Hi - this is insider. Having worked with ND, SS and the IBC team @ azb - can confirm, probably one of the best shots at work satisfaction + attempt towards work life balance in teir 1 firms! So, go for it! These folks have (1) good clients and work - great mix of restructuring, insolvency, structured finance, etc. (2) flat structure, (3) seniors who themselves want some work life balance and therefore promote the same for juniors! Now the cons - there is a fair bit of work on most days (which is good and bad - depending on how you see it), so the juniors are expected to be busy and working hard.

Hope it works out for you!

So the restructuring and IBC team at AZB is actually Bahram's team. The team has one senior partner Nilang and two other partners Suharsh and Avinash. Unlike many other such teams in other firms,, this team actually gets along. And that means it has a great working relationship amongst the partners and associates. The partners look after their associates. And the work is absolutely top notch and a great mix of work. People work hard when needed but partners try to make sure lawyesare not overburdened. Good long term prospects. No heirarchy - true meritocracy. All in all a great team to join.

I have only heard positive reviews about him and how he is an amazing boss to have- kind, understanding and brilliant. From what I have seen, his juniors are pretty nice too and the team in general has a good work culture where the people are friendly and helpful. Plus, you won’t be working in AZB House so that is a plus.
