2. Professionally bad: Doesn't take interest in teaching juniour lawyers the ropes, is like that American law firm partner who told the London Times (on condition of anonymity) that the usefulness of juniour lawyers is little more than "bugger all" but doesn't help us understand how we could be more useful, humiliates people in front of their team, doesn't take responsibility when something goes heywire but expects his juniours to take the blame, expects 24 hour availability (while not necessarily reflecting that in his own schedule), doesn't stand up for his team and in any other way behaves like a terrible person.
Though, have seen him schooling the associates as well, but the associates accepted the blunder they have made.
Still remember what FSI and GC means in RE.

2. The horse-drawn bus between Knightsbridge and Clapham, which Lord Bowen is thought to have had in mind, was real enough. But its most famous passenger, and the others I have mentioned, are legal fictions. They belong to an intellectual tradition of defining a legal standard by reference to a hypothetical person, which stretches back to the creation by Roman jurists of the figure of the bonus paterfamilias.
Healthcare at Home v The Common Services Agency [2014] UKSC 49, per Lord Reed, with whom Lords Mance, Kerr, Sumption and Hughes JJSC agreed.
Continuing in Lord Reed's admirable style (but definitely not as classy as him), the "nontoxic Tier 1 partner" is, unfortunately, a character in your imagination, not one who inhabits either the legal village of Indian jurisprudence, or the legal village of Indian commercial lawyers. We do not know him, therefore, for our purposes, he does not exist. Until he can be introduced, a season ticket for him cannot be created.
Can anyone help with names of few non toxic tier 1 partners in real estate.
