But the senior equity partner refuses to condemn this junior partner, despite several people having quit their jobs thanks to the junior partner and having reported concerns about the junior partner's behaviour. I have worked for a long time in a team where the junior partner is, by all accounts, a man who has temperament issues, bad working habits, negative attitude and untrustworthy. What is evident is that none of his actions or his behaviour was condemned by any of his superiors, which is why he continued like he did.īear in mind this is not a Shuva specific issue. And that these juniors would have flagged the issues to Shuva's superiors at the firm. Pretty safe to assume that his bad temperament would not have developed over a day and that his juniors (even when he was not a partner) would have had to face his temper issues even then. During this period, he would have had juniors. Shuva Mandal would have started his career as an associate and progressed through different levels before he became a big shot partner. If that's not possible, at the very least, do not put on a fake show like you care.Ģ. But if that's the case, please stop paying lip service to stuff like mental health and other such matters. Now, fundamentally there is no issue, a Firm's management can do as it pleases and can run the business however it wants and profitability may be all that matters. It is clear that these law firms don't really care about how bad a person may be with his juniors, as long as that person is a big name and can make them money. Given he made a name for himself at AZB and also worked at SAM for some time, it speaks a lot about these firms and other law firms in general. But some observations which are relevant to all need to be made.ġ. Now, I'm not joining Anagram any time soon, not really bothered about his style of working.
Though I have not worked with him, the overwhelming number of comments reiterating this, makes it pretty clear that all of what is being said about his agressive nature and style of working is true. I've seen so many comments here on how Shuva Mandal has a temperament issue, is not a good leader, etc. Shuva Mandal Work history From: Jul 2017: Group General Counsel, Tata Sons Limited ( Mumbai Area) Oct 2015 - Jun 2017: National Practice Head, M&A and Corporate at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co Jul 2000 - Sep 2015: Partner, AZB & Partners ( Mumbai Area) Education 1995 - 2000: National Law School of India University,, Law Since then, Mandal had in 2018 heavily hired into the Tata Sons in-house team from top law firms and corporates but by 2019 the team had shrunk back to around six after multiple exits to other companies. In 2017, we had first reported that he would join Tata Sons as its new GC, succeeding Bharat Vasani. Mandal, a 2000 NLSIU Bangalore graduate, had worked at AZB & Partners as one of the busiest M&A partners until he joined Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas' new Mumbai office in 2015. We have reached out to the Tata group for comment. Similarly, we understand that no official resignation announcement of Mandal has been made at the Tatas to date - one source speculated they might want to wait until a successor for the role has been finalised. Reis and Mandal have not been reachable for comment.Īnagram’s Reis - who does M&A - and Simhan - who does international tax - have both been tight-lipped so far, despite some press coverage of Anagram, apparently not having given any comments or interviews about what they were planning. However, the rumour mill - which has been churning for at least a month on this front - suggests that Mandal has been responsible for bringing the NDA pair on board and has been interviewing lawyers and partners to join the firm, of which he might be a managing partner once it becomes official.
The first public mention of Anagram had been in April, with Nishith Desai Associates (NDA) leaders Simone Reis and Rajesh Simhan apparently starting the new firm. The general counsel (GC) of Tata Sons, Shuva Mandal, is set to exit for Mumbai-based start-up law firm Anagram Legal, which we understand he has been instrumental in setting up, according to three sources with authoritative knowledge of the news.
