A thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation on ambition, institution-building, leadership and the courage to take calculated but bold decisions for the long term.
Our Founder & Managing Partner and Co-Chair, Corporate Law Committee, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), Mohit Saraf, recently joined Nitin Potdar, (ex Senior Partner, JSA) on ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐
๐๐๐โ ๐ฌ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ for a candid conversation about his journey through nearly three decades at the forefront of the Indian legal profession โ and, more importantly, the vision that led him to establish Saraf and Partners.
At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ.
Mr. Saraf speaks about the ambition behind Saraf and Partners โ to build an independent, professionally managed institution, bringing together outstanding lawyers and practices under one platform while retaining the entrepreneurial spirit, ownership and excellence that make great lawyers successful.
The discussion also explores an increasingly important question for the Indian legal market:

As the profession evolves, Mr. Saraf sees an interesting opportunity for ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก-๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ฌ โ creating greater scale, deeper capabilities and stronger client offerings, while giving boutique founders and their teams the opportunity to participate in building something significantly larger.
Done thoughtfully, consolidation need not mean losing identity or entrepreneurship. It can mean multiplying their impact.
The conversation goes beyond growth and mergers, exploring the realities of building a law firm, the balance between independence and scale, leadership and succession, and what young lawyers should look for in a firm.
Ultimately, it raises a larger question for the profession:

A conversation worth reflecting on, whether you are a senior lawyer, a boutique founder considering the next stage of growth, or a young lawyer starting out.
