We are not only marking this entire thread trollish but also actively urging each one of you to not indulge in rumours related to apparent ‘scams’.
Bro this is the same condition in every law firm, or corporate organisation for that matter, only a few manage and have control in all affairs. BTW SnR pays much hire than CAM or SAM at senior levels.
If you are the sole earner and need to take care of your mother and pets, I would recommend staying in a firm for a bit longer, building up 15-20 lakhs, and then switching to litigation. In Bombay, you can save up to 5-6 lakhs as an A0 (on the old pay scale) so in 2-3 years you should be able to save 15-20 lakhs imo. Since you live with your mother in Delhi, you might be able to save a little bit more (Bombay rents are insane - not that Delhi rents are cheap).
Thankfully I have parental financial support. Otherwise, it is very hard to survive on a pure litigation salary. More importantly, knowing that I have some savings to fall back upon keeps me relatively stress free.
Whenever you switch to litigation, make sure you join bosses who are good people. That makes all the difference in a long term game like litigation.
Good luck, and hope to see you in court!

There is high sense of favouritism by partners towards few associates and others which only runs the firm; if you raise issues you are facing, they don’t care. Management avoids talking or listening to any issues one is facing in the firm. There is no true measurement of how much a person is remunerated being proportionate to the efforts the person is putting. It all depends upon the discretion.
Most of the deserving people end up leaving the firm because they get so frustrated by this dictatorship culture. S&R remunerations are not at par with the market at mid/senior level lawyers.
They are over conservative in every aspect and avoid difficult conversations. There is no vision of the firm to follow or look forward for. There doesn’t come a sense of belongingness towards people and firm even after spending multiple years at the firm due to cold behaviour management keeps with people, they hire except few old favourites of theirs. There is no performance evaluation system for associates and partners and all is decided by few based on discretion. There are no growth paths they talk about or career progression conversations they have ever with any person.
Didn’t work under him, but interned on the same floor where he sat. Always found him a bit intimidating and scary. Seemed strict to me, but the team seems nice.
I guess you could say that Harvard and Yale are definitely up there. What about Stanford, UPenn and Michigan?
Anagram Partners, Stratage, Rajaram, Quillion, Touchstone, Resolut, Bombay Law Chambers, Lexygen,
Algo, Peritum etc.
I know of a mining baron, a politician, a judge and a big CA who have used this tactic to get their kids into NLUD.
2. Most precedents apply to a specific fact situation. Whether it applies to a similar/ opposite fact situation is an inferential based approach, and that discretion is with the courts. So yea a tax law matter where the ratio also provides some share transfer valuation etc may not apply to a normal CCPS issue.
3. Many precedents are conflicted by other decisions by other benches, sometimes lower in hierarchy (death penalty, adoption, divorce etc.). So yea, the truth is judges dont follow the precedent many times, cuz there aint no-one to stop them doing that, so it has to be brought to their notice continually.
Hope this helps.

It is like that with any senior counsel.
So yes, whatever this person has said is true.
But yea LLM toh yaise hand out kar rahe jaise free ho.
Rich peeple stuff i think
He is right wing.
But even then, I'd say,
1) Supporting Palestinians as Indians would eventually open the door for questioning India's equation with Kashmir. Muslims across the world know as much about the Kashmir issue as Indians know about the Israel-Palestine conflict, but guess which propaganda they are willing to digest? That the poor Kashmiris and Pakistanis are totally innocent deers being hunted by Indian predators. For them, and the rest of the world, it would be very apparent hypocrisy to support the "decolonization" of Palestine but not of Kashmir. Do you really think anyone, in this day and age of fake news and twitter opinions will read an op-ed discussing the nuances differences in the situations, the history and the context? No one will. Right wing Muslims dont care about right or wrong, they only care about Islamic dominance over the world. It's the same thing RWers everywhere. Thus, even India supporting Palestine will only be met with suspicion in the Muslim world, with the added disadvantage of pissing off Israel.
2) From a geopolitical perspective, being Israel's ally is far far better than being Palestine's ally. All rich western countries are supporting Israel. We are a poor country, and Israel is a desert that evolved into a high income country through the proper allocation of resources and investment, and their R&D expertise will be of immense aid to us. What do the Palestinians have to offer to us? Hamas? Poems about freedom? No thanks. If it comes down to one, I'd rather be with Israel, which can offer great help to a largely poor country like ours as opposed to another poor country rife with radical Islam.
