Bump, although i don't they care that much for A0s. Might check if you've actually interned there at all
Don’t be a woman. That should help in this messy, men lead, old boys club profession. If you’re a woman, join a law firm.
Step 1 - be a polyglot (already aware of that); step 2- be qualified to practise/register as foreign lawyer (already aware of that); step 3- get the job (how?) thats the question, learned friend?!
can some HR come and tell what takes them so so long to respond. Despite interview going decent, have been following up for two weeks now? what sort of joke is this?
will they be hiring more people now? considering they hire only 7-8 for each office?
Do not join toxic chambers. But the catch is, you'll never know until you join. All of us first gen litigators are destined to be exploited in the initial years.
from what i've seen in past years, pretty sure replies from Links will be around July-August (July if you're rejected, mid-August if you're proceeding to the interview round)
One partner is leaving by himself for another firm, confirmed news
Phd admissions are rigged. Half are former students and other half are locals. No point going.
I got shortlisted as well. Decided not to go since there's internal nepotism and bias towards locals over outsider during selection. No point wasting money to go and present when the result is already rigged.
Same thing happened with a few of my batchmates who are brilliant in terms of their work, GPA etc. Seems to be a standard practice nowadays, law firms giving out false hopes in order to get free (or cheap) labour from "long term interns" etc.
Law is still a traditional profession, and rightly so! I would not take anyone with eyebrow piercings seriously. The only acceptable ones are ear piercings.
It is important to distinguish reportage and opinion pieces (most of these online portals carry both). Wire's reportage is good, opinion is, well...opinion.
Also, would be grateful if someone knows any A0 openings in M&A teams and can share them here!
why did you insert breathalyzers and chaperoning girlfriends into this conversation? stop derailing legitimate concerns with your nonsense agenda
Good at junior levels. Work is high volume, low pressure so it is manageable. No growth trajectory for seniors but this is by design, keeps the headcount manageable and not top heavy.
I oscillate between PE/VC and TMT at T2 firm. Fintech within TMT can be done.
Please provide information on pay, culture, assessment and recruitment policy etc.
No dude, why would they call up internships?

However, this doesnt mean you lie and bluff. One conversation somewhere, and your whole career is done for.
Seems like when God was creating you, in the column of 'Wit and Humour', you chose - none of these.
they'll only hire if you're from Jaipur (assuming the internship is with the Jaipur office), or a local from nearby cities. Pay is approx 50K.
Any specific brands? Asking as someone trying to move up the social ladder.
desi idea - just stop going to the office. what's the worst they'll do, fire you?
Keep trying to get in touch with the HR and ask them to give you some sort of a response, be it positive or negative. Subtly tell them (via msg if your calls are unanswered) that you have to plan stuff based on this
Fantastic lawyer. classy guy. Too senior to actually execute on ground so check who your actual partner is going to be under him. But recomend highly.
What are the options of a 50 plus lawyer who is still stuck in a law firm without any equity? Just wait for retirement?
Most men are picked with experience, most women as freshers. Maybe look into why that was a deliberate choice.
Keep telling yourself that. If it makes you feel better. It is the canned response expected.
Why was that fellow giving away names of potential recruiters lol. Stupid thing to do when you're in the hiring cycle and there are more law schools competing with you
So how's it going BO'27 ? Heard the market was looking bleak for even T1s this time.
pls help me!!!! which teams in tier 1/2 are actively hiring? if i hear β€œno vacancies” one more time AFTER completing an internship i will lose my shit. if you know a team that’s on a lookout, actually any tier atp. PLS DROP BELOW THANKS
Same as above, basically do they call or contact partners of previous firms where a fresher has interned previously? And specially if those were call-back/assessment internships?
How is Santosh Janakiram? Heard mixed reviews. Some say smart lawyer, some say flaky and no client following, only HR and admin role now. Should one join? Looking for genuine advice.
This is really just someone from NALSAR's RCC glazing themselves hard. Stop capping.
That’s not how the 8% is calculated.

It’s 8% of your contribution to that 3 lakh. So for eg if only 2 people worked equally on that mandate, it’ll be 8% of 1.5 lakh for each
It is akin to a fact, after same institution or workplace where you used to meet people daily or frequent place ceases to exist OR the reason for going to that place has ended, people naturally drift apart both for convenience and lesser chance of ever meeting again.
How do you earn as an AOR? Does every AOR get to make a huge chunk?
If it is C&M, they would give you a virtual internship offer after a long delay. Have had the experience.
You know the fact you wrote "two other very proficient NLUs in the eastern and southern parts of the country" instead of NLS and NUJS proves you are over 30.
Plot Twist: This post is by the person who hates the guy who doesn't eat fish
Arey Motherboard MCA ke fees ki reimbursement bhi nahi aati hai ab mahino tak toh.
Do they reply on time with their acceptances and rejections post interviews? I have been waiting for mine but have not received.
I can't belive an LLM and Phd from NLS produces such fellows. Before anyone comes barking with but.. but.. it's not LLB batch; that's 2 years LLM+ atleast 5 years Phd, so 7 years at NLS, more than a normal BA LLB.
No. This is not at all a common practice. This is actually quite charitable from your partner but doubt this will be appreciated else where.
BUMP. also any insight for IP and TMT movement abroad? how about in-house opportunities?
Wow - "Singapore/UAE/UK/US/FR/Switzerland". Pretty broad field! Do you know English, Chinese, Arabic, German, Italian and French all to CEFR B2 proficiency level? You may wanna start with that project, first, if you really want to keep so many options open.
Charandeep never promotes people to partner level- hence all counsels end up leaving.

Team does not treat the interns well. Everyone gets in the team through connections or lateral hiring.

So many supposed AI enthusiasts are getting this wrong too, tells you a lot about the state of legaltech as a whole.
Um, i chose hnlu over nliu in clat 2021...you...could've mentioned hnlu along with nluo mnlu m and rmlnlu..jus sayin', why exclude us? Simply because we're t3?
the team sits out of gurgaon. some competent people, some not so much. both SAs are very well versed with the law. both partners good
If that's your only deciding criteria, then all I'll say about CAM Ahmedabad (and Ahmedabad generally) is - where there is a will there is a way
Kinda, but not really. You probably need a year to learn the regulations and learn how tech companies structure solutions around these regs. It’s not an impossible move and I have seen people do both. Easier to do fintech to tech than tech to fintech.
When you find out she runs the Vietnam desk of AZB and handles 90% of her matters from semiconductor entities who rely on AI, you will understand how biased that opinion is.
Since when did something like a Zomato start coming to law schools for hirings? Investor money is really changing trends.
Also got to know that the main man behind Legacy, Mr. Pradyun has resigned and all set to start his own independent practice, legacy ki toh lag jaane wali hai
Ty. I am steering away from litigation as I did a few internships, and it isn't my cup of tea. Taxation... i could try but heard that its stagnant and sucks your soul from a senior. I wouldn't solely rely on any answers here but did need some advice for my future pursuits DX.
There is no team lol. There is not enough work at P&A. One person used to sit in a co-working space (wework) to coordinate filings and listings. Admin work only.
As an NLUJ alumnus, I have to admit that those are all good points. That said, I absolutely loved my time at Jodhpur. Good luck!
