We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Moreover, this firm is one of the select few that can proudly claim a robust alumni network. Almost every lawyer who has ever worked at S&R is well-established and continues to excel post-departure.
The loss of UW, BP, BB, SB, TA, RB, DP, JLCP, VK, among many others, did not impact S&R's reputation or growth trajectory. Mohit's departure will similarly be inconsequential. This is not to minimise their contributions or potential. A positive trajectory, immune from such resignations across practice groups over these years, proves sound institution building.
A good example of this is Anand Prasad’s departure from Trilegal. He was one of its core founders. His leaving and starting a boutique practice didn’t make any difference at all there! Likewise, Akshay Jaitley (another core founder at Trilegal) resigned and ran a practice from France for a little while. Did it make a difference to the firm? No. Sitesh is a Senior Advocate. His leaving didn’t crush Trilegal’s dispute practice!
Here’s my forecast: like his peers before him, Mohit will go on to do great things. Best of luck, Mohit.
Divyanshu went back to JSA after spending 3-4 years at S&R - he was a senior EP, this must have def hit the firms books.
Maybe S&R has deep enough pockets to absorb these hits. But the firm is past its glory days - thats clear to see.
But do continue. It’s almost cute how you mistake seasoned experience for arrogance. If anonymous rants on LI are your pastime, by all means, entertain us. We’ll be here, laughing at your attempt to stay relevant while you lurk in the shadows.
