Currently interning with a T-1 disputes team in Delhi. I have noticed that pretty much 9 times out of 10, the partners are briefing senior counsel to appear and argue. The equity partner too does the same and so do the partners under him.
How are they okay to almost never be arguing and always be briefing? Is this professionally satisfying?
Thanks!
2. Stakes being extremely high at a T-1 firm hence engaging a fairly senior counsel makes sense.
3. Lawyers willing to be arguing counsels ether leave before making partner, or leave post partnership t establish chambers
And for the firm: Winning > my satisfaction
