Mr. Shrikant Hathi (Managing Partner) is of the view that 'Under the current partnership provisions a law firm cannot have more than twenty partners and with such restriction in place it is prudent to expand the non-partners lawyers' team. This is a core resource that ultimately determines the success of a firm'. He further adds that 'The existing regulatory restrictions in India, do not allow foreign law firms to setup offices in India, should this rule be relaxed which is anticipated to happen in the at some stage in near future, LEX Nexus would definitely prefer to merge or venture with a foreign law firm in order to consolidate its international practice and out reach capabilities.'
With addition of its research office, LEX Nexus has also started ATI AVOCATS at Mumbai that will process overseas legal work (legal outsourcing) as an alternate revenue stream in the areas of legal research, reviewing and drafting of document, litigation support, due-diligence support, claim processing, mortgage processing and other areas where a legal professional is involved.
