Trilegal - Competition Team

bymixed

The work culture from stories told is a mixed reviews but they have some really great client feedback which is why the team mints money.so the bonuses are great come end of year and people tend to stay on for money factor and client brands on the cv.

Lol. Everyone knows who this is. I have personally benefitted from his mentorship and guidance. I think I speak for many junior lawyers when I say we wish him the best in his new role.

One of my friend who is very well renowned in competition fraternity quit Trilegal after a year of joining it. He quit without having any other offer at hand. His words were, "For a few months, I m going to eat fish and increase my brain cells which I lost in the last one year."

Duming down! really! Please elaborate about the path breaking, earth shattering work done by other teams which is in such contradistinction to Trilegal's competition law team that one is dumbing down by mere association.

You may dislike a person or a group of people, but who are you to judge a practice that is repeatedly chosen by all big clients- India and abroad to represent them.

They are not dumbing down clealrly!

It has become a trend to come to LI and vent for those who cannot keep up maybe.

Ahh! This is exactly the issue. Foreign clients absolutely have no idea about Indian competition law or the procedures before the CCI which are way different from mature and sophisticated jurisdictions.
Trilegal comp team thrives on this information asymmetry of foreign clients.

Have worked against the team, yes they do make a lot of money but it's not something which other T1s don't offer.
Also, the quality of the team is something I doubt. I'm sure they have some good people but in general just putting a couple of EU case laws does not make you the best competition lawyers in town. Specially when your pleadings lack consistency in logic and law.

Hey,

I don't know why my comment got a lot of hate.

I haven't worked in her team. I don't know how she is as a person. I am talking from a client's perspective. My boss is a client. No client usually cares about work culture within a firm or team - as far as it doesn't impact deliverables or work you want to get done.

If you are a client - she is the best lawyer on the market despite the excessive highly inflated bills. She gets things done - on time. Available all the time, work is premium. If you outsource work to them- you don't have to worry about the same.

There are dozens of anti trust lawyers in the Indian market. If clients are paying a premium for her - it obviously means she is somewhat competent. Remember, Legal departments across Asia have a lot of pressure to cut external costs these days.

"Trilegal always guarded its culture and values but chooses to ignore the antics of the partner and horrible work culture of this team just because this team brings in a lot of revenue for the firm"

This statement is true for their various other teams as well, so maybe that's the culture that they're guarding?

This is not the first exodus. Losing team resource is a team habit, so it's unlikely to change.

byBlessed be the soul

From personal experience - the quality of work, and the interpretation of law forwarded by this team is laughable in most cases. But yes, they make a lot of money. I really want to learn how the team head handles clients. If the team head was a little humane, I would have joined her. The stories I hear about this team head (both real person accounts and LI tales) honestly scare the shit out of me.

No doubt about the money churning (including very good remuneration). Having closely worked with this team, I have lots of doubt on their quality and the learning (as a lawyer) which juniors can pick up. Its a good place to learn secretarial work. After spending some time with the team I felt as if I am dumbing down.

People are just jealous of the success of this team. People can't digest that the partner is so successful and the quality of work churned out by this team. The quality of work and the strategic advise given by this team is par excellence.

...

byGuest111

I heard that some associates even left within a month of joining. There must be something seriously wrong with this team. The competition team of trilegal is a weekly feature on LI.

...

byAdviser

Avoid joining this team at all costs. The number of posts for this team on LI and the mass exodus is a clear warning sign to keep away. The interesting thing to consider is that Trilegal always guarded its culture and values but chooses to ignore the antics of the partner and horrible work culture of this team just because this team brings in a lot of revenue for the firm. Though the revenue flows by spooking clients and fear mongering rather than quality work or even basic knowledge. Ultimately, even for trilegal, money matters and not the values on which the firm was built.

Soumya Hariharan doesn't work with Trilegal anymore.

...

byGuest

Having worked under her, I could definitely vouch for her miniting lot ofoney. But I doubt her ethics and competency.

Trilegal - Anti Trust team?

She mints a lot of money - without her; the firm would loose a chunk of money; Infact she is the most competent and elite antitrust lawyer in India or even Asia AFAIK. When it comes to bills - her bills even outpace that of AM100's.

...

bySoumya Review

I have dealt with Trilegal Partner Soumya Hariharan on a variety of issues. She is a competent and diligent lawyer and an asset to the Competition Law practice. I am confident that lawyers under her will certainly excel in their professional careers. Join them.

byGuest

Join if you want to learn the real tricks of the trade which is creating work out of thin air by spooking the clients.

...

byGuest

I've a friend who's an associate there and s/he's been wanting to change his/her practice area because of the culture. Inspite of the exodus, nothing seems to have changed there.

Unfortunately LI and Trilegal Competition Team are hands in glove. Any post condemning Trilegal Competition Team gets deleted so simply giving a rating on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 being the worst) without giving much details:

1. Work culture: 0
2. Pay scale: 10
3. Scope for growth: Depends whether the partner develops a personal liking for you - does not have to do anything with your work quality
