According to Link Legal managing partner Atul Sharma and co-managing partner Nusrat Hassan, Singh had “a very good reputation in his area of practice and his joining will add to the capability of the firm in supporting its power sector clients by providing wholistic project advice”.
Sahay would “add strength to the firm’s Bengaluru operations as well as to the corporate practice”, they said in a statement.
HSA managing partner Hemant Sahai commented: “I wish them all the best in their future endeavours and I am sure they will benefit from the experience they have gained from us.”
The firm had seen a steady trickle of exits (as well as hires) in the past months.

Kian, pls do a story on Gamestop from an Indian legal perspective. On Indian Reddit there is a similar campaign being planned with respect to Suzlon energy.
@4.1: The Indian Reddit version of WallStreetBets is IndianStreetBets. But I urge people to buy GME stock on NYSE instead of Suzlon just to show solidarity with the global movement against oligarchs. Also, the GameStop campaign is more sustainable than Suzlon, as there is regulation in India that prevents a repeat of the US situation.
This WSB meme on GME is all well and good so long as you don't end up holding the bag when the the stock price crashes, as it eventually will since the fundamentals don't support the current prices.
Don't be an idiot (or to use the WSB terms, "retard" / "autist") and get involved in buying useless stock (priced in USD at that) which will bite you in the arse.
Do law firms fire associates? I’ve joined a few months back from the 2020 batch and it’s been work from home for me. But I keep making a lot of mistakes and fucking up. The partner also treats me like I’m an idiot and associates primarily give me work. Work which is small and mechanical but because of the very rigid and formal nature of it, I do it in my own way which isn’t what they want.
Law firms do fire associates. In thier own way. All A0s make mistakes. Not everyone is HMJRFN, born to FS Nariman. All A0s are also treated by their partners as idiots. Especially when you work with a very 'senior partner'. The goal is to keep learning from your mistakes and not repeating them. Soon, you'll get a hang of it. Give it atleast 2 years of hard work before you call it quits. It won't be easy though (no lawyer's life is). P.S. as a A0, I'd suggest that you do not execute work 'your own way'. Nothing personal, but probably your own way is not something the client/industry expects. Pretty sure every partner/senior advocate is just an idiotic A0 who just never quit and learnt from each of their mistakes. All the best and welcome to the profession.
Yeah but half the days toh I’m totally free and they don’t give me work. Sometimes they just random call at 10 pm and give me work like changing names off of agreements and making info gaps lists.
Do they fire freshers though? It’s been work from home and so quite stressful cuz I can’t get the added wisdom of other freshers or colleagues and all. Like, do they not confirm your job after the probationary period? Does that ever happen?
Yes. Freshers get fired too. It's important for you to remember that at the end of the day you are a resource (albeit, a human one perhaps). Initial teething problems are fine. But don't get comfortable with them. Take every failure as a challenge. If you feel bad that you've been relegated to menial tasks, the only way for you to stick it to them is by executing even the most menial tasks meticulously. Then, when you do get a proper task don't let your self down (Eminem lose yourself style). It's not rocket science (even in the literal sense). P.S. WFH or office dosent make any difference on stress levels. If anything, now you don't atleast get yelled at in front of everyone or in unfamiliar surroundings. P.P.S. Mr. Please yaar, it is very easy to trivialise and mock psychological concerns hiding behind anonymity. Im sure that on the face of it you are one of those woke people who tweet RIP SSR on their own social handles but do jack **** when it comes to actually helping out people. Kian, if you do take comments seriously, I believe that the virtue of anonymity should be used constructively to help each other out. So yes, you should create a sub-topic where such things can be discussed.
Also, I don't think the question asked here is similar to that of salaries, comparision of NLUs, etc. Those are crap. I do agree with you there Mr. Please yaar.
And therefore you decide to do it your own way.. If you are being given work to change names of companies in an agreement and you are goofing up on that more often than not..then, my friend may be you may be (unfortunately) thinking in the right direction. Get your act together, spend less time reading gossips on LI- use it as a refreshment not main course. Even perseverance will not help you till the time you get your act together..
Kian - request if a separate discussion forum/ thread etc can be made for existential questions of associates and law graduates (like salaries/ do they get fired/ how one law school is doing better than the other/ how JGLS or NLUD are the best, etc. etc.).
My son joined a firm in July 19. From Mar 25, 2020, WFH. It is still WFH (feb 21), but he just finds time to eat and sleep. FULLY loaded. The firm has now found a way around the virus. Though most of his work is on arbitration now, and one arbitrator even heard a case on shivaji jayanti. No yearly increment though. But always paid on time. My advice, consider work like God. If the chaddis can treat a bummer like God, your own job is supreme, never undermine it's importance.
How difficult is it to move from one practice area to another? I’ve just joined a firm and they didn’t end up giving me the practice area that I wanted. I got stuck with BnF when I wanted MnA. And the firm does not have rotation system. Is it a good idea to switch?
