Does CAM have a policy for paying higher bonus than what is specified in the Retainer Letter?
A3 - 25.5 FR + [4.97 (BE) / 5.85 (ME) / 7 (EE)].

Anyone kind enough to share SA/Counsel pay?
Very grateful. Just curious, this is all taxed at 30% tho, correct? Why does NDA do this? How does it benefit them to treat you as an employee as opposed to a retained professional?
Same thoughts, kid wants to write a research paper and is trying to find a research gap.
hmm I'm some what satisfied with your explanation. thank you. May be I have to read more about it to get some counters.
Salary is top class. Work is most Asia (Dubai/Singapore) based international arbitrations. The team is small, based on NDA’s principles, since Prateek is an ex NDAite. Overall, a promising law firm in disputes practice.
i am going to be interning at phoenix again this year and I graduate next year. I have indications that I can be extended an offer. So when push comes to shove, should I accept it or wait it out and try my hand at other law firms?
I want to join a litigation office in Ahmedabad which gives me exposure to commercial disputes in lower courts/NCLT as well as High Court!
I am from NLS and can say that at least 2 chaps I know have left NLS for JGLS.
I think his area falls under the constituency where Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay is contesting from and is expected to win. Maybe contact the judge post 4 June?
In order to make 2 cr as a partner, you need to recover atleast 9 cr - assuming 3x and your salary+variable to be 2 cr, and your team cost as 1 cr. Have fun
I can verifiably say that at the top 3 NLUs, LKS has offered almost the double of the aforementioned fixed component. I know, even the recruitment committee was shocked.
Hi i am planning to pursue LLM in IT and IP domain and wanted to know if there is any good college/course that has a reputation in market for the updated curriculum as in context of IP and AI
100000000% support, this is especially helpful for people with no connections in legal field and want to know what is happening inside.
If you make 2 crores - you have 1.4 left after tax. Now think House EMI, Vehicle EMI, Kids educations, Vacation, taking care of your parents- you aren’t saving more than 40-50 lakhs and that’s by being penny wise
Is that even ethic. The place I work at has a canteen and they there's no free coffee. They charge 20 rs for a cup of coffee (deduct it from the salary) everytime I order it
I don't get it. If I am making 2cr every year and saving 1cr out of it, will i not have 20 cr after 20 years?
Bullshit. Nobody left Khaitan EP for independent practice.
I feel like this is some kid trying to get ideas for his project or possible article.
Nothing new. MNLU Nagpur has not paid its faculty salaries properly (only 50%). All NLUs charge exorbitant fees now. The decline of NLUs is real, irrespective of what you hear on this platform.
Its an upcoming firm. Work culture is normal. Interns get work, for sure
Chennai is long regarded as the Detroit as Asia and Tesla is in active talks to setup their manufacturing base there.
Not OP, but why did you have to insult them? would it kill you to be nicer?
What's in it for the senior who provides traineeship? They have to be compensated one way or the other. Also, how would you ensure they simply don't sign the certificates.
Can you share the video where he had promised to deposit 15 lakhs in every bank account and also quote the exact words that he had said?
They are writing the report now, after meeting stakeholders. It will take 2-3 months maybe.
Other NLUs don’t care and don’t even bother applying. And NLS has been humiliating itself for 5 years by losing to a place like JGLS which will never be better in NIRF.
Bachpan mein cricket nahi chorna tha accha IPL contract mil jaata itni mehnat kke saath
Reason #443 why Sudhir is a superior VC and why other NLUs desperately need good alumni VCs like him.
How many people are there and which practice area? Are they hiring?
these nlus are charging fee more than an average govt. engineering college and after completing degree giving us placement less than an avg. engineering college.
Anyone have any idea about how Rashtriya Raksha University is when it comes to studying defence related law ? Or should I focus on JNU's Centre for National Security ? Is NALSAR's MA in Defence Laws good ?
Bump for best IDT team at these firms with great work life balance and nil toxicity.
Consultant at associate level - the comment is valid

Consultant at partner level - the comment is not applicable 👍🏼
That’s the SBI ex chairman consultant category as written above. If I’m not wrong the OP is asking about associate level designation entry into tier I
Don’t think so - because these Tier Is have consultant tags only and they would call out.
Bump for best IDT Partner + Team at Trilegal, Khaitan & Co and SAM. All NCR.
Then please explain how does a person graduating from NLU Bhopal and then Columbia go from a Partner to being a Consultant at CAM.

Your logic is not logic-ing.
This is based on the structure for last year

SAM/A2/23.20LPA (18.5+4.7)
It is for LLM. You can also make an affidavit of you can't get a character certificate.
Well technically, anyone can keep bumping the thread everyday to keep it at the top. Do you guys really want that? Plus, it would make the thread filled with daily bumps.
Hi, what's the scene with Induslaw Delhi. do these guys give PPO's? How is the firm culture etc.?
Most likely either Mah/Guj. But either way, I like this kind of competitive federalism between states to attract large companies to set up manufacturing hubs. 🇮🇳/acc heavy manufacturing ftw!!!
Any sign of the latest University Review Commission Report for NLSIU?
Whereas JGLS has been competing with foreign universities to attract foreign students in droves every year...oh wait, no it isn't.
can the moderators not jointly decide to put this thread up at the homepage everyday?
There is no need of background or contact for clearing govt. exams don't follow what other say blindly just give your best in mains, interview will become easy and clear it even if you score low.
Wow.. What a revelation. No, most stagnate at 3-4 cr range, and very few break the 10 cr ceiling.
Didn't a Khaitan equity partner leave to start independent practice?
What are the salary levels of SA1s across T1 firms? All inputs welcome but mentioning split of fixed/ variable, practice area and city would help bring more transparency for everyone
being blocked for you doesn't count, there are very problematic and slightly criminal subs on there which a regular user should definitely know exists
Please suggest maritime/admiralty law practitioners to intern under, except from firms like Bose & mitra, Renata, etc.
Tri and KCo got the best tax teams among law firms IMO.
oh it is very viable - you have a very enviable position - although just be sure that you will not have too much flexibility in the work you do or be able to switch easily if you don't end up liking law. plus if parents find out you don't like tax law they may start drama
The problem with this list is that it is 10 months old. Not updated as per recent increments.
op here, i have decided to close the thread because i dont want to create unnecessary draama in my life - it's their loss if they are missing out on an awesome person like me
I have visited the website of Singularity Legal and it is very engaging. They are very selective of the people they hire and their work is amazing. Can someone please shed some light on their work culture and salary?
No. I have taken a Mensa IQ test. I got a decent score. Thanks for your concern
wow, been 2 days yet no lead. Is LI only good with corp leads?
Haven't been explicitly said that I am ugly but have experienced the same in a T1 NLU where people make friends, hangout and click pictures only with friends who are goo looking.
Boutique firms have been doing them. Otherwise tier-2,3 firms too
Not very sure but from what I've heard, it's 90k(ish) in hand.
Best direct tax partner + team at SAM, KCO, NDA, Vaish and Trilega
BUMP

Here it is.https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/261285-honest-a0-salaries-for-tier-1-and-tier-2-law-firms-2023
Well said and for private companies cs are are of no use. They are so useless
You are saying that privileged peeps are doing well in life? What's exactly surprising about it? You have not discovered anything new.
CAM PA1 - 34.5 + 23 (bonus).

PS - the team I'm in got 110% bonus this year.
How do we apply for Paralegal position- directly reach out to the partner??
They are not on standard employees and rest the comments explain
Are you in the Delhi office? Can we connect, I will also be joining SAM as A0 in July

theshopeasy@gmail.com
What firms and teams are looking to hire via PPOs?? How do you get this information ?
Why isn't LI moderated well ? Atleast can we have some decent threads and discussion. Make accounts mandatory, even if it's anonymous.
How do you know if the strangers are really strangers here ? What if they're bots ?
Feedback in simple terms means helpful information or criticism that is given to someone to say what can be done to improve. You didn't need to be knowing, seeing or doing something. Just like most of you who are arm chair critics in LI pretending to be experts.
Yep alot of t1 PPOs rolled out, they'll stop offering PPOs till July, August onwards will be day zeros only
