Strangely, it's still called the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!

Salaries in IPR are abysmal. The only firm which pays sort of decent money is Khaitan.
Raj and his protocol officer (Mishraji)....please focus more on college? Merely posting on LinkedIn on how fantastic jiggles is or living in your bubble of calling some bigshots and feeling like "meine kya college banaya hai" won’t help no? For this, Raj, you must stay more in college than travel the world
Any updates on results? When will it be declared?
On Axon - I know what unitary theory is but you were not making the same point. Your argument on Article II was like Slater v Trump which dealt with the administrative side of FTC (FTC prosecutors have to be accountable to the executive - the unitary theory you speak of). Axon addressed it to some extent but the underlying challenge related primarily to FTC’s judicial side fairness (particularly the fact that FTC commissioners are the prosecutors, judges and appellate authorities in an ALJ setting - read the judgment along with Para 31 bullet 1 of the complaint). This has nothing to do with the unitary theory (though that was also one of the secondary arguments raised).
On constitutional mandate - the CCI didn’t say they won’t take suo moto matters at all. They just said they’ll be judicious on when to intervene. The parental legislation you refer to also vested a large amount of discretion on the Commissioners in exercising their powers. “may” rather than “shall” in Section 19 says it all. As I’m sure yk there’s no minimum annual suo moto investigations requirement anyways. So I really don’t see a problem with the regulator deciding that yk what, maybe I’ll proactively learn from all the fair play criticisms against me while also taking a cue from my international counterparts.
On state enforcement - you clearly took the effort on all other aspects. Would appreciate if you could clarify what you meant because I really don’t see a point here.
I like Menaka but damn is this sort of identitarian politics actually useless.
As for work life balance, if you want to run a marquee practice like financial regulatory or cap marks or GC, you should let go of that expectation since the client is extremely important.
Arrogance has caused the downfall of many institutions.
Introspection, realisation of harsh reality and suitable corrective measures help save the downward spiral.
How is bonus calculated?
What are the bands for different ratings (1-4)?
It would be great if someone can shed some light, I’m sure a lot of us will benefit from this.
For different firms, please indicate name of firm and how salary structure works from A0 level to upwards as they progress.
You'll at least rack in some work-ex
It'll help you more when the opportunity opens up for some non-lit vacancy
Don't worry about the backlash anon, sensitive people will continue to complain and downvote you.
- He was targeted by racists because he is black
- He is genuinely a brilliant scholar
- The allegations of language copying and falsification of research data are exaggerated
- The allegation that he lied about his life when he said he ran 30 marathons in 30 days with a broken leg, and various other claims, are not relevant: only issues related to his academic work are relevant
- Again, the allegation that he targeted a journalist investigating him through the police and a law firm are outside the ambit of academia and not relevant
- Due regard should be given to the fact that he has autism
His opponents say:
- He should not have been made a professor at 37. Merit was ignored at the expense of DEI
- Non-black academics with better research records and publications were ignored
- His research has no rigour and is full of woke buzzwords
- The plagiarism charges are serious.
- The statements made by him about running marathons are proven lies which should be taken seriously because a professor should behave ethically
- involving the police against the journalist was harassment

Should one now, laugh/cry to this great learned, wise & intellectual, legend of an anecdote.
Speaking on her exit, CAM Managing Partner Cyril Shroff said,
“She has spent most of her career with the firm. Given her seniority, she wants to explore the natural progression of being an independent arbitration practitioner and arbitrator. We are very supportive of her decision and see it as a logical step as an arbitration practitioner. We wish her all success.“
Then NLS has AAD that does a lot of heavy lifting- someone who went to a uni without such department told how much extra they had to give because no auch dept was present at their place.
Just a bunch of jokers !
I wanted to know when will CAM send out official email confirmations from their end or offer letters?
Also do we have to do a mandatory internship or will we be directly posted as an A0?
Any insights shall be appreciated!
If this is too much, see reel :)
Id also caution you that privacy is just the flavour of the season, like insolvency was all the rage in 2016. Even at peak flavour season, you can't make a decent target on Tech/Privacy in a law firm and will have to do some GC/M&A/FSRP. Try to do the things that traditionally pay the most, being GC/PE/M&A. Or do something that's not as high paying but perpetually on and in demand like debt, or funds.
Khaitan, argus or aquilaw
Will aquilaw still be as relevant as it was under TMC regime , like if one wants to make name.
They have some connections in Calcutta HC as well
Pay wise as well ,

From my personal experience almost everyone knows about "Bangalore law school" "Hyderabad law school" "Kolkata law school" and "Dwarka law school" in Delhi High court and supreme court
Also wanna talk about Vac schemes ?
But also, your knowledge of history is equally poor, which is quite surprising. Look at Russia in the immediate post-Soviet years - before the advent of Vladimir Putin. They operated on the model you described. See how it went. Russia wouldn't be fucked up like it is now if it weren't for that kind of thing.
The only con is that this team, much like the larger team it's part of, has clients who are 'sharks' and you won't possibly cut it in the team if you're not a trailblazer and a 'shark' like the EP this team reports to. So ya, non-sharks please excuse. Only tier A intellects with superb communication skills can survive in this team.

In 2018, Seth was accused of sexual harassment by over 20 women that included model Diandra Soares,[32] filmmaker Natashja Rathore, and writer Ira Trivedi, in a social media backlash referred to as India's MeToo movement. This led to Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group, terminating Seth as its brand consultant.[33][34][35]
This followed beverage maker Coca-Cola's public release that its long-standing association with Seth and his company, Counselage, stands dissolved. "He is not a consultant for the board or company presently", the statement said, adding that it took this step in the wake of ongoing allegations against Suhel in the #MeToo movement.[36]
Post Coca-Cola, Adani Group too reportedly terminated Suhel's contract as branding consultant. The group stated the contract that had ended in September 2018 shall not be renewed. "Mr Suhel Seth was consulted for a short-term project which expired in September 2018. He is no longer associated with the Adani Group.", it said on Twitter.[37] Two other Indian conglomerates, Mahindra Group and JSW Group, followed suit claiming not to be associated with Seth on any project.[38]
Grokipedia:
In October 2018, amid the #MeToo movement in India, Suhel Seth, managing partner of the consulting firm Counselage India, faced multiple public allegations of sexual misconduct from at least six women, including claims of forcible kissing, groping, and assaultspanning incidents from 2009 to 2017.[4][6] The accusations surfaced primarily on social media platforms like Twitter, with women detailing encounters at parties, professional meetings, and private settings.[66]Key accusers included model Diandra Soares, who alleged Seth forcibly kissed her at a New Delhi party, attempting to insert his tongueinto her mouth, prompting her to bite him in resistance; filmmaker Natashja Rathore, who claimed he threw himself at her, kissed her against her will, and grabbed her breast; and journalist Mandakini Gehlot, who described an unwanted tongue kiss during a hug.[4]Writer Ira Trivedi and others, including a creative producer who accused him of luring her to his home under false pretenses before forcing himself on her, contributed further accounts of harassment and power abuse.[4][66] Additional claims involved indecent messages and molestation, with one accuser estimating Seth's pattern could implicate over 1,000 women based on his social circles.[6][66]Seth issued no public denial or response to the allegations, maintaining silence by ceasing social media activity after October 10, 2018, and not replying to media inquiries, including emails and calls from outlets like Scroll.in.[6] The claims prompted immediate professional fallout, with the Tata Group announcing on October 29, 2018, the termination of Seth's consultancy contract following an internal review, citing the seriousness of the accusations.[4][67] Other corporate clients, including those associated with Counselage India, faced public pressure to sever ties, though no criminal charges or formal investigations were reported as outcomes of these allegations.[66]

these are the supposed tier 1’ of ipr in my knowledge, if there are others please lmk thanks
1. 1. Push yourself to become a better intern. “Better” will, naturally, remain undefined. Merely working hard is not going to necessarily cut it, but is an important prerequisite nonetheless.
2. 2. Maintain hobbies, preferably ones that demonstrate personality without interfering with billable hours.
3. 3. Be honest about your faults - but exercise judgment as to which faults you disclose.
4. 4. Be born into the Shroff family. Early career planning is important.
5. 5. Marry into the Adani family. Networking and work ethic must, after all, go hand in hand.
6.
Also, excellent work by GNLU. This is currently among the best podcast initiatives by any law school, and the student hosts are intelligent, articulate and very well chosen. W
