With this comes the end of Corporate practice of CAM.

CAM baba ki Jai ho

Soona soona for so many days. No CAM exits. Finally, 3 at one go. CAM you never disappoint.

What is happening! Can somebody please explain what is happening at CAM? What are the internal problems? There has to be something to explain such mass exodus. Kian..your avid readers demand an investigation (please)..a special article to cover of what is brewing internally.

I just pray Cyril ji is able to get back his house in order..

This is just the beginning. Rumours are many more will leave soon.

few more bite the dust. Exodus continues!!

Maybe, Bollywood should consider doing a movie on this subject! First the public feud between the brothers & then the mass partner exits.

And this takes CAM partner exits to 18 partners having left since April this year. CAM management needs to wake up. Clients and associates must be in a state of panic.

Yes, correct.

Well done CAM. Totally shown your worth by not being able to retain some of the best talent you have, or some of the nicest people you have! Left overs - suck ups. But that's how CAM rolls.

Both, Shardul and Zia, send regards....

Raghu was not hired from Dua. He was GC at Religare and then was working on his own when he joined CAM. Raghu was with Dua two decades ago.

IT IS ALL OVER!

How can loosing the partners involved in the largest deal out of CAM Delhi, awarded internal deal of the year and its highest recovery be called culling non performers? Performance cannot just be dancing and apple polishing.

When these people join CAM, you say third rate partners are joining CAM to make it third rate.

When these people leave CAM, you say CAM is falling apart because these people are leaving.

Slow clap

Great decision made by these guys.. Better to abandon the ship before it sinks.

18 partners and 45+ associates in last 6 months? Lots of place for Sangeet Practice both in Mumbai and Delhi. Yay!

Kian - why aren't you posting the truth. Understand that there have been many cam stories revealing the truth but you seem to be posting only stories that are pro cam. Do the right thing and help people know the truth so they aren't fooled like many were. It almost seems like the shroffs and the "other" one who was there last year seem to have some stronghold over you. Always admired your gumption and now you need to live up to it

Nobody cares about the trust me, written contracts offered. Clearly the big elephant does not honor or understand contract law.

Kian, you should cover the range of increments doled out by leading law firms this year and the number of exits in each. It'll be interesting to see which firm tops the chart for highest increment and which one tops highest attrition rate.

Raghu and Harry are the only 2 partners who are recognised lawyers in the Delhi set up with their own set of clients. The sparrow says that Raghu had inforrmed the management about his desire to leave way back in March- April but had to continue because of client commitments (some big deals he was doing)

Hope the young lawyers will rise up to the occasion and ensure that they will not be missed.

Circa 2015; 100 lawyers; five promises each... No wonder HR director ran for his life and came to Delhi (but not in Cam)

The visionary still cant get over the fact that SBI restructuring was snooped by AR.

Are you happy now, Hildul?

They had a winning team. They made a mess of it with their greed, their arbitrary policies, meandering promises, lack of organisation skills and most of all- Their GOD COMPLEX.

The typical ratio generally used to be 90-10. That is the ratio for all people who were CAM bashers to CAM supporters in a usual "CAM EXITS" comments section.

But in this article we have almost EVERY negative comment being refuted by a positive one. Sometimes even two.

That makes me think. Are all the pro comments from vcs and their PR department? Have they realised to win the war, they must first stem the tide that originates, usually, from LI articles on CAM exits?

I think its time for the younger brother to sing: "Chal mere Bhai, chal chal mere bhai tere haath jodta hu, Haath jodta hoon tere paaon padta hoon" !!

What are you smoking?? Are you a sad cam ostrich who is trying to put up a bravefront??

I believe there are more partners and seniors to leave in coming months. Winter is coming.

Aur kitna winter bhai? It is snowing in Mumbai.

The emperor has no clothes!

Shawl for the winter and Chaata for the bearish. Time for more hot gulab jamun and rain.

FEEDBACK: Has the "sort by latest comments" feature, that allowed latest comments to show up on top, been discontinued? It is badly missed - please consider re-introducing? :)

What strategy??? Closing operations is a strategy?

What news is this then ?

Kian - you have reported many exits in the recent past in CAM. The numbers are astonishing and we hear there are many more partner level exits who might leave with their teams or leave teams behind headless. Teams that go may/may not get a good deal with the partners they leave with, or they may be constrained to hunt for other opportunities. Teams that stay behind without the partners also might not get a good deal in CAM and may eventually be constrained to leave for want of an umbrella. As a responsible journalist who has brought out to light so much in the open, you owe it to the lawyers and the legal fraternity as to what is going wrong in CAM. Why are there so many exits? The comments in legally india give some idea but you need to bring out a real story based on anonymous inputs. No one is going to want to publicly mention what is going wrong. SAM on the contrary appears to be doing well for itself and is not projecting anything other than what it is. Makes it an attractive option along with AZB Mumbai. The SAM leaders and Zia appear to be sensible in their approach and in building a firm. Clearly - they are doing something right about retaining talent.
