Juris Corp builds back up again as ex-Trilegal's Aninda Pal joins as corporate partner

Symbiosis Law School alumnus Aninda Pal joined Juris Corp as a partner in its mergers & acquisitions (M&A) and private equity (PE) practice from November 2015, according to a press release from the firm last week. Pal has worked in Trilegal as a counsel in its corporate legal team for more than eight years before this.

His primary areas of practice include mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, corporate restructuring, private equity, venture capital and general corporate.

H Jayesh, co-founder of Juris Corp said that the firm was looking forward for Pal to strengthen their M&A practice and taking it to the next level.

Trilegal partner Anand Prasad commented: “Aninda is a good and solid guy. Any organisation he joins will benefit greatly from his joining. We would wish him the very best.”

Juris Corp has lost a string of partners in recent years but has gradually begun replenishing its ranks, having recently recruited Economic Laws Practice (ELP) partner Jeet Sen Gupta and promoted two internally.

Chotu.. Good going...trilegal doesnt deserve you.. 8 years of loyalty and no partnership when your peers have been made partners.. Dont want to get into merit of whether or not they are deserving.. Jayesh will appreciate your talent.

These must be people who are commenting on merit of [...] and [...]. They are stalwarts, everyone knows it. People are jealous. Why do you think Trilegal allows them all liberties, to come in late, stay late, play darts in morning?? They are damn good at their work.

I used to work in [...]'s team. Some of the people are ao insecure that they couldnt tolerate the fact that a woman neednt nevessarily tolerate the misognyst mindset which mushrooms there. I clearly wouldnt want to step in late to office and come back to work post 11 pm as a routine. Thats not being busy thats being unorganized and lacking a social life and giving yourself way to much importance as no one else does.

Only JAyesh and Talat are Partners. Others are partners in name only

but are there any...didn't JC see a spate of exits this last year and year before? I thought there was no one to head around.

Exit was of the most talented Partners who had earlier developed the firm's practice extensively in litigation , Capital Markets, Taxation, Private Equity and so on .After their exit Juris Corp exited several practice areas. New partners are mainly internal promotees (Yes men)or people who have moved from Larger and better firms and are figurehead "partners" only for billing purposes. Only Jayesh and HR call the shots at Juris Corp

Kian, has LI got a bit slow in its frequency of reporting. As in, I don't see as many news as, say, last year(s). Also the comments seem to have considerably dried up. I am sure it's something statistically verifiable. But my gut sense is that LI no longer publishes as many news, particularly law firm news, as it used to. Happy to be wrong, as I am a LI fan.

Yes, I think you're right, we've been a bit slow on law firm news in the last few months. Sorry about that.

Maybe a bit of a break after Shroff vs Shroff overload, plus the law firm market has been a little quiet too, and we at LI have been pre-occupied with a few other areas of coverage also and figuring out what our strategy should be going forward.

But yes, law firms are still our most important beat I think and very important to us, so it won't go anywhere.

Please let us know if there's anything specific we're not covering.

How much Senior Counsel's charge at Bombay HC story is still pending!!

Kian - overload of litigation news on LI!! I am sure that from a reporting perspective, that is more intellectually rewarding, but as a law firm lawyer I find this super boring. I can safely say that I am not the only one who feels this way.. The number of comments (or lack thereof) bears witness to this. Even if there are no major partner movements in the firms, I am sure you can do general interest pieces on work cultures across the firms, hiring strategies across practice areas, how long an average law school hire sticks around in a law firm before quitting (firm or profession), male to female ratio across practice areas and hierarchies.. I could go on! Sincere request - please bring back our LI!!

Hi, I really don't get Faithful reader' point. This is not supposed to be a law firm only site. There exists no utility in carrying news pertaining to lateral hires, deals and exits.
More important issues to concentrate would be the impediments faced by Juniors in litigation, State of Faculty in Law schools, MPL 8, how the current syllabus at major law schools is inadequate. THESE are the things to concentrate on, though I think Kian already knows that, cause enough people have said that already.
