I think US lawyers specialize along this appeals/trials line and there isn't really a prestige difference you could be a damned good trial attorney and wouldn't be passed on in favor of an appeals lawyer but that could be due to their presence of juries at the trial level

I interned there before. I was told that it was set up when CJ Menon was still managing partner at R&T, and it was supposed to be like the US kind of exclusive appellate advocacy. but CJ left shortly after it was formed and lets just say it didnt become what it was supposed to be. they do general commercial liti work and also advisory work for banks. nth glamorous. in fact, compared to the Com Lit dept, they probably go to the SGCA less frequently.
