Personally, i hate to pay for a lawyer who knows the instruments, but not the court, and the vice versa.
It's a billing tactic, according to me .. make a SA a partner for being in the firm long enough.. and then bill for partner time.
As someone who has to pass these bills, it's most frustrating. And sadly, there is no solution. Losing hope with Indian firms day by day..
