Balance and equity

Dear Editor,

I read with interest the June 2015 issue of India Business Law Journal. The cover story, Clash of the titans, which explored the repercussions of the break-up of Amarchand Mangaldas and the set up of separate law firms by brothers Shardul and Cyril Shroff. I think the story provides wonderful coverage of the practical realities and challenges facing the legal profession. The mantra is clear: “Get me the thrills and challenges at work and of course the exciting money”.

I was comparing your analysis with another publication, which also covered the break-up, however, it was extremely tilted in favour of Shardul Shroff. I feel that as a journalist covering such a sensitive subject, one needs to have balance and equity in reporting (unless of course you have an inherent prejudice or bias).

Needless to say, India Business Law Journal is in a class apart from many of its competitors in India. Hats off to you and your able team for this. It makes enjoyable reading every month.
