Headline

Ashurst shuts Delhi branch in wake of Lawyers Collective judgment

Comment

The fact of the matter is that Ashurst, like most other international firms, haven't got a clue about what they want to do in India and how to successfully build an India practice. Simply getting on a flight to India every week and turning up and announcing that "We're XYZ Firm, give us work", is not enough to get clients in India to start instructing the international firms. There is very little value that an international firm can add to a client's domestic Indian legal work and both clients and Indian firms recognize this. All one has to do is look at the 16 years that Ashurst spent in India.. and the little that they have to show for it... Not even an Indian qualified lawyer heading the firms so called India practice!!!! Wonder how many Indian qualified partners/senior lawyers the firm has?? none at last count???
