Dear Editor,
I perused the feature titled Calling the shots in your December/January issue and I found it to be most interesting and succinct, reflecting the realities in India today.
Most relevant is the trend towards the secondment of law firm personnel to client enterprises, which is gaining ground and further integrating the warp and weft between in-house counsel and law firms. Further, the feature highlights the metamorphosis in-house counsel have undergone as they have risen to become key decision makers, rather than mere postmen who pass on matters as per the mandates of their CEOs, especially in family owned and run companies.
It has always been my view that an in-house counsel with requisite exposure and experience in business has a superior overview of a proposed transaction or dispute and should not look at a law firm in the way an inebriated man looks at a lamppost (i.e. for support rather than illumination).
