CAM has lawyers who ▮▮▮ taking never ending comments on fancy offer docs by their blue chip clientele; which are some of the very powerful and renowned Investment Bankers
Exactly, Saraf's last deal announcement in this space was almost a year ago. No wonder why is it on this list which otherwise seems pretty solid, credible and accurate.
Why is Bharucha here too? Never heard of any deal announcement by Vishnu Dutt's team, even the ones mentioned on the website seem to be outdated. Any insights and headways in this regard???
Nikhil Naredi at SAM is simply brilliant and knows what he is doing unlike other Mumbai players. Induslaw and CAM are also very well regarded in this space.
AZB barely does work in capital markets, the concerned guys literally tag along in M&A mandates. Can someone shed some more light on AZB's capital markets work since the ones mentioned on their website also seem kinda outdated.
Are you sure you want to keep harping on the various rankings that AZB & it’s Partners (including through various other “investment” entities) “sponsored” subsequent to which your Capital Markets practice was recognised as “number 1”?
Even if you decide to, do remember everyone understands the need for such sponsorships after the Amazon related matter pending before the Delhi HC, but no-one will respect you for having to rely upon such sponsorships to prove credentials.
PS - Have worked on multiple transactions with most of your team (Delhi and Mumbai) and sadly, you guys are no where close to being able to call yourselves a capital markets lawyer in its truest sense. Leave aside coming up with practical solutions and advising the clients basis regulations, your team prefers to become obstructionists by refusing to rely upon written regulations only to bill the clients more by wasting their time.
The best capital markets lawyers have somehow moved in-house or had to leave the practice. Due to which even the best teams (i.e. The Amarchand’s and never AZB) are languishing ▮▮▮.
Some of you entitled Investment Bankers sadly do not understand what we say and then wonder why we billed extra hours for making you understand a simple ICDR framework. Also, let us know which is the firm that was a pleasure to work with according to your past experience(s), this will help everyone.
Nobody respects AZB in Capital Markets, please grow up kid. While the same cannot be said for M&A or Banking & Finance, leave Capital Markets to the "bigger boys" for gods sake.
Doesn't JSA and Luthra have teams which mix Capital Markets with Banking & Finance; where B&F is again mixed with Project Finance as far as deal making is concerned. Confusing and detrimental it seems. On the brighter side - CAM, IndusLaw, SAM, Khaitan and Rajani do great work in the ECM space. DCM teams doing quality work are seated at TT&A, SNG and Juris Corp. Thanks!

He is like the President of India - must adhere to the decisions taken by the Ministers.
The “Partners” supposedly reporting to Yash decide on everything - staffing on transactions, bonus, promotions, etc.
And sadly, till you don’t know the reality of such partners, you won’t really know the pitfalls of that team.
Didn’t one of their big boys in Delhi get pulled into the Amazon ▮▮▮ fiasco
Go search the Delhi high court website for matters pending against AZB and see the co-relation with Amazon

Eg: Neha Samant, Navodita Gupta, Nidhi Parekh & Etc
Guess neither could win the popularity contest amongst the so-called “old boys club”
PS - R will get a toffee if he/she publishes this comment. Just remember to look outside SEBI on a weekday for a man handing out toffees.
