Khare Legal Chambers partner Abir Roy joined Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan as a joint partner in its Delhi competition practice on 2 January.
Roy, who had left Amarchand Mangaldas as a senior associate in May to join the Mumbai-based Khare Chambers in June, is the eighth lawyer in LKS’ competition practice including practice co-head and senior partner S Seetharaman. The NLU Jodhpur 2007 alum, who had stints at Nishith Desai Associates Mumbai and Pathak & Associates Delhi before Amarchand and Khare said he would have the same roles and responsibility at LKS as he did at Khare.
Seetharaman who heads the practice jointly with joint partner Sundar Ramanathan said: “We haven’t got any business plans as such to put our eyes on to. We are a litigating law firm, we just take it as it comes. We wanted to increase our own bench strength so that we can take up more [work]. We hope to do well. We will be doing both advisory and litigation.”

But words such as "We haven’t got any business plans as such...we just take it as it comes....wanted to increase our own bench strength" are very open ended and jittery. I am sure Abir is better than this.
He is a better lawyer, ex-Amarchand, NDA and P&A. LKS ought to have a plan for a good lawyer like him.
And what is this concept of "Joint Partner", "Associate Partner" etc.? - I guess it is mere designation.
All the best Abir. Hope your decision was taken wisely and not in haste or desperate situation.
Fuss is this...

P.S. Almost, not all most :P
Most ridiculous (and hilarious) comment.
alumni reach such great heights in their professional careers. Congratulations Abir!
Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat, tum kya jaano...
Have interacted with him on competition law and his knowledge is par excellence. And to top it all he is a PARTNER and also CHAMPION at POKER!!! DOUBLE PAIR!!!
DOUBLE PAIR!!!!
P.S. There is so much about the practice of law that you possibly don't know.
[u][i]You argue on assumptions[/i][/u]
Your comment seems to suggest that you are a much elderly person, yet you assume too much about me, although you neither know my name (or my daddy's name), nor my age, nor my family background.
[u][i]I don't care about your story/ life-experience[/i][/u]
I am neither interested in knowing what leaps of faith you have taken at a late stage of life, nor why you feel what you feel. Don't argue by appeals to emotion, which is a logical fallacy. I won't ever, in my life, pretend to understand what jump you have taken, so you can stop pretending to understand me.
[u][i]A law firm stint is bound to make you bitter[/i][/u]
It's a reality that the law firm sector just isn't meant for ones who jump from Government jobs after long tenures, although some firms indeed hire retired government officers as salaried partners (with a low salary). People like me have to hold the hands of such partners and guide them even for a simple legal notice.
[u][i]How I will feel at 50[/i][/u]
Trust me, I won't bow to any "family partner", because I belong to a generation that is not in the habit of signing letters with "Yours obediently" or "Yours faithfully".
[b]P.S.[/b] I do feel bad for you. But hey, life isn't easy. Be happy that you are making money and don't feel bad about bowing to 30 year olds (that's my generation btw). Even a senior accounts officer bows to a younger CFO.
