The team does decent work. Nothing very high level. Nothing very complicated and if the juniors are not able to keep up that means their quality is truly questionable
The team is actually a brilliant place to learn. If you're willing to put in hours and use your mind on some days at least
Gen Z dreams about life and law firm realities will always clash and you always know what prevails
More like a fantasy story, but if it ever happens it would be fun to watch the drama.
Do you see the AG taking notes in every hearing? TM? How about ASM? The issue about KS not being there while the other side is arguing is a sad story telling of the traditional Indian senior's practice -- which GSN etc. are changing, sure.
He does not read, yes... I don't know what prep he does the morning of, but he is an effective lawyer; has been since before most of us were born. You talk of 370, ED, Umar Khalid, or the SIR cases as if his arguments will change anything. As anyone who's read the Umar Khalid judgment will know, most of these judgments on contentious political issues are bereft of legal reasoning. The SC has been politicised and at this point, KS, AMS are the only ones from the old bastion whose voices cannot be silenced by the Bench... for now.
Moving to in-house part- here is the tricky thing. Moving to in-house is possible if you are doing EVERYTHING in IP. As in Prosecution + litigation + contracts + transaction and now they want someone who is also aware of IT compliances. It is difficult to find a team which does everything since law firms are based on the model of specialisations. That said, there are positions solely for prosecution, but they are very limited. and prosecution is a very very routine work.
Remuneration part - No, partners are involved only for IP compliance part. that is not an integeral part of any deal. Relax kid.

I’m a litigation lawyer, worked with a couple of brilliant seniors and now have my own practice for a while. A part of me has always wondered how life is for you guys at firms so would love to know things which I may (or may not) be missing out on (apart from the obvious, a stable income).
Leverage your T1 internships, esp if it's in disputes team.
The real reason the TMC wins is because of freebies and doles to the poor, that’s it. Same as the BJP in MP. Nothing to do with Bangladeshis and Rohingyas.
