AZB & Partners Delhi office has promoted three Delhi senior associates Rachit Bahl, Nandita Govind and Ritika Rathi to salaried partner.

The firm has also made up two new salaried partners - Nilanjana Singh and Nandish Vyas - in Mumbai, as first reported by Legally India in April.

AZB Delhi managing partner Ajay Bahl confirmed that the five promotions were internally announced at the firm last week.

Govind had joined AZB in January 2011 from Amarchand Mangaldas, where she had worked for four years after nearly three years at Dua Associates. She is a 2003 graduate from Delhi University.

Rathi had joined AZB in 2004 after graduating from Delhi University.

Rachit Bahl is a graduate of Amity Law School and had joined AZB in 2007 from UK law firm Rouse & Co in Dubai, according to legal website Bar & Bench which first reported the Delhi promotions.

LI - you are two days late on this story. HOpe you crack AMSS promos first.

Also Kian, do you have Saturdays and Sundays off?

A (hu)man needs a holiday sometimes, no? Took the liberty of turning my mobile phone off so may missed some leads alas.

We'll try our best to be on the button with the remaining promos.

Interesting, on the other hand, is that people complained when we report something early (as in the now-confirmed AZB Mumbai promos), and likewise complain when we report 2 days late. :)

Remember Kian sending a link about a post, which laid out a parameters to determine whether somebody is a "PRICK" or not. Suggest you seriously read it. And no I am not a Kian fan>>>>

Woah..woah.. take it easy.. I genuinely meant my best wishes to Kian. And whats with you? I am sure Kian would also love to have enough resource so that LI can give stories 7 days a week... why such offence?

Also, in journalism, a lot of times credit goes to the person who broke the story first. IN this case it was Bar and Bench..and thats been happening for a while in other stories also. I like LI better than BB, and as a devoted reader, I just thought LI could do with more staff, which I am sure Kian will agree to subject to resources. And hence the best wishes for more success - read that as revenues! How does that take away from LI or Kian one bit??

Latif - you are just being pig headed and reading in whatever meanings you want to.

Didn't really take offence, thanks for the feedback and thanks for the well-intentioned anti-trolling intervention too, Latif.

In journalism you get some stories, others you don't (where we don't we generally give credit to the place where first published, if appropriate). However, I still think that we manage to scoop the vast majority of law firm news so I hoped having a few days off without a mobile phone wouldn't be too terrible (though it did cause us to miss this particular one). In any case, I think Prachi held up the fort very well in my brief absence.

A larger LI team would obviously be great for everyone involved, subject to revenues and growing those sustainably without sacrificing independence, etc. We'll keep you posted and fingers crossed.

Best wishes,
Kian

From what I've heard, Rachit Bahl is not related to Ajay Bahl, but I'm not 100% on that.

Yeah, how about a partner salaries/compensation table to go along with an updated freshers' table?

Kian, are you doing any study/survey/review on partner salary comparison? When is it coming out?

We should be focused on the achievement of these lawyers. Congratulations to all the new partners. Despite the devaluation of the "partner" tag in recent years with it being given at a more junior level than, for example, foreign law firms (big generalization there, I know), it has become harder over the past couple of years to get made up.

That they have speaks to their quality and we should wish them luck as they move on the next step of their careers.
