We have reached out to Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co and Sinha for comment earlier today but have not received a response.
Sinha graduated from ILS Pune in 2006, began his career at DSK Legal, then joined AZB & Partners, and joined Khaitan in 2009 where he also spent six months at Morrison & Foerster in Japan.

Time you hang out with right people.
My friend, this could have been true but not for Abhishek. Abhishek was made the HR Partner and CLE partner at SAM Mumbai. He was also sent couple of weeks back for the Alex Mundi conference. It can, though, be true for other hires at SAM mumbai.
I am sure you have not met abhishek even once. He is a super nice person.
Good move Abhi.
Looking back, Khaitan Mumbai didn't lose much. One Mr Khan who was just an year or so in India, and other Mr Roy who was 6 months into Khaitan when he left for SAM.

You are 'Rights'man. The basic principles are rights and you are true Khaitanite(s)!!
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Ajay: none.
Me: Then "quality"???????
Ajay: I love the vanilla flavour.
Me:? :-|
Ajay: Dumbo, I love all "Kwality" products. But vanilla icecream is my fav!
Me: Alibag se aaya hai Kya?
Ajay: Nahi wahan Kwality products Nahi Milta.
:)
That's why KCO ranked higher than erstwhile AMSS in client satisfaction per RSG rankings!
SAM: please spend on better PR guys!!
For quality draft there's always Wadia Ghandy, Kanga , old 3 firms basically!
In fact firms should second their partners and associates to Sam.
You seem to know a lot about SAM. How are the other lateral partners doing there? How is Gunjan feeling?
Amen- just for your thoughts
Come on Khaitan pr team, start disliking this now!
in dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam?
Fact is, at the end of the day, most law firms are desperate for good partners, so if someone is a good, most law firms are happy to ignore where they've worked or for how long...
BTW BMW did a press release when he bought his 5 series, and made a statement that - BMW has a fancy
lawyer as their customer.
Finished his 6 month espionage mission and then returned safely to the base.
Kian - You need to review the commenting anonymous policy. Perhaps create a login/password with the work ids of lawyers to comment, but then that would jeopardize the number of hits on your site? Either ways, lets get a grip on the anonymous gossip mongering may be?
As it is, it seems like there's a bit of gossipmongering here but we try to step in when it gets too personal or beyond what is commonly known, etc... And feel free to report a comment if we don't get the reference or something slips through.
Half the other comments, like rumouring chocolate fudge and bonus cheques are obviously just nonsense and speculation, so why would anyone take them seriously?
Curiously, the same Indians who consider themselves so smart - are the first to fall for con acts like Nigerian lottery scam, dictator leaving a huge fortune, etc - as documented by an European agency (largest number of "hits" and people getting duped were from this country!!). Way to go, I say....
He is an asset to any firm he works for KCO is lucky to get him back.
yes, we can talk about the same lack of balls on getting across any critique, including of any form of management (government, corporates, law firms, law schools, schools etc.) all across the country. How does putting a name out there justify the ability to criticise or critique? In fact, this completely emasculates the person critiquing and will ensure that nobody will criticize since there is a ready withchunt on. This is effectively telling every person who critiques a law firm to put out their name so that they can be gone after. May as well put Kian out of business while we are at it. I certainly don't see such requirements when everyone is happy to critique law firms and their management etc., so why with respect to individuals only
Perhaps the way to look at it is actually that the person who is being criticized to develop a pair or grow up (bricks and bones and all that cannot kill you) and if she thinks its serious enough, let the person come up and justify herself.
Kian- i completely disagree with your policies as you have ensured that gossip doesnt flow in a profession where nothing is ever disclosed publicly. Banter is also limited to random statements and this actually leads to a crimp on the information available (which is sometimes gossip, but otherwise info that is not readily available). Completely against the tenets of freedom of speech and expression and yes, I do know that there are limitations on it. Why not instead have some simple "blind item" rules like the magazines and the newspapers? No names, allow innuendos and move on. Sorry to break it gently, but anyone whose reputation is left in tatters or sullied irrepairably by random banter on the comments section of your website really needs to grow up (and i beseech you to help them in this painful process). We live in a country where taking offence is a national past-time- please can we refrain when it comes to our turn. If you think all this is regressive, maybe you should have a letters to the Editor style emails rather than a comments section!
He must have thought 1000 times before taking the decision to go back. And he known the people in KCO very well. So it won't be a problem to face them...!!
All the best AS...!!!!
What's the big deal with this? I know several partners who switched practices much later.
And you know background and past experience of the person concerned? How do you know that he has no litigation or securities law experience in the past?
Abhishek was part of the rubric and fabric of KCO, and yes, a lot of us were disappointed when he left. But as friends and family do, we wished him well for a good future and have mostly always stayed in touch with him.
We are glad he's coming back! Our gain and SAM's loss.
And unbenownst to several of you, we back our management. They've obviously taken a conscious decision to bring him on board; I just want to say to all of you
Why this Kolaveri Di?
Yes of course - who wouldn't want him - including Zomato.
Not in this lifetime...given the excellent terms at which Iqbal left KCO.
He is a tremendous lawyer and super connected (true rainmaker). As any New York firm. Just matter of time before Iqbal will displace both AC as Managing Partner Mumbai Region, and SM as Head of M&A, with partners of US firms as his associates. Time will tell. KCO will bleed.
Dunno, naam hee kaafi hai
Thank you AMSS for showing path to the legal profession. I now understand why you left KCO! Good choice, mate.
Ever wondered why and how KCO emerged from nowhere in 2007 - 2008 to one of the top 3/4 firms in the country, with no Bombay links? Do some research.
