Trilegal partnership votes AZB’s Ganesh Rao, Aditya Jha into assets, funds practice

Saturday, 14 July 2018 By Legally India Law firms

Further to our report last week, Trilegal has today voted to admit former partners of AZB & Partners, Ganesh Rao and Aditya Jha, as partners in its asset management and funds practice in Mumbai, growing its partnership to 44.

Trilegal runs an all-equity quasi lockstep partnership, and any new additions the partnership need to be cleared by a vote of the entire partnership.

According to Trilegal’s press release, Trilegal partner Nishant Parikh commented: “Both have developed a significant reputation advising fund sponsors and investors on fund formations and investment platforms across sectors and market stages. Their addition will help grow Trilegal’s asset management and funds practice as well as complement and enhance the firm’s corporate practice.”

Rao a graduate of NUJS Kolkata, while Jha is from NLSIU Bangalore.

I always wonder does Trilegal ever vote not to admit anyone ! The fact they joining is obvious. Will be admitted to partnership naah.

Like - who cares? Kian - you are giving too much importance to this obscure thing.

Please get over it.

Feeling unsecured or jealous?

I think you meant 'insecure'. Unsecured means without security, like a loan. Or unsafe.

These obscure people who are so vital that no exit date has been agreed on yet. ROTFL. First sign of insecurity of a senior partner.

Yeah I'm a little confused too. This is a standard partner level movement that happens literally every week across the country, does this really need a post and then an update to the post?

Well, in the previous story we reported that their joining was contingent on the partnership vote, which is a fairly serious deal at Trilegal (so much so, that they won't even comment until it's complete). So this is the logical conclusion to that story, really...

Kian, for lateral movements, it is not at all serious even if Trilegal is making it look like that. Obviously trilegal is going to ensure that all partners vote in favour.

Agree, it's mostly a formality for most lateral hires, but still worth reporting that it's happened, I reckon...

I agree. How is it a news when they have spoken with trilegal and that has already been reported. NOW what is the point of reporting again that partnership has voted in favour. Isn't it obvious and voting is a mere formality. Even for internal promotion mostly it is a formality or sham in some cases. It simply depends on who is sponsoring a candidate. Kian,please stop giving same news coverage twice.

Comments born out of ignorance and pettiness and possibly worse. Sad to see really. Those who work in lala run or family controlled firms possibly find it hard to accept that some places actually don't work on diktat and individual whims.

Hahaha. I feel for you buddy if you are working in Trilegal whether as a Partner or as an associate, if you have not realised that Trilegal is also as much of lala run firm now as any other firm. Mumbai is the power centre and power is concentrated in the hands of few people. If those people have given their blessing, that thing happens otherwise you can keep dreaming. I hope you are already a partner or someone ready to suck up better than others.

We will see after 12/18 months and how many clients they can attract just for their own reputation/work. If not, another move on the horizon. Remember there's no god father in Trilegal that they were used to earlier.

Maybe they didn't want a god father and/or mother is why they left?

If you don't like the news, don't read it. Can't ask people to stop reporting events just because 'you' already know of them.

Now Anu and Pallabi (stars of the funds practise) will give in their 200 per cent to AZB to take it to new heights.

Anu doesn't do funds work! But, yes, Pallavi will shine now!!

Kian why no news report on other partners of AZB that have quit earlier this year??

Yes 20 Jul 2018, 06:27

Especially when that particular one was also a Cammie and Kian loves those stories! Maybe he has no interest in women who go on maternity, return, go part time and then quit. That news was never reported! What a boys club.

So Ash-waths team strength been reduced to Ashes now??? Foolish for anyone to think that they can attract clients on their own without the big guns backing you....whatever you call it - family owned or lala etc... even the mighty ashwath and shuva realized that...Trilegal founders are retiring... so it will be interesting to see how these guys even make a name in that firm...

Name or not in the new firm is something that only time will tell. Per sources, more pressing matter is that mass exits at the mid/ senior level at this firm are on the cards. Particularly in this team. Widely believed that micro-management at this firm and the fact that few partners in this team dump all work and execution on others is the real issue. Well............ time to for them to work really hard and not focus only on business development if they want to retain people............

As if Zia and Cyril are immortal !! So are you implying that after them CAM and AZB will die too?
