Luthra & Luthra has outbid Singaporean firms in a charity auction at a legal event in Singapore to secure the mock internship of English queen's counsel (QC) and Essex Court Chambers tenant Toby Landau, according to Bar & Bench.
Landau told Bar & Bench:
I don’t often put myself up for sale, but in a weak moment I was persuaded to take part in a legal aid charity auction in Singapore. My expectation was that I would be “purchased” by a Singapore law firm as a trainee for a day.
But Mr. Luthra unexpectedly started some aggressive bidding, and didn’t give up till the last minute. So I was purchased for Delhi instead of Singapore!”
Landau, who spent from 1:30pm to 5pm at Luthra's offices following the auction, was full of praise for the firm in the exclusive interview, noting that Luthra was “a very special firm, because I think it has got a particular atmosphere which is engendered by the boss. He exudes a great deal of warmth, and there is lot of collegiality”.
Besides the Luthra internship, Landau also talked of his experience in co-drafting the UK Arbitration Act, working part-time in Lahore, and working with Harish Salve on the Vodafone arbitration with the Indian government (a “great honour").ndian government (a “great honour").

We respect people who are peers or above us. This is ironical and in Hindi it is g... Cha..na.
This is how law firms work. Having a spine is not respected.
More to come. Need to leave for work.
