I interned there for a month. I think if you are keen towards litigation then this firm is nice. But if you want to go for corporate or ipr, the. You should not apply here.

People are okay here.

Office is so so.

Pay is not more than 25k for 3 years experience.

They don't pay interns until i interned in 2024 August.

As a beneficiary, I can vouch that there are chambers paying in the range mentioned. Not enough in number but certainly if one looks deeper and is ready to work for it, you have such chambers here.
So far as "doing everything", from what I have learnt from Delhi circles, the condition is better, since in Delhi circles you are paid on similar lines and you do "everything". However, not everyone in Delhi permits you to take personal work while remaining associated with the office. In contrast, in Allahabad, with higher pay you are required to justify it by being diligent in drafting, arguments and dealing with clients, but at the same time I haven't come across a single chamber refusing its juniors to take personal matters.

Think of B.com graduates prior to the Big4 coming to India. They used to work for Lala firms as accountants and get meagre salaries.

Once foreign accountancy firms came in the entire market changed. Until a market is monopolised by Indian forces which work on the mentality of exploitation, it can never prosper for the workers, only for the employers.

Having read the A.K Balaji judgement and the Advocates Act, I have come to the conclusion that the Act has to be amended for foreign firms to be allowed to- no way around it.

As I understood the Modi government is for that. How do we as lawyers reach out to the BCI to expedite this process? The Delhi high court writ will also be rendered infructious once the act is amended.

Genuinely looking for answers. Corp lawyers as a group are very complacent. Let’s do something about our own futures please.

Which is harder? Working at a T1 law firm in a metro city or starting a business in my t2 hometown where I have my base. Which career is, statistically, more likely to help me make more money in 10 years down the line? Being a partner at a T1 lawfirm or doing business in my hometown for 10 years.

I am sure your experience of appearing for the SEBI exam will be beneficial and your profile may get shortlisted for cap marks. Depends on how you present your profile. I would highly recommend you to at least try and email all the firms regardless of their Tier. Email all the partners directly, you will find most of their email IDS on law firm websites. Once this task is done, move to reaching out to Chambers. You never know what clicks. Explore all options, I am sure something will work out for you. All the best

Do we have any approachable faculty members in NLUs-esp NLS Bangalore, NLU Delhi, NLU Jodhpur and NALSAR- the ones who wont sound condescending when connecting regarding student welfare, guidance and mentorship policies? Trying to workout a mentorship group for a project. Any good leads on top private universities with strong mentor-mentee system will also be helpful.

so your argument has shifted from the NLS faculty "are not publishing or doing anything scholarly" to they are not doing enough. Now that's a different argument altogether. But then you also say that they are doing more funded projects, which seems to be further undercutting your own argument that they are doing nothing.

it seems to be quite reasonable that when they do more funded projects, they will have less time to publish?

Till now I had applied to many firms but none replied. But now I'm in my final year with all litigation internships and now I'm getting calls from good T2/T3 and boutiques.

So is it normal or I just improved my application in final year, did I miss anything by not interning earlier ?

No wonder, BCI wants to do mandatory criminal background checks in law colleges.

Karnataka language militancy a sign of losing dominance—Tamil, English, now Hindi rule streets

I recently finished my 5-year law degree from an average college affiliated with Mumbai University (no placement support). My interest is in General Corporate and M&A, and I interned at ELP, LKS, and a few other places during college, but I couldn't get a PPO. After graduating, I applied to several Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms for assessment and traineeships but didn’t get through.

Now, I’ve started as a trainee at a boutique law firm in their corporate advisory team (earning 15k/month), but I want to move to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 law firm. What can be my roadmap?

I’m ready to work hard, I know it sounds cliche, but I really mean it.

I know one partner who had love affair with a student in my college and that was kept a clandestinely. I've seen them partners doing several things in the vacant room at the evening during a certain time period. Partner's firm was also sponsors in the event in which the student was a committee member, so there was a lot of tea to spill, but I'll cut them some slack.

Answer to OP: very common and works for both genders. I know a girl who was fat-shamed in college and given cruel nicknames by senior boys like hippo, elephant etc. This girl went on to get top grades and become a very successful lawyer (although with some family backing). She ended up marrying one of the handsomest juniors! And why not? Why should only guys call dibs on attractive girls?

I know a law firm owner in Delhi who ended up marrying the associate he interviewed 😅… But the age gap wasn’t so much, because it was actually his dad’s firm and he became co-owner at a young age.

But let’s not be catty about such things. The fact is that rich guys and nepo kids can marry and date whoever they want. Happens all over the world. People criticising are merely jealous that they don’t have the same wealth and social position as them! Else they too would have followed the same trajectory: LLB from GLC or Jindal; then LLM from NY or London; then join dad’s practice; then date and marry a stunner!

Dating --- not so common.

One-night stands --- extremely common and with some people even the norm.

Welcome to capitalism, where morals don't count for anything. When females are valued purely for their looks and where the female body is seen as a form of currency.

Recently I was working in a t-1 firm.

Today I did my first therapy session. I have few things to share and say regarding that experience. That I have been officially diagnosed with depression due to trauma that I have went during my working tenure with firm no

This post is for all the SA and PA working in t-1. thank you for giving me such a traumatic experience. That I have to go through therapy .

From the bottom of my heart I have one wish that time and destiny bless you with the same trauma in future.

Hello everyone. I am non-law student. I was lurking at a subreddit which asked the highest salary in india. One of the comments mentioned a friend earing 10 crores POST tax at a law firm as an equity parter. I was shocked. I just want to confirm whether the parters actually earn that much? If yes what percent of A0 become equity partners?

OP here.....here comes another one. NLUD withdraws its BCom.LLB (H) program. This reeks of shoddy planning and shoddier execution by the admin. The level of incompetence is an eye-opener.

Philosophical answers aside what does a good college experience feel like. The college which I am studying is mediocre or below average in everything ranging from infra to classes to acquaintances, with only plus point being the cost (state subsidized).

I will finish my degree by 2 years. Before entering the job market , atleast once in my life I wish to experience a great college life where I can learn, study properly, get involved in various extracurriculars (without politics), be with a great crowd, and if possible get some placements.

Hence, please suggest me some good colleges for an LLM or BCL , India or Abroad.

Note: If my criterion seems too much, I humbly apologize to all

What a weird take to this horrible tragedy. How will a new admin prevent an accidental death like this? The kid was intoxicated and suffered a mishap and you're trying to politicise this instead of holding his peers accountable. They were there in the room with him. In a different state from where he studied.

I'm reaching out for guidance on my current career dilemma. I work at a boutique law firm in Mumbai, specializing in technology and data protection. While the firm has some good client base and offers decent learning opportunities, the compensation is below par.

Coming from a middle-class family, sustaining myself in Mumbai is challenging. I'm torn between switching jobs for better financial prospects and gaining experience as my current pqe is less than a year (8 months)

Thanks in advance

A sad, lonely, bitter person. Why do you have to say things like this? Why not explain what you think the difficulties might be instead? Wouldn't that be more constructive?

If you continue to be this nasty, maybe one of these days, somebody who doesn't have compunctions about responding to rudeness with rudeness will actually respond to you in a way that is proportionate, and that response may include a phrase like "I hope you will die in prison". Would you like that?

Hiding behind nothing. If the problem is one that is common to most Indian universities including law universities, then deliberately calling it an NLU problem is disingenuous and misleading. Which is what the OP has been doing, as well as some of the comments supporting him, which seems suspiciously similar based on the language TBH.

Aww… you kids are so cute to think that the VCship will be a competitive process with many big names applying 😊

Sorry to break it to you, but the process will be rigged, just like last time. The candidate has already been zeroed in on and a sham selection process will happen.
