There are also boutique dispute firms. I’m not able to make out the difference between chamber v litigation firms v dispute firms?
(Not including tier 1 firm disputes practice in this conversation)
I understand these firms don’t have a counsel practice as such, and are larger scale filing offices and act as solicitor firms? For example - do karanjawala partners appear in court ?
Apart from pay, how the is work, learning and eventual growth, benefits different? How to decide which one to pick?
Please answer sincerely, and many blessings will come your way :D
Whether parters appear & argue in court depends on the specific partner. Naturally, they don't appear in the high-stake matters (of which there are plenty). I've seen firm partners who argue and let their team argue. I've seen partners who don't have the confidence to argue (or competence - and when they do, they mess up). Naturally, their juniors don't get opportunities to argue either.
If you want a practice in which you primarily argue & appear in court - especially throughout the city and not just at HC/SC/NCLAT, go for a chamber.
