The title. Why have firms like Khaitan, AZB, and SAM not set up shop in Hyderabad ? Plus, looks like NDA, DSK have shut shop, and looks like JSA does not have a corporate team there anymore, after the partner left to set up his own shop. To add to it, neither does Indus or Samvad seem to have a major local client base. What is going on ?
Just rephrase the topic as follows: Why does India have such few tier 1 jobs outside Delhi. Mumbai and Bengaluru, when the US (with 1/3 our population) has tier 1 jobs in NY, Boston, LA, Chicago, San Francisco, Plano Alto, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia etc?
Saying as a Telugu guy. We are selfish AF. Legal shops are all about sharing profit and to mutually grow. All the people who used to work at these big shops separated on their own.
That's why
