Speaking to India Business Law Journal about his decision to move, Verma said: “Yeh dil maange more (the heart wants more). There was a lot of untapped potential and bandwidth due to our boutique setup [at DGS]. In comparison, Link Legal is in expansion mode, strengthening its corporate practice. We already have some very strong and acknowledged verticals and we strive to be a full-service law firm by growing at a steady pace.”
“We had a great stint at DGS,” Gaur told India Business Law Journal. “It is indeed a great opportunity to work with an esteemed and growing firm like Link legal India Law Services. I am really excited and looking forward to growing with the firm.”
