Set around the guns for hire at a fictional Bombay law firm, Kill the Lawyers renders a hilarious account of Big Law-the industry term for large, full-service corporate law firms.

It debuts Edamarra Edwin, an irreverent junior partner who frolics with the law while helping friends and clients through their direst straits. In nine droll stories, Edwin wiles out victory from the most hopeless situations with a little help from his spunky young associate and an old Bombay 'operator'. In their wandering timeline these stories chart the arc of Edwin's astonishing rise in life.

Shishir Vayttaden's long experience as a corporate lawyer gives authenticity to this work of pure fiction, and his skill as a storyteller makes it both deeply engaging and immensely amusing.

My Opinion

Kill the Lawyers by Shishir Vayttaden is an intelligent and delicious work of crime fiction with a legal twist. The plot is a slow burn, going deeper and deeper with every page. The language of the book is certainly not for beginners. And it will be exciting for readers who like to read legal fiction, as the plot is totally based on lawyers and their tactics. Our lawyer, Edwin, helps its customers navigate their corporate boat amidst all the legal procedures and regulations. The author, himself an eminent lawyer, has given a nice touch to the twists. Edwin's character was the most dominant, with his witty and smart attitude. Some of the parts are really mind-blowing and are definitely going to leave your mouth gaping.

 

While reading the book, I felt that I was reliving those student days of mine. Corporate law was always the hardest one, as all the sections should be on your tips. It was really fun reading it. The author has used many legal and corporate terms, which makes the book niche. So, it is not just a crime fiction but a legal fiction showing us how lawyers can help a business strive and flourish.
