Pamasis merges with SanAd Legal to form PSL

Pamasis Law Chambers and SanAd Legal have merged to form the 5-partner, 20-lawyer Delhi and Mumbai based law firm PSL.

Pamasis was founded as a boutique litigation and tax advisory firm in 2012 by NLU Jodhpur 2008 alumnus Sameer Jain and his brother Siddharth Jain, a 2006 law alumnus of Lucknow University, and advocate Sandeep Bajaj. Its other partner is Manju Jain.

Mumbai-based sole proprietorship SanAd was founded in 2015 as a litigation and corporate advisory firm by Nirma University 2012 law alumnus Aditya Chopra.

Pamasis partner Bajaj commented in a press note that the primary reason behind the merger is that the two firms already have an existing “working relationship and exceptional understanding” that will help leverage their “joint capabilities” towards their aim to “unlock business opportunities propelling business growth”.

Chopra affirmed the sentiment that an existing working relationship for several years motivated him to align his practice with Pamasis.

Jain told us that the PSL next planned to open offices in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad through tie-ups with local advocates in those regions.

PSL will specialise in conflict resolution, arbitration, and corporate/commercial laws, intellectual property, antitrust and competition law, taxation, real estate, land and civil law, according to the press note.

Have known Sameer for a long time. Gem of a person and a very good counsel to have on one's side. Good to see him doing well!

This is the kind of news we lawyers wait for every day with bated breath and an eager sense of anticipation. This could potentially alter the dynamics of the corporate legal world.

Yes. It is a breath of fresh air. Big name firm's are old news. Same sh** different names.

“unlock business opportunities propelling business growth” - this line is there. Sigh!

Sorry, still don't really understand that comment :)

If there were a bigger merger that also happened this week, I would understand. As it stands, we have always tried to cover start-ups, smaller firms, medium sized firms and the biggest firms: the legal market after all, consists of all sorts of firms.

And we've reported on Pamasis before, and how it has been acting on some interesting deals and litigations:

You know it's your attention to detail that got you that paralegal job right?
Brothers share stuff... What's the big deal?
In today's day and age of the bug law firms... A small startup firm doing well.. and no one can stonach that?
Are we that besoted or jealous of someone else's hardworking and dedication?
Great job Sammy.

Absolutely. I know Sammy and Siddharth personally and have witnessed their growth from the inception... Why not encourage for their efforts... unless we are only interested of taking of the Biggies here... havent we had enough of it...

Eye for detail! May be these two just had a tie and one borrowed it from the other before the photo shoot.

6.1 (Suit) and 6.1.1 (Well Wisher) is the same person commenting under two different names. Note the double period ".." in both the comments. It's unlikely for two different persons to make the same grammatical error.

You got it wrong this time... I am not the "Suit".... and apologies for the grammatical error... didnt consider worth proof reading my comment, as i indeed had better drafts to work on. Move on mate...
