RSG SUMMARY

  • A firm that is chasing hard on the heels of the top two firms in the RSG top 40 ranking, AZB and Amarchand. RSG researchers wonder when the firm will make that leap, and feel that it is currently more a matter of perception than reality. JSA has a solid rank of senior partners that is actually lacking in the other two firms outside the top indviduals, but does not seem able, as yet, to convert their profiles into market feedback.

     

    However, it is a gem of a firm that would make an ideal tie-up partner. Despite some strong market rumours, the firm stays independent and strategically open. The vision of founder Jyoti Sagar to establish an equitable partnership should ensure the firm has longevity in the Indian legal market.

     

     

    Ranked #3
