The question arose because I always see their name popping up here. Is it because they are from NLS, hence favored here - platform largely visited by NLU bros.
2. Gopal Sankaranarayanan - 21 letters.
In all seriousness, he's a great arguing counsel. On his day he's one of the best I have seen.
I am much less convinced by RR. He's a darling of all firms because his office preps him well, but I feel that he is not aggressive enough and doesn't push for reliefs. He is a good choice for extremely large companies who don't particularly care, I guess.
For a guy without lawyers or politicians in the family to come from Bangalore and set up home in Delhi from scratch, he has my respect. Even now, his home and office are rented. His wife is also from a middle class Chennai background. I have never seen anything nepo about him and I have been here in the SC for more than 15 years.
Nepo guys have everything given to them on a platter - clients, briefs, cars, flats. I think it's very unfair to keep using that term just because someone has done well for himself / herself.
1) His father was friends with KKV
2) Gsanks took an year or two break (or maybe months) after law school before jumping into litigation scene.
3) There is an interview of gsanks all the whole he was in Law School at a youtube channel interviewing Sr Adv (Retd Justice ) Indu Malhotra. Speaks a lot.
He had connections.
2. He did an LLM, he joined KKV and then took a two year break. What does that have to do with Nepo?
3. When Gsanks was in Law School, YouTube had not been invented!!! He did that interview ten years later, when he was in practise, in fact in her own chamber!
This is called research?!!
Pls explain
His personality is good like others say. Worlload is Extreme. Likes others say, he is generous and pays well but yes crazy work hours.
When I had joined only 2 juniors were doing monumental work.It is really competent jumiors who research, make notes of arguments and brief the senior.
It is like that with any senior counsel.
So yes, whatever this person has said is true.
@Kian: I demand justice, transparency or at least a mod position so that I can abuse power too!
