Because of our ethical approach to the profession, all relationships are long term and based on credibility and goodwill, with almost 100% client retention. Our firm never makes a direct marketing approach; the clients are drawn by its impeccable credentials and reputation.

Over the years, do you feel the legal scenario has transformed into the country?

The legal scenario in the country is rapidly changing in terms of quantity, but not in quality. Domain excellence built on an ethical core has placed the firm in a unique position.

How much do you feel the government is involved in your sector; do you pitch for any change?

The sector requires several reforms before foreign lawyers are permitted to practice in India, apart from that the longer the distance the government keeps, is better for the health of an independent profession like law.

How do you ensure a smooth infusion of technology in your nature of work?

The firm is a leader both nationally and internationally in integrating tools of lawtech in its practice and has contributed to the development of such technology.

Share the experience of your failure and what learning do you carry from it?

If the firm has foregone revenue due to its insistence on sticking to ethical standards, the firm considers it as a benchmark of its long term success rather than a failure, keeping the norms, dignity, and ethics of the profession at the highest pedestal, the firm has never solicited work or marketed its services.
