What money spinners. Just doing marquee/ front page deals doesn’t mean you are making alot of money.
What are the salaries in-house legal counsels are getting in Mumbai with 5 years of work experience in drafting contracts and handling litigation?
Is it a tier 2 firm? And How's the internship experience, if someone has done. Please let me know, is it worth it to internship at Tandon.
Makes people think they are not even part of the team. Just being used to get the work done
To mod: Am I allowed to name people from Kolkata who made it to NLUJ/GNLU merit lists but chose NUSJ NRI quota? That will shut up the trolls posting misinformation.

[Mod: No, sorry, probably not a good idea but we believe you ;)]
OP here, what I meant was do I need to download certificate available on google and send it to university or they have their fixed format and will send it to me?
As state universities, NLUs are like Ranji Trophy teams. They are happy competing among themselves. It is a domestic competition.
Hello, thank you for your reply, it is quite helpful. Please also tell if it possible for someone without an influential background or contacts to clear the interview purely on the basis of merits? Thanks in advance!
I graduated last year, not from a great college and not with a good rank. One year has passed me by, and I have not yet joined a good chamber.

How to pick myself up from here?

Should I write something or what?
be kind and understanding, Smile,

make the learning fun,

If a person can't explain in a simple manner he does not know it well himself, you must have capability to make a 10 year old understand complex legal issues then only are you a real teacher
It does happen but I've only seen this in the Mumbai office with long time interns.
Interesting. This wasn’t the case when I interned there in 2016. Things have become worse it seems.
Don't fall for it. A lot of my batchmates were hired in a similar hiring spree. A lot of them were kicked out within 6 months, once they realised that they had overshot.
From another T1. We are doing decent. We now have more PPOs than what the batch of 2024 had before day Z
Trilegal has Payel Chatterjee, Kunal Gupta, Anuj Berry etc. AZB has Ajay Upadhyay (moved from KPMG to AZB recently).
You want to be some combination of knowledgable, kind, firm and good at communicating. You don't have to be perfect at any of the four but you do need a minimum of each to get through to your students. The rest doesn't matter.
There is another thread on this, I couldn't find it for you rn. Someone can link or bump the other one so that we don't have multiple threads for the same thing, thanks :)
The college is nothing of its former self. Thestudent community was very vibrant around 8-10 years ago.
Not worth it. Very few jobs out there, and if you manage to find one, the abuse at junior levels alone will make you want to take up any other profession. No other profession can be as "humbling". Why do you want anyone to treat you sub-humanely?
Lawyer unemployment is at all all time high and this idiot wants folks to assume there will be a 3.0. Go earn your 2Rs on twitter.
JSW is sponsoring the construction of 4 floors at New Academic Block, in the biggest grant ever given to the law school. They are also panning to sponsor a centre on Law and Technology.

Interesting times ahead.
Literally the comment below you makes disparaging comments towards Bihar. Indians are racist towards Indians, im fairly certain racism outside will pale in comparison
Since a lot of firms announced updated salaries. What are A0s getting in all firms?

Mods pls make it featured for pay transparency so that it can reach more audience.
I would suggest if you are from any decent college try to apply for assessment internship at teir 3, teir2 or even boutique law firms. you would surely get something. Also try to reach your college seniors for any opportunity. All the best bro.
what the actual fuck? This is literally exploitation. I hope your friend is doing well now.
I think they've been offering PPOs for a while now? Although they have a bond like think for a minimum 3 years or so. CTC is around 13 LPA(source-GLC circle)
He is actually a great human being. Very chill guy, approachable and down to earth! Refreshing to see in the otherwise toxic law firm culture. Apart from his personality, he also does a lot of interesting high profile matters.
A couple months from graduation does not really seem like “planning ahead”
Buddy your comment was just unhelpful bragging - no insights it seems. We call this falling upwards
Planning to give an interview at Khaitan & Co. Mumbai Office as an A2, for M&A, PE/VC work. Please shed light on work culture, timings, level of toxicity. Thanks!

Does CAM hire freshers as paralegal?

I'm a 2024 batch pass out with a good CV with no job in hand.

Also, any possibility of these paralegals to converted to A0's?
Ive noticed that smarter people, especially in the humanities, tend to be left wing. This is NLUs, especially the really good ones, tend to be left leaning.
Good work, most Partners are not crazy, maket leading pay, meritorious system, no gender bias, emphasis on work quality and training.
Be no nonsense. Dont give an inch to the snowflakes. Keep a distance.
Stock market crash?

Oil prices through the roof?

Modi victory becomes uncertain?

Law firms freeze recruitment?

Or am I panicking too much?
This wl bloody make the profession even more nepotistic, as there will be 300 active sr's, now even sr. designation will not serve as a guarantee to more work or fatter fees. Am very happy in my corporate job
That makes your decision seem a bad one, since the place is far away from reaching anywhere near the ones that you have left. On any parameter.
Hi can anyone tell me how is the work culture and pay of Dolce Vita Advisors New Delhi for an A0 (work ex: 9-10 months)
Route it through HR or get someone who works there to refer. Cold emailing partners will get ignored.
Some get fired also in a few months. Tag’s the real free bonus for these ones.
thank you. I try, but the interactions feel mostly very formal, and I'm not able to ask cringy doubts like these
Op here, i dont want to divulge information but would be grateful if someone could pls help me battle this
I presume your question is not for hires like ex SBI chairman. If not - then the reasons are obvious. They don’t fit in so trial. Make shift.
Be as straightforward as possible. You won't get the opportunity unless you ask for it.
I want to know the same. Also, are they hiring vociferously
Tu khush reh na. Job le k bhi Shanti nahi hai tujhe. Troll karne baitha hai. Go get a life.
Does this also apply to law graduates? Been a year, still as lost. And the burden of not being a “student” makes it feel like I cannot ask for help?
How is the work culture / hours and pay here?

Thanks in advance!

We on LI aren’t students and certainly not yours. This is not how you get student feedback. Also, you can’t be something based on what others want. I don’t think you are ready to teach yet.
Feedback is based on knowing/seeing/doing something. You don’t even understand what the word means. I doubt you will ever get the critical bit. Please don’t teach.
You can call people out, but not anonymously. If you advocate holding others accountable for their actions, then you should be held accountable for yours too. Instances of fake news that are posted on LI are legion.
Then when the above post asked to name better universities, none replied . It shows that's you are the one ignorant of the state of Indian universities, when you can't even name one decent legal university.
Only Jindal, NLS & NLUD should be allowed. The name should be "legal privilege"
Thanks. You're right. I tend to mask my eccentric personality with being silent. Otherwise people would consider me crazy.
Is character certificate needed for jobs or LLM? I don't think tier 1 ppos students need character certificate
Where should you intern if you have given options to choose btw Samvad, Dua and Vaish??
How sad and selfish that people cant post their pay despite several ppl bumping the post.

I put my pay for previous current and next level at my firm everytime. Why dont people want transparency????
Nope, girl crazy = posting the same cultural marxist crap they did, joining all their nonsense protests, saying all the things they wanted to hear, whambam and thank you ma’am.
Kian, literally all of the substantive points made in this post are now censored, what is the point of these threads?
Hi,

Can I get some insights for S&A Gen corp team. Real insights are only appreciated.

Thanks
coming from a current 4th year who left NLUs like NLUJ and GNLU - it is for sure improving.
My favourite judge is J Bela Trivedi. She is also from Gujarat. She was Law secretary. Extremely knowledgeable , intelligent and campion of human rights and liberty.
Hi Shreya, I have heard a great deal about your work and have been following you.
I was trying to look up, but could not find, where your offices are in Bangalore. Would be great if someone could tell.
Jealously only comes when you compare yourself with others . Even though we live in the competitive world ,Still you can be remaind attentive to your work.
Noticing legally India not publishing comments off late. Hoping that this one won’t be labelled trolling for no reason.
I’ve seen few Tier I give consultant designation to hires. These are either majority in-house experience candidates or tier III law schools and law firms. What’s the reason?
Samvad partners, which tier and how is the internship experience? Also does they provide stipend??
Bump! Would be great if great if it is active though. Reddit only has some NLU subreddit with barely any discussion on life after law school. Plus there should be a subreddit for corporate legal advice too.
Depends on what practice area the moot was. Also, start talking to your seniors.
Only selective one or two teams are going (read cap marks) and no one else is going.
A0 salary must be same in all Khaitan offices I'm thinking. Donno why bias against chennai A0 if any difference. I think litigation don't get paid well from my sources
have folks already started getting PPOs for 2025 batch? When do tier 1/2s stop recruiting via PPOs - which month this year?
The lowest rank admitted to NLS from CLAT 2023 was 7829. Many who have secured higher ranks are here.
NLS is kind of like the public version of Jindal now. But places like NLUD and NALSAR are still way better law schools than JGLS.
Is recreational Marijuana tolerated in law firms? Just asking if I can share a J with SAs or should I keep it to myself?
