What is a “board member”? Has trilegal reconstituted itself into a company?

Big loss for CAM Bangalore and CAM in general - the biggest deals CAM Bangalore does are real estate deals! Mridul was also always approachable, supremely dedicated, and had remarkable attention to detail. Wish him the best and hope CAM replaces him ably, because there is no replacement internally for him.

True! In fact I'd go so far as to say the only actual deals CAM-B does are real estate deals. Everything else is advisory.

Good to see NUALS score a partnership in a Big 7 firm. It has been lagging behind behind certain NLUs that it should have overtaken.

Didn't know it was a race. Are you sponsoring the prize money?

So now the only way to make partner at Trilegal is to be partner at Amarchand? Sucks to be you, Trilegal associates.

Without question, the finest young RE lawyer in the Country and arguably the finest young lawyer in the country. Big loss for CAM!

NUALS started in 2005. How is it having a '08 batch?

Did it start with a 3-year LLB programme too? Because that seems to be the only explanation assuming the batch year has been accurately written in the original post.

Having worked with Mridul, I can certainly say that he is a fine gentleman, a great mentor and the best boss one can ask for. He trusts you completely and understands you despite the intense work pressure. He is someone who slogs late nights so that his juniors can leave early. Two words describe him the best "Brilliant" and "Humble". All the best Mridul! You're a Star! Thanks for everything.

-Your mentee

Many congrats Trilegal! CAM RE will never recover from this blow.

Big brother 23 Jan 2021, 05:13

CAM is facing the brunt in Delhi and Bangalore RE. They need someone to head their practice. Poaching should start soon.
