The daughter of Amarchand Mangaldas Mumbai managing partner Cyril Shroff, Paridhi Shroff, has married Karan Adani, the son of prominent Gujarat industrialist Gautam Adani, founder of the Adani Group.
The Economic Times featured a 31-photo-slideshow of the 11-13 February Goa wedding, reporting the attendance of Reliance industrialists Anil and Mukesh Ambani and their mother Kokilaben Ambani; Vedanta group’s founder and executive chairman Anil Agarwal; Kotak Mahindra Bank promoter; vice-chairman and managing director Uday Kotak, Essar Group vice-chairman Shashi Ruia; Kingfisher group founder Vijay Mallya; ICICI bank non-executive chairman KV Kamath; Enam financial chairman Vallabh Bansali; Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra.
The Telegraph India speculated that the presence of so many industrialists at the wedding was reportedly the cause for the postponement of Mamata Bannerjee’s Mumbai roadshow.
The Times of India also reported that BJP leader LK Advani, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, “senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, Morari Bapu, Parimal Nathwani, Keshubhai Patel, Sudhir Nanavati, Girish Dani, Jaxay Shah and Kartikeya Sarabhai” were present, while Daily Bhaskar featured more than 30 wedding photos.
A large number of partners from international law firms are understood to have attended the ceremony.
The Ahmedabad-headquartered Adani conglomerate is a long-standing client of Amarchand, with the firm having advised on Adani Power’s record initial public offering (IPO) in 2009. In early 2012 Amarchand had also set up an office in Ahmedabad.

I have surely become your fan Pacman.....LI is tgoing down the drain day by day.

To get or keep clients, marry the guy/girl.
Protik Da at Lawctopus didn't have a clue about this.
Thank you for the clarification Kian. Are you married?
Kian is married... to Legally India. Actually, he is married to "barely legal" :)
To answer your question, LI is a reporting forum for keeping a lawyer updated on the developments in the legal front. I am sure none of us are too bothered about what marries what....and who marries who....just saying.
Maybe a movement of a partner or a latest legal update would have interested an individual but to give an update on somebody's personal life....gimme a break. If this is the level of reporting that one expects out of LI, they might as well name the site Legally Shroffs or Legally Khaitan for that matter.........LI as i perceived it to be was a front to keep us aware of the legal pulse but unfortunately LI has reduced itself to nothing more than a mere page 3 website.....may i dare say......unfortunately the Anon failed to understand the real message that was being sent
Is that the key to success of....... and AMSS......So basically the working of a law firm such as Amss is all about the business tie ups.....starting from Shardul/Pallavi tie up etc etc etc... and therefore the key to achieving societal position such as the Shroffs is only through and all about family ties between business groups?
More importantly what i fail to understand how does a marriage give an observer of an indian law firm the so called insight into the working of a law firm? Please do pardon my ignorance but i think these are to trivial a matter to be reported...... unless LI is a forum for the Shroffs to propagate and advertise themselves.
Why is it a sad comment on our country? What great shakes will you achieve if CC and A&O operates in India?
Please clarify? What are their roles? And where is reception happening?
Kian, It would be interesting if you can cover all weddings of/between partners in law firms (and policies, if any, in connection with the same). Thank you.
All the NLU types from Event Management Committees, Reception & Registration etc etc etc must have been in charge of related matters at the wedding!
Legally India (Kian): Why did you think this was newsworthy? Were you just running out of content?
You think Zia being married to Jaydev Modi is not important, by that count?
Wake up and smell the chai: this is how highly successful business works.
any idea what you talking about? LI is not a site that if they planning for business development, it shall be reported herein.
then also give some more news on affairs as well as well as other law firm marriages as well..then talk on it..
Kian..... please don't go down the route of turning a perfectly legit blog into a gossip column!
its shroff centric....
It is true that this country works on connections but it would be in bad toste to presume that this union is a purely commercial one.
To Whatay - there are actually firms that have created first generation commercial practices that are successful and competitive - some examples are S&R and Trilegal. It is hard though given the enormous clout of the entrenched powers that be!
And of course Trilegal and S&R has succeeded (but they are the exception rather than the rule). My comment is equally applicable to first generation lawyers within Biglaw- they simply do not have the social connections
SO true. If some lawyers are worshiped by thousands of lawyers and considered King (God forbid) in the Kingdom of Indian Law and if some lawyer kids would like to be as BIG as THE SHROFFS or maybe Bigger than them, then, I can surely see the future of Indian Lawyers as a bunch of CLEVER BUSINESSMEN hidden under the UNIFORM OF LAWYERS. Additionally, I am sorry to say, this news is not an intelligent piece worth of being published from the Editorial team of Legally India. But, if you were paid to publish it, then, I waive my right to criticize it.
If nothing else, the debate this story has generated should be vindication of our judgment in this case, even without the fact that the Economic Times and other mainstream non-law publications deemed it interesting enough for publication...?
But then again opinion are like Assh.... Everybody has one..... :-p
Will you entrust the future of Indian law to the next generation of Mumbai Shroffs?
( www.legallyindia.com/201202172583/Law-firms/li-mint-exclusive-rs-1000cr-amarchand-bcg-plan-revealed-analysed )
It is an interesting model for an interesting time in the Indian legal market; how well this model works will determine at least a few things about the future of the firm, and also possibly a few things about the future of the Indian legal market.
As such, tactful reporting on some family matters, bearing in mind a right to privacy, makes this a legitimate and relevant story, I believe.
Best wishes,
Kian
Just a thought.
So much for censoring LI...
The next generation of shroffs operating on their two wheel model seems like a better choice than someone with no track record or credentials. Going by the example of corporate india the family is a much better bet. The so called non founder professionals do not have the required attachment to a legacy to perpetuate it . No matter how smart they are as lawyers .there is something to be said about the two wheel model . Time will tell. Anyway what the fuck does all this have to do with Paridhi marriage to Karan. Really ! People have no work or what ? Kian this story has resulted in comments that are irrelevant . Crap.
