Tier 2 in Dispute Resolution and Arbitration practices and Tier 4 for other practice areas.
So you were partially correct. It is not tier 2, it is tier 4 in IPR and other practices. Want me to help you with any other google search?

I don't think there is none, including me. We all are solicitors here, we take opinions and help from real counsels in the market to finalize even one page letter. Also we only brief counsels with whom we have certain arrangements. Show me one single order of any court wherein Luthra so called partners have argued and concluded without a Sr. "Counsel" or a "Counsel". Anyways, all counsels are out in market now looking for a job as they are facing cuts in their retainer fee with retrospective effect. By the way LI reported this only because of the positive charisma of individual who is the subject matter of the post. And sure, as of today, everyone is maintaining cordial relation with Apoorv after he left.
Looks like Xi Xinping marshalling his troops during COVID times. Singh and who?
Would it be because he wants less responsibility/less work hours, or would it be that he was let go because the firm couldn't justify his CTC (not referring to the particular individual whose move is the subject matter of this article)?
Obviously, being a partner at a bigger shop isn't something that everyone is cut out for, due to the absence of any/all of relevant competency, client following, connections (I'm given to understand that this does matter in helping generate business in the canvas of legal practice full of deeply entrenched relationships).
