Non-Family Merit? The record is 27, Umakanth Varotil at undivided Amarchand Mangaldas. Later went on to become a law professor at NUS Singapore.
How and why did he make partner with PQE 4 at age of 27?
Also, don’t think he deserves it !
His core transactional experience is far less than the experience of any hardworking SA from CAM/AZB/Kco.
While he may come across as an affable chap, he doesn’t deserve to call himself a partner of any firm in the capital markets practice.
