RECRUITMENT COMMUNICATION FOR THE GRADUATING BATCHES OF 2021, 2022, AND 2023
Vi s i o n
In the 21st century, time is at a premium; competence is said to be a commodity;
and loyalty is for sale. We accept none of that.
Organisations and systems make time manageable.
Excellence is rare, it cannot be equated with competence.
We have seen the legal profession grow and change with growth.
We believe that growth cannot be at the cost of excellence.
To the contrary, growth must foster excellence. We will not be part of any system
where values or quality may be impaired in the rush to get the deal done.
We have come together based on immutable principles of truth, ethics, and
excellence.
We will not compromise.
Growth will be driven by these principles. We will select the right people, groom
them, invest in them. We will not just invest money.
We will invest our time and our commitment. Some will fall by the way, as they
must, but a few will make the grade. Those who share our values and our vision
will be partners. They will be lawyers who will succeed in any jurisdiction.
Within ourselves we have the capabilities of a full service law firm.
We will grow our capabilities to better serve our clients.
We are proud of every member of our Firm, be they professionals, fee earners, or
support staff. Each is a flag bearer. We are committed to going forward and each
constituent of our Firm is proud to belong to the law firm that delivers excellent
value to its clients and enriches the profession.The Premise
The world economy is evolving and the legal industry is playing catch-up, leading to the opening up of new
vistas for lawyers with a multitude of career options to choose from. The practice of law has been made into a
business.
We think and act differently at Bharucha & Partners. We have always believed that a lawyer is a counsellor and
an officer of the court. We train our people to practice law as it should and must be practised.
We believe that quality inheres in a person, not in their background.
We want people who want to be holistic lawyers, driven by the passion for law, and guided by the ethics of the
profession.
We want people who stay ahead of the curve by developing exceptional expertise, embracing technology, and
working on evolving areas of law.
We want people who love the law for its challenges, and understand that quality can never be compromised.
We are one organisation: whatever be the location, you will have access to the same level of mentorship.
In this brochure we provide a perspective on the Firm, on what we offer and what we expect – to
help you make an informed choice about your career with us.B&P in numbers
