The legal firm which offers comprehensive legal services calls the claims of an alleged incident involving their Equity Partner and National Head of its Competition Law Practice, Nisha reportedly slapping an associate during a heated disagreement in the office as “malicious rumors.”

Some messages/claims circulated on online platforms even suggested that the law firm was attempting to suppress the heated disagreement incident.
Further to complicate the matter, a headline of a media report implied that the firm was engaged in damage control and later compensated the Associate with a 6-figure bonus following this alleged incident.
After learning about the aforementioned report, the Legal firm took to LinkedIn and denied the allegations of offering hush money to their junior associate involved in the incident.
The statement of the Trilegal reads “The firm firmly refutes these baseless rumors and stands united against them. There has been no formal or informal complaint regarding such an incident.
“No unauthorized payments were made to any associate for any purpose. These claims are entirely false, and the firm is pursuing legal avenues to address them. We are committed to seeing this process through until our innocence is proven.”
