Trilegal: India's Law Firm Disruptor
26 Aug
Summary
- Trilegal's ownership model challenged traditional family-run law firms.
- Foreign law firms have largely avoided the Indian legal market.
- AI may reshape billing, reduce associate teams, and impact future partner experience.

Trilegal has transformed from an outsider to one of India's largest law firms. Partners Nishant Parikh and Sridhar Gorthi detailed how the firm's ownership structure disrupted long-standing family-run legal practices.
They also noted that many international law firms have refrained from entering the Indian legal landscape. The discussion extended to the future of legal practice, particularly the influence of AI.
Artificial intelligence is predicted to significantly impact billing methods, potentially leading to smaller teams of associates. This shift could also alter the path to partnership, affecting the experience lawyers gain in their early careers.
