Hello, I requested him for a telephonic discussion to understand what kind of services he is offering before subscribing to his plan. But, he replied (which appeared to be automated or may be AI driven) stating even to discuss with him, I need to pay for the plan first. Then I didn't find him convincing enough to take it forward.

The comparison itself is flawed, ▮▮▮. How do you compare AMS/Sibal and Salve/Mehta with her? ▮▮▮. I don't have any personal grudges for her or doubt her credentials based on her grad school, but that's how it looks. She joined the bandwagon at the right time and has made herself a somewhat recognisable face, which might help launch her own legal career, but that's all.

As far as Oxbridge or Ivy grads go, I am sure none of them is interested enough or has time at hand to join this pressure group, since CJP is focused only on an agitation-based dialogue and is a rather new outfit with no credible history. Well-read and informed individuals are likely to throw weight behind either Congress or BJP or stay completely out of it. Plus, a profession built on seniority and reputation, which takes years, if not decades, no one in their right mind will likely take a completely supportive stand on it, except some who are willing to splash their faces across new channels and revel in their short-lived fame.

All the information you have given here - it has been so easy to trace it back to you, specially if you have been extremely entitled to the seniors at SAM. Further, do not worry, we will make sure that you do not have to do an assessment with SAM. Good luck grinding that entitlement in the chambers of a senior.

▮▮▮ Deloitte ▮▮▮ M&A Tax Associate role. I’m a fresher with experience in PE/VC and M&A transactions, along with exposure to Banking & Finance, project finance and capital markets, but I have limited knowledge of tax.

Could anyone familiar with Deloitte’s M&A Tax practice advise me on what I should prepare, the technical areas I should focus on, and what I can expect in the interview? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Please🙏

Curious how many practising advocates here are actually using AI regularly, beyond the occasional ChatGPT query.

I've been building LawgicHub AI for the last two years, and we've spent a lot of that time working with Indian lawyers trying to understand what actually makes these tools useful in practice.

We've built legal research, drafting, document review, citation verification and case tracking into one workspace, with a free tier so advocates can properly try it without committing to another subscription.

But I'm curious about the broader experience here. Research seems like the obvious use case, except you still have to verify the authorities. Drafting saves time, but everyone has their own formats. And I'm not convinced lawyers necessarily want another platform to manage their matters.

For those who've tried Draft Bot Pro, Jhana, ChatGPT, LawgicHub or anything else, what are you actually using regularly?

And what's stopping you from using these tools more? Accuracy, quality of output, pricing, or just that they don't fit into how you already work?

I'd genuinely appreciate hearing from practising advocates, including anyone who's tried LawgicHub and found it lacking. I'm happy to answer questions about the product too.

I'm one of the founders of LawgicHub, so obviously not an unbiased commenter here.

We've been working on similar problems for Indian lawyers, particularly legal research, drafting and citation verification. One thing we've found is that getting a convincing-looking AI answer is relatively easy. Making sure the authorities actually exist and support the proposition is much harder.

We've tried to build around that, while keeping the product affordable for individual advocates. There's a free tier if anyone wants to compare the workflows themselves.

I'd genuinely be interested in hearing what people here find useful or unreliable in these tools, particularly for litigation work.

I have read the article by Gautam Mohanty and Gaurav Rai. I think the article skillfully highlights the difference between loss of profit and loss of profitability in the computation of damages. A reviewer is not supposed to check each and every citation. As long as the arguments are valid, there is logical flow, and there is a scholarly contribution, the article is fit for publication.

Speaking from experience, if the editors and reviewers do use AI to supplement their own efforts, then these type of matters can be easily flagged. Otherwise, very few peer reviewers will take the trouble of checking every footnote. After all, they don't get paid for their work.

Mishra has Sudhir by the balls. Sudhir sucked up to the BCI to make the dodgy (but successful) argument in the Karnataka HC that only NLSIU is a national law university because it was set up by the BCI and the CJI is Chancellor. With the BCI's blessings, Sudhir has expanded NLSIU and changed the character of the institution.

Luthra and Luthra Law Offices India is done. HC has no idea what to do. Seems disinterested in running the firm. Have heard rumblings he and his minions only likes doing cash deals. Not even bill it to the firm anymore. The equity partners do not see eye to eye anymore. Almost everyone nice who joined is out of the door or has put in their papers. This is the tragic death of the legacy of the legendary RKL. Blame HC.

Hi everyone. I am a 2nd-year student who is interested in competition law as a practice area. I am currently looking for any internship opportunities, whether with firms or independent practitioners, who would be open to taking on an incoming third-year student in May/June 2027. So far, I haven't been able to find anyone other than tier 1 firms, which seem far-fetched at this point in time.

Any leads wrt the aforementioned helps a lot. Thank you.

Hell no, it's all just fluff. I saw a post on LinkedIn saying that got services from him, and it had a lot of spelling mistakes ( even made spelling mistakes on the person's name). I also contacted him about a year ago, and he said he would give a free checklist for a resume. Once i did message him i got an automatic message stating Please give me your resume. I stupidly gave it, and then he quoted, " I’ve gone through it and here’s the honest truth (most students never hear this) Your CV isn’t weak because of your skills. It’s weak because it hides them." He then started quoting prices to help fix the resume

Ambani?

I have had the misfortune of reading 2 recent pieces published by NLSBLR and NLSIR, which have been cited hereunder. Neither had been actually peer-reviewed. The NLSBLR one was filled with assertions with absolutely unrelated citations. The NLSIR one quoted an entire paragraph of a judgment. When cross-checked against the given citation, it turned out not to appear in the actual text. Pathetic peer-review mechanisms. These two articles also show that the quality, too, has greatly decreased with the onslaught of AI assistance in legal scholarship.

What's with nlud faculty feeling proud is giving less marks ? That omg 15 out of 25 is my average and it is very high! Are other nlus also facing the same? They even harras the faculty who gives more marks because what if our answers are actually worth good marks and we like their classes and do even better?

How did this happen?!! More than 700 alumni protested against CJI and the BCI Chief Misra attending the NLS convocation and it got cancelled. Then the Governing Council and alumni association sat together. Now it appears that the Governing Council with Misras men on it have decided on the convo with both Misra and CJI. I cant wait to see the empty seats.

I am a fresh law graduate and have been working for the past 6–7 months at a small law firm, and honestly, I am so done.

The compensation is poor compared to the amount of work people put in here. The firm itself advertises X as the industry standard in the market but actually pays Y, which is significantly lower. On top of that, reimbursements don't come on time, and even salaries get delayed. I am trying to switch, but I haven't been able to do so.

While the seniors are supportive from a work perspective, some of them are just way too enthusiastic about work, to the point where they taunt you almost every single day over unnecessary things. For example, if you stay in the office longer than they do, they take pride in it, almost as if to say, "Look at me, you are trying to be like me." I don't even know how to explain this, but these things happen regularly.

I don't know if all this is normal in the legal profession. Maybe some of it is, but there are so many small things that, if I tried to write them all down, this post would become way too long.

I AM ALSO TRYING TO SWITCH, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO LUCK. I don't know what to do anymore. It seems like no better-tier firm is hiring right now, or at least I haven't been able to find an opportunity. I have been trying.

I feel depressed about my situation. And it is not about me believing that I am not built for this profession or this environment. I don't know what happened over the past year. I eventually landed this job, perhaps because the market wasn't in my favour, or perhaps because I lacked something. I genuinely don't know. But this firm is just way too frustrating to work at.

Most of them try to become bua every day and do the most unnecessary things. For example, there are limited subscriptions and user slots for certain tools, and instead of sharing access, they change the passwords for themselves and say they won't share them. I know these things might sound stupid or insignificant, but they add to the frustration when they happen regularly.

These little things, which might seem insignificant individually, are affecting everything.

I don't go to this place with even the slightest smile anymore. I know not everyone goes to the office smiling, but I have reached a point where I don't even feel like interacting with my team. The thing is, they seem to feel the same way about how things are here, whether it is compensation, exposure, or the way the administration handles things.

At least one thing should be stable when you are not paying people well: the salary should come on time. I am willing to work hard and put my ass on the line for work. I don't mind working long hours or putting in the effort. But the basic administrative issues, delayed payments, and all these stupid little things are killing my will to work.

I don't have any savings. I thought I would start saving early in my career, but the money isn't even enough to put anything aside. I feel stuck.

What makes it worse is that I have seen the trend at this firm. People seem to remain stuck here for at least three years before they manage to switch. Some have taken five years. I don't know whether it is because other firms don't rate this firm highly or because of some other reason, but the trend is worrying. Moving to a bigger firm seems to take a lot of time.

I am trying to find a way out, but I don't know how long this is going to take, and I don't know how long I can keep going like this.

I am not directly asking for a job. I genuinely want advice.

For those who have been in a similar situation early in their careers, what did you do? Do things eventually get better? Should I just keep working here while continuing to look for opportunities, even if it takes another year or two? How do you deal with a situation where you want to leave, are actively trying to leave, but just cannot seem to find a way out?

I am willing to work hard and learn. I just don't want these things to kill my motivation so early in my career.

Please help. Any genuine advice would be really appreciated.

So the context is that he had joined the TMC as its spokesman a few days before the Bengal election. After the election, the BJP people abused him. He is praising Rahul Gandhi for silently suffering similar trolling for 12 years but staying strong.

I saw a video from TraceYourCase (keeping aside all the other stuff she has done) today about law firm salaries.

She started with T1 A0 salaries being 18 to 24 lakhs per year. I have a few bones to pick with this.

As we’re all aware, it’s not a given that you’ll get your bonus in full every time. And even assumed 100% bonus, all T1 firms are at 20-21L right now.

Moreover, earlier TraceYourCase has said she switched to legaltech from a T1 firm (being JSA). Her pay at JSA would have been ~12-13LPA.

So not only is she inflating the amount people make in this career which can misguide/place unnecessary pressure on a lot of students, she is also insinuating her salary at a law firm was 2x what it really was…

I hate how this is the face of legal influencers tbh probably the worst person to have amassed a following

Who all are taking part? I feel like NLUs are missing in action for some reason, even though they were active during the first wave of protests: hunger strike at NALSAR, NLSIU boycotting CJI etc.

Why the lull?

Kapil Sibal is a much bigger name than Salve in the field of law. Sibal became a sr advocate in 1983 which is almost 10 years ealier than Salve's designation. Sibal was the first big name in Supreme Court who belonged to Delhi High Court. This in a way opened the path for other Delhi seniors.

Sibal was a minister from 2004-2014 and left a big void in the supreme Court. This was filled by Salve. So, Sibal's absence for a decade resulted in the meteoric rise of Salve.

Arnab Goswami's constant worshipping of Salve does not make Salve a bigger star.

As far as earnings are concerned, Sibal does a lot of pro bono matters while Salve is a pure mercenary. He only appears pro bono when the case gives him fame e.g. Kulbhushan Jadhav.

Sibal is also a much better chamber senior. He pays his juniors handsomely while Salve expects money in return from his juniors because they getting a chance to be his junior.

Usage within the firms is pretty inconsistent and therefore no one has taken onus to make a prompt bank. Firms which have a separate KM department comprising of lawyers may be entrusted in curating such prompt bank. But even then onus will be on the user to go through the prompt bank and use the same.

Ratna is hardly the answer you want when the Congress has AMS-Sibal, BJP has Salve-Tushar, even the TMC has Menaka.

Why isn't the CJP tapping A-list Gen Z NLU talent? Ratna is a GGSIP grad who's mostly worked for LawBeat, Bar & Bench and Scroll. Just a few months of legal practice. Hardly matches up?

Why not Oxbridge/Ivy grads from NLUs?

I had interned at JSA'S BLR office a couple of months ago. However, I have not heard back for a call back so far. Can anyone please tell me what the process is regarding callbacks/feedback? Do associates give feedback regarding our work and timesheet? I was also asked to do couple of tasks from other teams of other practice areas which did not go well. Could that be an issue? Someone who has clarity as to how things work there, please help.

How’s LKS Hyderabad in general? I have an Associate opportunity with the General Corporate team and wanted to get a sense of what I should expect in terms of the kind of work and deals, team culture, compensation, and overall work environment.

Also, is there anything I should be mindful of before joining? And if you have any tips or insights for the interview, I’d really appreciate them.

Ahmedabad vs Doha, Seoul, Istanbul, Budapest, Munich and Cape Town. 🤯

These countries win more medals and have a stronger sporting culture. Also advanced countries: clean, safe, peaceful. No chhapris and dehaats pissing on the roads or harassing women.

Will be a miracle if we get it. And could backfire either way for Modi. If we lose, Raga and CJP will gloat. If we win, they will try to politicise small flaws and try to embarrass us.

Just do a course from Udemy and learn accounting. CA is a full time course, and in my view more hectic than any job at tier-two/three firms. Plus, the returns from doing CA are not well. Best to just do some self-paced course and be at peace at it. Otherwise, consider doing a CS, but it will not help you with accounts.

I am a 4 year PQE lawyer practicing in Delhi, presently associated with a boutique disputes law firm.

While I started off with the idea of working very hard and making it big, I have started to feel exhausted lately.

I am either in office or sleeping at my home. Nothing else - no outings, clubbing or anything. While I still work hard to make it big someday, I wonder if the grind will be worth it.

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts
