RSG SUMMARY

• The meteoric rise in profile and status of AZB & Partners in the Indian legal market is beginning to be widely known. The three named partners are all well-respected, although in Mumbai Zia Mody still has a powerful profile. However, there is evidence that some of the younger lawyers are getting recognised by clients who are increasingly happy to instruct them, with Zia supervising from a distance.

   

  This is a firm that has made its reputation through a passionate and successful commitment to quality, which has seen it win a number of the billion dollar M&A mandates of the past two years. 

   

  The firms' tie-up with Clifford Chance in 2009 ended in January 2010. While access to know-how and management expertise in one of the world's most developed law firms may have brought benefits to AZB, the two firms shared few instructions over the course of their 'best friend' arrangement.
