Nalsar Hyderabad 2008 alumnus Manish Aggarwal has become partner at top global arbitration start-up boutique Three Crowns LLP in London, having joined the firm from Allen & Overy (A&O) as a senior associate just after it had set up in 2014.
Aggarwal had begun his career at A&O London in 2008 after graduation, completing a post-graduate diploma in international dispute resolution from 2014 at the University of London’s Queen Mary college.
Three Crowns was set up in 2014 with offices London, Washington DC and Paris by six senior partners from firms such as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Jones Day, Convington & Burling and Shearman & Sterling.
It now has 13 partners, including Aggarwal.
The firm’s USP: a partner-led service focusing purely on global arbitration, with profitability per equity partner reportedly having hit top magic circle firm levels of between £1.3m and £1.6m after its first year of operations.
We have reached out to Aggarwal and Three Crowns for comment.

What is the problem here? Why make issue out of everything, Master Minor?
So it is nothing short of a small miracle how a NALSAR boy climbed up the totem pole in this record time without the benefit of any of these privileges. A real salt of the earth guy!
I'm an alumni of QMUL :)

Re highlighting other NLU alumni, we're more than happy to, but the reason we cover NLS alums more than other NLUs is because they've simply been around for longer than any other NLU and therefore it is simply more likely that a greater number of them have attained seniority (and corresponding achievements) in the profession...
3C has not and does not pretend to have bucked (whatever that means!) the traditional business model in the litigation market.
(1) their business model is not much different from others, only difference is that the partner to associate ratio is very small and every case gets tremendous amount of partners attention (personal choice of the partners who prefer doing advocacy rather than BD, no model here); (2) they don't operate in the "litigation market", international arbitration is a whole different deal (apples n oranges), and (3) they haven't shaken shit up, cus the partners there were big gorillas in this practice areas for decades and continue to get the work they used to earlier (perhaps with a bigger margin as they are no longer part of a larger set up).
In case ur wondering: yes, I work in arbitration and no, not for 3C.
