The commercial dispute resolution scenario in Mumbai is such that a very substantial chunk of high-end work is conducted by Tier 2 and Tier 3 Firms which are not known at all outside Mumbai and very less known nationally.

In Mumbai these 20 Firms hold about 3/4th of the high stakes dispute resolution work (in terms of billing size) -

1. CAM
2. Wadia Ghandy
3. Mulla & Mulla
4. Kanga & Co
5. KCO
6. JSA
7. Crawford Bayley
8. Argus Partners
9. Little & Co.
10. Bharucha & Partners
11. Hariani & Co.
12. Economic Laws Practice
13. Rashmikant & Partners
14. Naik Naik & Co.
15. Manilal Kher Ambalal & Co.
16. DSK Legal
17. MDP & Partners
18. MZM Legal
19. Solomon & Co.
20. Desai & Diwanji

Then there are highly regarded firms but with very narrow specializations, like W.S. Kane & Co., Jehangir Gulabbhai Bilimoria & Daruvala (IP Laws), Bose & Mitra & Co. & Brus Chambers (Shipping law), PDS Legal & ALMT Legal (Taxation law), and Dhaval Vussonji (Real Estate).

As you can see, only 3 to 4 of the nationally well known T1 firms even make it to the group. AZB, Trilegal, KCO, L&L and SAM do not even make the cut.
What is this random declaration from your side,these firms hold 3/4th.....and blah blah..?based on what? who said so?they came to tell you?
well bro, few of the names in the 20 something list have tiny litigation practice. Majmudar Partners, Parinam Law Associates and Vivek Vashi's set-up (ex-Bharucha) can be added to your list. Best wishes.
If OP has not heard about Vashi & Vashi and Parinam, wonder what the shock he will get when he comes to know of the size of practice of little-known Mumbai firms like OM Gujar Law Chambers, Solicis Lex, Maniar Srivastava, PRS Legal etc who feature very prominently in the daily causelists in the commercial/civil writ courts especially in financial/banking matters.....

Advice for OP will be to not get caught up with names too much at the start of one's litigation career.
Huh?When did CAM become the no 1 or biggest dispute resolution firm in Mumbai area in terms of billing? By billing standards itself,advocates and senior advocates run best litigation practice in Mumbai,not law firms.That 3/4th market you talking about for firms is mainly for commercial division and even there companies prefer well known lawyers over law firms.
CAM for litigation? Seriously? You mean the family's own litigation matters perhaps?
Information?It seems like misinformation.Kuch bhi... anything is said without any basis......it must be one of the employees or maybe a PR agent of these firms trying to do advertising for these law firms....if I take guess,.my guess would be this is a CAM employee/PR given how CAM got named first in that list to provide this random information and how there is that last line of firms that don't count in Mumbai market and even more interesting to see two names in that last line being Trilegal and SAM......otherwise whathere is this information coming from - i 20 firms,3/4th market ......is it based on filings done?is it based on appearances,and for some firms there will be zero appearances/market because they only bring Senior Advocates for arguments?How many high stake matters or big judgements in Bombay High Court have been won by these 20 firms?
This is nonsense info article.Tgere are lot many litigators and firms that purportedly hold the 3/4th of high stake dispute resolution matters in Mumbai.
Lol CAM and Desai Diwanji make it to this the list but Dhruve Liladhar and SAM (they are solicitors to PSUs which are some of the biggest litigants in Mumbai) are not ?

A good thumb rule is to find out who are the biggest commercial litigants in a given location and then corelate it to who are among their most retained attorneys. In Mumbai the biggest commercial litigants are the Municipal Corporation, the State Government and its Undertakings, the various PSUs having a strong presence there (BARC, HPCL, ONGC, NHAI), the Tata Group, L&T Group and Aditya Birla Group companies, and the largest chunk, the RBI, the PSU Banks (led by SBI, BOB and Bank of Maharashtra), Private Banks and NBFCs (Mumbai is the financial capital). Then you have the two Stock Exchanges who are by default made party respondents in a large number of Writ Petitions/Arbitration matters/Appeals filed by investors and stockbrokers against each other.
This is probably some CAM employee look to gain brownie points by putting out a PR article for CAM.Imposing irrelevant BS Gyan on others.Shoddy information without any research or souce etc,very easy to guess it's probably from CAM.they look to blow their trumpet and put down many other big competitors(them calling a big competitor as smaller platform doesn't change reality only exposes their pettiness)
