This week we have some exclusive news on HSA going full-steam ahead, an unreported S&R star hire (and why I think it could be one of the best-placed firms if the foreigners ever come), and a little bit of gossip on what Luthra & Luthra has been up to the last few years.
Before we start with this week's share of gossip, micro-scoops and all the big news stories you may have missed, I want to thank all of you subscribers from the bottom of my heart for signing up and supporting Legally India.
Response and interest has been even greater than anticipated, and all your emails and messages have been given us much joy here at LI.
But first, we'll unfortunately start out this week with some very sad news
Dadi Bejonji Engineer, Crawford Bayley & Co senior partner, legend of the law firm world and mentor to generations of lawyers, passed away on 30 May. He was 82 years old. Heartfelt condolences to his colleagues, wife and family.
Lawyers of his stature are unfortunately becoming rarer and rarer.

Now who else is there, except Mr. Asher...
Big time now for following new age law firms and do some structural reform!
Partner promotions happen at CB every 21 yrs is what i read on LI somewhere so not sure when thats going to happen!!
2 of them are in their 80's. CB has more litigation matters than any of the top firms though!
You will rarely find their names in any league table. All of them are legends in their own right, CB does not have any HR or PR as it functions the old fashioned way.
But no, I wasn't watching football, I was watching The Breakfast Club if you must know :)
Another CB Senior Partner Mr. Maniar expired 2yrs back, don't recollect that being reported much either. He used to specialize in IPR.
