincerity and seriousness towards their work was Platinum's USP and that is likely to continue even under the new name. I hope they don't embark on the rat race of tiers and popularity contest entering into this new phase. They should focus on giving growth to their people and stop thinking that they are better than others. They appear snooty and they should change that, as they are mistaken in their belief - they do not even scratch the surface of the variety of matters what other top tier firms do, they set the agenda!

Hoping apart from being "'touchstone' of quality of work in the Indian law firm circle", some internal reforms are enacted to enable better associate career development and a more robust two way feedback mechanism. No surprise that mid and senior level has been virtually wiped out over the years and is thriving in other firms.

Who are the last home grown partners? Hopefully this changes.

He wanted to try his hand as advocacy. So he started as a junior under Pesi Mody. He started from the absolute bottom and had no airs at all.

Emphasis at PP Delhi is on teamwork where associates are expected to work as a team. But reality is for them to work like soldiers and not question the orders of commanding officers even during peace time! Commanding officers have a tendency to suddenly become impolite if legitimate concerns are raised. The latest commanding officer hired seems to be cast in similar mould!

Best of luck to Touchstone for the new innings and wishing the associate soldiers all the best!

A majority of the associates at Platinum in Delhi have been and even now could be one of the nicest bunch. Employees in a services oriented organization are the most critical asset, keep them happy and they will keep the client happy. Using your analogy, demotivated and starved soldiers don't win wars!

Well said, there is nothing participative about Touchstone. Associates are expected to make money for one man, don't ask questions, if something goes wrong, deal with it yourself. It ias as if associates need the firm and not vice versa. Quite autocratic. Other firms .ay also be autocratic, but at least they try to be fair and take feedback.

Does anyone know what the equity structure will be at both new firms? Platinum was not a lockstep equity model and seemed to revolve around the two senior partners. It will be interesting to see what the new firms do. Do they follow the non-promotor equity models of JSA, Trilegal, TTA or the models that most other law firms seem to follow.

Only 2 home grown partners (other than the founder) and only 2 senior associates that can be called home grown in about 18 key people. Most key people from Touchstone seems to be have been a resultant of an acquihire from S&R and NDA. Most of counsel are S&R alumni as well. There are 2 ISB MBA returnees too. #lawfirmsarebetterpayingthanpostMBAjobs

As a lawyer who transitioned into brand consulting and management, it appears (from the comments to this article and the limited info press release from Touchstone) that the split, strategy going forward and the overall PR has not been that well handled internally and externally. Could be wrong in my analysis but I think a lesson or two in external and internal corporate communication would bode well.

Looking at the various threads in this article that have seen maximum moderation are related to the Touchstone Bombay guy(s). Comments could be critical or positive. Some published comments also removed! Interesting

Looking at the "research papers" on Fund Formation as well as Invits "published by" Touchstone Partners fires up my inquisitiveness. I wonder if NDA (the OG), the actual content creator of these so-called 'research papers', has a viable claim of IP breach against the stalwarts involved in claiming the paper as their own.

Only time will tell.
