Trilegal did not make any new partners this year but promoted senior associates Upasana Rao and Nitish Nair to counsel in Delhi. There were no counsel promotions in the Mumbai region.
Rao graduated from Symbiosis Pune in 2005 and worked at DSK Legal until leaving as a senior associate in 2008. She then obtained an LLM from King’s College London and joined Trilegal in December 2009.
Nair graduated from NLU Jodhpur in 2006, worked at Paras Kuhad & Associates until 2007 and joined Trilegal that year.
Rao and Nair focus on general corporate and M&A at the firm.
Trilegal Delhi now has 10 retainers as counsel – the level preceding partnership at the firm.
Delhi-based co-founding partner Anand Prasad told Legally India that no lawyers were on scheduled partnership track this year, “but we have people on track for next year”.
The firm converted to an near-full equity model after it and UK magic circle firm Allen & Overy ended their best friendship of five years in September 2012. Prasad said at the time that revenues at the firm had been increasing by 20 to 25 per cent year-on-year for several years, with a slightly lower annual growth in headcounts and total profits because of a larger cost base.

Where exactly does one go?
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Amarchand and Luthra are playing a bit of chicken with each other, hoping to delay as long as possible to where they get an idea about what the other firm is doing.
Have Amarchand and Luthra not really internally communicated about (lack of) promotion progress?
Bang on Kian! You really do know how indian corp law firms operate. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the aforementioned comment was not sarcastic

Its a long dark tunnel with no light in sight!!
In fact I don't think there are enough people who were senior associates as long as they have been in the firm and as a result, even if your confused comment can be assumed to be true, the pool of people who would feel let down/ betrayed is clearly not as large as the number of downvotes. Maybe the invisible hand of rivals, or jealous batchmates in other 'lala' firms who still have to get their due?
Bang on, MOUwadi! May God help these morons who can't even digest success of these deserving young lawyers. In so far as their negative vote is concerned, I don't think they are even taken seriously in their own parties (hmmm...i mean firms!).
Isn't it ironic that a system that appears to be democratic at face value actually operates as a mechanism to allow free speech to be suppressed? I refer of course to the fact that negative voting for comments hides comments that are actually positive praise for someone! You need to look at this system again.
And shame on those hiding behind a keyboard casting negative votes for people praising someone else. Really cowardly behaviour - free speech at its worst.
bit surprising that a firm like trilegal doesn't have people becoming partners this year. I believe they have a lot of counsels.
