The COVID-19 pandemic has forced upon the Indian legal market some paradigm shifts. The country’s strongest law firms are being compelled to re-evaluate their commercial strategies, not just to position themselves to win larger slices of the pie but also to consider the sustainability of their business models.

One of the most significant alterations to the landscape happened years ago in 2016 when legacy Amarchand Mangaldas Cyril A. Shroff & Co., one of India’s oldest and most prominent law firms, split into two, creating separate legal powerhouses led by the two Shroff brothers, Cyril and Shardul Shroff, who are grandsons of the founders of Amarchand Mangaldas.
