Recently I engaged CAM. My bills were on an average Rs. 12K per hour. Irrespective of partner or associate. Why is it so?

SA at CAM here - we end up giving blended hourly rates for 12-13k for a lot of our mandates.

From my time at JSA can confirm the below based on relationships:

Associate: 5.5k - 10k

SA: 8k-12k

PA: 10k-14k

Partner: 10k-15k
