You have no idea, so stop speculating. You dont know the bad blood between MS and ML. MS sued ML when ML left Luthra and he was the one who kept pushing the case, so doubt they will make up. Also ML is doing pretty well for himself seperately.
Agree between the Dr. Kheinkor and Dr. Monika, Dr. Kheinkor is better for Public International Law/IHL etc. Dr. Monika for trade law.
its even worse in the legal fraternity. you should see the recent tax (ITR rankings). absolutely laughable.
That's the case with most t1 blore offices, dominated by Christ and random local colleges
Shop from Myntra. They have pretty good stuff. The key thing is to get right size & fit
Which Tier 1? I'm in the same boat. Have they gotten back to you?
Same question have one month internship there and I graduate in 2026. NLU student.
What happened ?? Is there chances of PPO after one month of internship at Indus and her team ? And also how is the work ?
can we have some cue on who the partner is? not the name, but maybe the practice area and firm/loc. Desperately want such a partner.
never denied they aren't. But billing money is not a fresher's concern. An associate would be paid at par across practice areas- it is the nature of work that matters at that level
A0 planning to lateral next year at the end of FY, practice M&A, GC, PE/VC - what to prepare, what to put on CV for interviews, SAs/ Counsels/ Partners from T1s/T2 lmk what to expect, please thanks!
MS hiring ML? Given ML is looking for his lost power, a smaller place might be on his cards! xD
I understand that. But what does dress smart mean? My internship outfits have just been a handed down blazer and the same set of white shirts, I would prefer dressing a bit better than that
Mihir is not only an excellent lawyer, but also an excellent person. I have no seen many lawyers, who catch the relevant points as fast as him.
NLU Odisha does not have LLM in Maritime Law. GMU is your only best bet in India as there are no major universities which would have such a course.
Capital markets partner with his whole team left this year too. Murtaza had done the same last year!
I am sure Mathew will need you in Indus. Talk to him after the dust has settled.
Something to be ideally negotiated while joining the firm/ chamber. Some firms/ chambers do allow you to bring such matters along while some have a bar, comes down to personal choice of the person hiring.
this age is uncertain, dont lose hope, dont let an opportunity go, keep believing in urself
Its ok guys. Changes keep happening every now and then in law firms
Cold email partners in law firms. Personalize it by adding something about their work. Less than 2% will reply but you have nothing to lose. Sometimes it works out. You can offer to intern (assessment internship) as well.
We will hire a new partner and set up a new Cap Marks team in Mumbai. Don't worry, kiddo!
I will make you work so hard that you will not get the time to take up independent matters.
Arjun Natarajan's juniors do their own matters. If you ask him to guide he will guide otherwise he does not interfere.
senior advocates/partners etc. who usually fund moot teams? (alr reached out to mr datar)
So the last trip to Goa was scandalous and law enforcement might have been involved but it was handled. So to avoid and high-fi situations Abu Dhabi was planned for this year
Is hostel authority is dumb that they don't know if something is original or not or they know everything and taking part in this
My senior allows me to work in matters which i have independently, but he pays me a lesser stipend now than before. A good tradeoff
▮▮▮ here don't want to talk about litigation, pura din cam sam spam, that's all they can do
I want to intern in lajpat nagar/def col (delhi) in dec. preferably tier 2-3 law firms because i actually want to learn. fields- IP and Gen Corp. any recommendations?
More than sector wise, it more matter-wise. I have seen disputes lawyer travel for arbitration hearings, competition/cap marks lawyers travel for client meetings (usually with multi-national clients). A lot also depends on the Partner and the client.
No one is going to let you travel. Relax. Get that notion out of your head.
Because Partners Leading the teams are minting money like hell. For CAM Regional Heads are making 5 to 7 Crores. Similarly JSA, Trilegal and KCO EPs are making 6-8 Crores. Even Link Legal, CB, B&P Lead Partners are making 3 to 6 Crores.
Lol what are you on about, local colleges dominate in bangalore and mumbai office
Bump. I have a PPO from the cap marks team in Mumbai. Now the entire team is gone, where will I join?
MS ▮▮▮.
Mathhews is leaving with his books, ▮▮▮. Mathhews is a loss for the firm. VK and BJ are the ends of the ship. ▮▮▮. Not that it is doing great even now. The increments are quite pathetic only.
The managing partner had a full blown dispute with Matthews and his team, as he flatly refused any bonus to the team.

Don't know if the cap marks team received their bonuses or not but it was in very poor taste by Saraf
▮▮▮ from ▮▮▮, 2 ppos out of nowhere, is heading, probably the best centre in colleges in the country with respect to the amount of competitions and internships he’s providing, has got an amazing CV with moots, adrs and around 25 publications in reputed blogs and journals.
Either a total lie, or written by ▮▮▮ himself, or both (though I can't really understand why he'd ever read anything on this absolutely irrelevant forum).
Check The Torture Report on Amazon Prime. I hope it is still there. Great movie. Connects kinda with skullduggery alleged here but also the LI Mod redactions.
As an A2/ A3 in which practice area does one get to travel outside of India? Please don't preach how this should not be an incentive to switch, I am simply curious.
As a woman you can literally wear anything, no one cares. Have seen people coming in with summer dresses mini shorts

As a man, oh well...
Albin Thomas and Brajendu Bhaskar - Trilegal. Really chill and flexible.
They just want to keep more in their pockets. Same story everywhere.
War chest over. Paisa finiss ...

Million dollar deals requiring the mps involvement gone!!

Phuss!!
Matthews and Akshay Jain left the firm.

And few people were earlied fired. What is happening?
For example, On sneakers cost must more than Hush Puppies. So ok to wear them? Will it be seen as trendy and fashionable?
Hi!

Would love if someone could elaborate on the scope of Aviation law in India or maybe even abroad.....does one necessarily require an LLM to enter into the sector?
SA1 at CAM. Fixed 33 and 25% bonus + MPD

These are best numbers at SA1 level at CAM
Thanks for the information. I am looking along the lines of Use of force, Self-defense, IHRL, IHL and ICL.
I am a fresher with few months of experience in Real Estate team of a decent law firm. I am planning to join RE/ Employment Law team of any law firm with decent pay. My biggest preference is the team should be cooperative, workable and non- toxic.
Has always been the doyen of glorified clerks, and a useless area, which has no respect.
1. It's "

exposé", not "expose". The e is typed with the french 'Acute' accen). On windows, it can be typed by opening word, CTRL + apostrophe and then typing E.

2. Huge shame LI redacted so much. Totally messed up the post.
Which firms are still hiring for the batch of 2026, or are generally known to hire fifth year kids?
Will you pay for this person to have a basic living standard?
We need a Kalshi/Polymarket here on Legally India for betting on such topics
Managed to secure an internship at JSA Gurgaon for March, batch of 2026 and want a PPO or an assessment. Please suggest the teams to focus and how to do it? Last shot I have at Tier -1
Is Snr Adv Ramji Srinivasan or Snr Adv Abhijeet Sinha who is better for making a appearance in NCLAT Chairperson Court ?????
Have you ever seen a batch that lists down "upcoming internships" in a brochure? That's the beauty of this batch.
So one more corporate equity partner gone. S&R seems to be going back to becoming a capital markets boutique firm.
Even they (especially they) are awake half the night. This is an extraordinarily ill-informed take. Read Elon Musk's biography by Walter Isaacson for reference.
Why will you be replaced, doesn't Trilegal have a lot of mandates for capital markets right now, atleast according to the Bar and Bench IPO report
Are you that limitation lawyer in a new avatar, to avoid getting
