Zia Mody, 53, Sr. Partner, AZB & Partners
Once again in the BT Power List. Does it still enthuse you?
It does. It is good to be continually recognised and fills you with a sense of responsibility.
Your definition of power has it changed over the years?
Yes, to some extent. Today, meaningful facilitation between various stakeholders and constituents is much more satisfying than simply negotiating or winning a point or two in a draft or transaction.
New lessons learnt in 2009.
One must continue to be extra cautious while analysing and interpreting government policy to anticipate litigation in a transaction... and to start understanding different regulatory systems over the world.
New frontiers conquered in 2009.
I was appointed as one of the vice presidents in the London Court of International Arbitration and our firm opened offices in Chennai and Hyderabad.
