From its beginnings in basements and living rooms 25 years ago to nearly 150 partners and over 1,200 lawyers today, Trilegal’s ascent to the top tier of Indian corporate law makes for a remarkable story. In 2025, it is not just one of India’s largest and most prestigious law firms but also arguably its most meritocratic. Conceived on a radical partnership model in which all partners own equity in the firm, Trilegal is also the only major Indian law firm operating on this sharing model – a decision that defines its culture and fuels its success.
