What more do you expect when FM, Noida management does not pay current and past retainers their areears even after getting 8 crores from Little. Obviously retainers shall start leaving one by one.

Earlier FM, Noida management was raising the bogey of late clearance of fee bills as an alibi to deny the timely monthly payments to its past and present retainer lawyers who are now in almost four month arrears, but what excuse is there now to delay the payment of dues after having received the huge settlement amount from Little. Instead the Managing partner chooses to go to US on a long trip. From the five promoted partners, three have already left in less than a year. Most unfortunate state of affairs....hats off to the patience shown by retainers and not shown by a few others.
