L&L Mumbai lit MA Prateek Mishra to go independent to Delhi (pre-dating Saraf v Luthra)

Prateek Mishra goes independent in Delhi

L&L Partners Mumbai-based litigation managing associate, Prateek Mishra, has left to become an independent advocate in Delhi.

The 2013 NLIU Bhopal graduate had joined the firm after his 2014 LLM at Queen Mary, University of London.

“After almost 7 years at L&L, I have decided to shift back to Delhi and establish an independent practice focusing on commercial litigation, arbitration and insolvency, which have been my focus areas at L&L,” he commented.

“My time at the firm has been rewarding and I am grateful to Mr Luthra and Mr Chandhoke for their faith and mentorship through the years. I would also like to thank my colleagues and team members for their constant support.

Litigation equity partner Bobby Chandhoke commented: “He is a tremendous asset. We can only wish him all the very best!”

We understand that Mishra had resigned in late June, pre-dating the public spat between the two corporate partnership equity partners, Rajiv Luthra and Mohit Saraf (and in any case, the L&L litigation partnership is a separate one from the corporate partnership at the heart of that dispute).

What's to say that he didn't see the writing on the wall? This spat has been ongoing for ages!

Mr. Mishra has always been someone who carried great reputation among his seniors at L&L. Someone of his stature is surely a great valuable asset to any firm. The decision of his seniors at L&L to send him to Mumbai and solely operate the Litigation office is a live example of the respect Mr. Mishra carries among his seniors. So, I don't think there is any need to make vague and unnecessary assumptions while sitting in your AC cabins over Mr. Mishra's pre dated decision to go independent. Whatever maybe the outcome of the current clash between Mr. Luthra and Mr. Saraf one is sure that Mr. Prateek would always be in good books of his seniors at L&L.

Apologies, for my above-stated words. Prateek is a great friend, no harsh feelings for him. Good luck man!

L&L Lit in Mumbai has been a 3-5 lawyer practice since inception and mostly supervised from Delhi. His exit timing decision seems to have been made around the time L&L Lit was going through the upheaval caused due to the decision to give deferrals even when the firm was doing ok...that episode was a complete giveaway of the thought process of CSS. Expect more exits.

The best man from the Mumbai lit team departs. Obviously a big loss for Luthra. Nonetheless, a very hardworking person sinde college days and obviously a great future awaits and you will excel in your endeavours! All the best!

More like the only man. Mumbai lit wasnt a big operation to begin with. Not taking anything away from Mishra though. Not my best friend but a hard worker for sure.

What happens to the 3-4 associates that were working with him? Will they now directly report to HSC or will they be absorbed by separate teams?
