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?
Will the well-qualified partners they poached from other firms leave?
Will the firm merge into KCO?
Will Amit Shah order the ED to resume the investigations into Abhishek Banerjee and Sanjay Basu?
OR…
Will it be business as usual?
Will the BJP govt retain AQUILAW?
Will Abhishek Banerjee patch up with the BJP?
Because one X factor is that Sanjay Basu has bought Ei Samay newspaper.
- Sucharita Basu attended the swearing in of Suvendu Adhikari and praised him on LinkedIn
- Aquilaw issued a public notice rejecting all links with Abhishek Banerjee and TMC
- Sanjay Basu held a meeting with Ritobroto Banerjee, leader of the rebel TMC faction
- Sanjay Basu wrote an article in his newspaper (Ei Samay) criticising Mamata Banerjee’s government and the “pishi bhaipo culture” of the TMC (he actually said this)
- Ei Samay has published a barrage of pro-BJP articles since the result
- No indication of any significant departures or mass reduction of work at the firm
- ED has not resumed its earlier action against Sanjay Basu so far: complete quiet there
