Anyone heard of Indian Law Partners? Besides the ubiquitous name, what practice areas do they focus on? Who are their leading partners and what are their strengths? Do they have a strategy? Do they have any corporate relationships? What would be their average revenues and profits per annum, per partner? Is it just me or are others equally unaware?

Don't get so senti dude. Vedanta was Sam client. Clearly they didn't go to SAM for this mega merger. Seriously what the hell is wrong with dick heads like you.

Khaitan seems to be doing really well - they have been involved in the biggest deals off late. Good going and all the best to them - I think they definitely are cutting their way to the top (if not there already)!!

S&R must be representing its old client Cairn PLC which is still a significant minority shareholder in Cairn India

As you mentioned, Cairn is a minority shareholder. Why would it need any lawyers? They do not have to do anything!
