Our Partner, Suhail Nathani shares his insight in Mint, “Lawyers see bigger raises as law firms defy India Inc pay slowdown.”
He highlights that at Economic Laws Practice (ELP), increments in 2026 were at 12-22%, depending on seniority and performance. The firm saw growth in hospitality, litigation, labour, real estate and mergers and acquisitions. These areas are expected to remain active from a hiring perspective over the coming year. We did a benchmark study and scaled up salary grids across levels the previous year.
