Last week SAM hired senior Dua litigation partner Shiraz Patodia and two partners for its Delhi litigation team.

By your logic, there is a link between loosing a very senior litigation partner with almost 3 decades of experience and hiring a corporate resource who has been hired as a partner. How can that be? Creates confusion and diminishes the significance of the move.

All I see is hiring back someone from Tatva.
As I understand it, Dua is a very old school firm, with Ranji Dua a true old-school gentleman who doesn't believe in poaching and headhunting (unless the other firm attacked first, presumably).
Every lawyer is pretty much looking at becoming a partner in a partnership firm in which theyre practicing the firms core competence from day 1. Obviously theyre free to and should move to any place that gives them what they want - be it money or independence or whatever. Not sure if that can be seen so much in terms of a firm 'poaching' someone which is probably more appropriate if they hired an office boy or receptionist from another firm.
Unless Dua hired first and Shardul followed up later...
Kunal had put in his papers some time back and has rejoined dua. His first job was at dua pune.
In fact I believe shiraz had interviewed Kunal for his new job!
And how much does a Principal Associate earn at SAM??
A great catch by Dua..Kunal is a master of court mergers and brings a wealth of experience on the table. A very likeable character who really encourages his juniors and goes by his work tactfully. Here's to an LIIT at The Dome..cheers!
