Except a handful the A0 pay for most in this list is on the lower side.
2) The number of partners in T1 law firms (CAM, SAM, Khaitan, AZB etc) that practice disputes are generally more as compared to these law firms. Also, they are spread across different cities. So, these boutique law firms (if I may call them so) generally get unnoticed. That said, you'll see many partners who have moved to T1 firms from these firms.
3) Yes, if not better, these firms are also at par with T1 given you get to work with the right team to work with.
Some of the others are into bulk "Bank work", filing Bank suits, arbitrations, DRT and NCLT matters in bulk against small debtors.
Only a handful are skilled in real trial work - cross examination, evidence, final arguments, etc.
