Luthra & Luthra has promoted two lawyers – Vaibhav Kakkar and Kanchan Sinha - to partnership in an “exceptional” promotion round.
Managing associate Vaibhav Kakkar, who joined the firm from the 2006 batch of NLU Jodhpur in Luthra’s first recruitment round from the law school, has been promoted in the general corporate, corporate structuring and regulatory practice.
Principal associate Kanchan Sinha, who had joined the firm as a lateral hire in July 2013 from Amarchand Mangaldas, was promoted in the corporate and M&A practice. She is a 2003 graduate of NLIU Bhopal and had spent 10 years at Amarchand Delhi.
Senior partner Mohit Saraf said: “It was basically people who have done exceptionally well – not routine things [promotions]. It was an exceptional promotion, but it also coincided with the ‘family celebration’.”
Saraf explained that Friday’s annual event, dubbed a “family day event”, involved inviting everyone in the firm and their families, right from office cleaners to the managing partner for a celebration.
The regular promotions would likely be made in April of this year.
Saraf said that Luthra’s year-on-year revenues in the corporate law firm were up 36 per cent, Legally India reported today.

Waow, yaar. Amazing!
"nga" is clearly visible in the background - which is surely part of Amarchand Mangaldas.
Goofye - Like that only.
dementedtormented.Are you really a London lawyer? Have you done cross border deals? Ever noted the differences in law firm structures in various jurisdictions? If you did, you wouldn't go around comparing London with Paris or NY or New Delhi. Firm structures are market driven - something they told you to take note of during the training sessions (you possibly missed that bit as you were more interested in the cookies and croissants).
Btw, the training contract (TC) is part of the study/training that England & Wales law graduates must undergo to qualify as a solicitor. Once they qualify, many of them make partner in 8 years on the corporate side - check the profiles. The stars make it in 7. If your firm has stars, it will be on their profiles. Vaibhav has made it in 7.5, which happens in London as well, if you exclude the TC. So what's your point? People who make partner in 10 years are better than the ones who are 'made up' in 7? Smart clients value young stars. Evidently, you can't understand why!! ROFL :D
Took all of 6 months to judge "exceptional" performance
whims of just two policy doth make,
'tis a sweet shop, u want ladoo or cake?
