Exclusive

Thursday, 15 September 2011 By Legally India Law firms

Exclusive: Former Remfry & Sagar patents head and Lakshmi Kumaran & Sridharan (LKS) partner Dr Sanjay Kumar has left to start his own intellectual property (IP) law firm Perfexio Legal fulfilling entrepreneurial ambitions.

Kumar co-founded Perfexio Legal along with two other partners in the Noida region in the first week of September to focus on IP related work alongside some bit of corporate law.

Kumar said: “I have 18 years of experience in the field of IP and it is the dream of every lawyer to start his own practice, which is the reason for starting out Perfexio Legal. Our focus is completely on IP related work and little corporate work as both are interlinked. I’ve always represented innovation-based clients and will further be focussing on them.”

Kumar had joined L&S along with another IP practitioner last year after having spent more than ten years at Remfry & Sagar.

Perfexio Legal’s office is located in sector 142 of Noida’s Advent Business Park and has four associates with plans of further manpower expansion.

Kumar declined to confirm details of the other two Perfexio founding partners but said their names would be confirmed publicly in due course.

LKS partner Badri Narayanan speaking on behalf of the firm confirmed Kumar’s departure while adding that LKS wished him best.

Earlier we saw Rajeshwari H. leave KnS partners and start her venture... now we see Dr. Kumar leave Remfry (not to forget H Subramaniam who left as head of Remfry IP in the previous century to start his own firm).

Looks like IP attorneys are confident of moving thier book with them and hence the confidence :)

LKS is at it again. [...] You may get some one for a short time at a low price but then such things are bound to happen. Say goodbye to a large chunk of technology book of business.

For your information Sanjay Kumar was the highest paid partner in LKS, his annual package was Rs. 1.2 crore (excluding bonus), the packages of some of the most senior partners in LKS who have been with the firm for last 20 to 25 years is around Rs. 50 to 60 lakhs annually (including bonus). This shows the importance of Sanjay Kumar to LKS IP practise.
