Sudhir said β€œshallow version of craft” to criticise IITD, not NLUD. I think he’ll be fine with this. He is merely a critic of the neoliberal IIT model.
Is it just me or you guys also find the work extremely monotonous and disinteresting...b & f folks please pitch in with your views
As per IHL they are no more than mercanaries they are working for their people they are only working for iran
There are new salaried partners at SAM who make around 70 lpa, so your figures are good if not great
NLUD has been competing with nalsar for the better part of the last decade. Just look at how many kids prefer NLUD over NALSAR these days. NUJS is not even in the game.
Finally. A sensible comment. With all due respect to NUJS, NLUD isn’t really considering you guys to be our main competition. And no, NALSAR isn’t much better than us either. NLS maybe, but only because of the age and alum factor.
Umm there are a couple of nls alum who joined Goldman and McKinsey till 2019.

But yes a lot of grads drastically reduced to a point blank. I will love to know the reason across all industries.
Why r u comparing it with tier 1s? Wont this be vastly different.

Assuming you are a SP a nep3 pay at tier 2 in bangalore, 80l is really good
Do u have any iota of idea how good this is? Just because you are not aware of niche areas of law doesn’t necessarily make you the messiah of these MOUs.
I need an internship from jan-march 2024 in Hyderabad i am 4th year law student
They literally do so much work. Their work culture is horrible.

Also they hire like 10 people a year so don't know what ur on.
The gap shrinks, on the contrary. NLUD has always been far behind NUJS in terms of placement, maybe this will help it get a few more jobs for the students, though Suzuki is nowhere known for providing well paid jobs for law freshers.
Without Modi, India would have done far better by now, since it wouldn't have had to go through Adanigate, Demonetization, Lockdown and other catastrophes that broke the economy's back for so long.
What’s funny is that Modi keeps on behaving as if india doesn’t care for the west and now they have sought help from bcg to even construct a roadmap for their so called β€˜vision’ (which I believe if the implementation is right can happen).
This will actually increase employability. Good call!

Such a good vision to have an agreement with an automobile company and that too for lawyers. NLU Delhi is being niche!
Agree, you are well placed for it. And a year is enough time to brush up the language if needed.

So it all comes down to - what do you want to do more? Be a judge, or corp work? Both have their pros and cons. Weigh these and make your decision.
Trilegal and Ikigai Law, Not SAM. Trilegal, if you want to work in Bangalore and Ikigai for Delhi, though their Bangalore outfit is also good, but much smaller. I disagree with the earlier note on JSA. the firm has one of the older and well-regarded tmt practices.
That's the problem with corporate lawyers. Not 70 hours are to be given to your employer. Spend some time in upgrading yourself.

My lit friends (actual litigators and not of a firm's lit team) laugh when they read LI comments.
Most of the people celebrating this more than the firm or the person himself are college students who are trying to win an alleged virtual best nlu debate.

They'll know the reality soon enough.
It's 40-50k for freshers, I was offered 50 for corp team
I have been an associate and then a partner for many years now. I don’t look at, nor do I know any partner who looks at, the watches their associates wear. These conversational threads are surreal (this is directly mainly at the OP).
Do firms tier-2 onwards use ATS or it is fine to have header in CV for internships
Atleast six mid level resources have been asked to leave while others have been told to β€œbuck up”. This happens when you have overhire juniors while not taking into account the volume of work you have.
The work is high quality, Partners are spot on and culture is excellent from what I have heard from an ex intern.
There is a big difference between (a) appearing sophisticated, and (b) not appearing unsophisticated. I suggest you learn the difference before you graduate.
This is the GOAT comment. Your financials are fucked if it took you so long to save 6 lakhs. If you want to indulge yourself, sure, but you should have at least 4-5 times that amount in safe financial instruments first.
This is just not correct. For fresher it is 25-30k and for experience on the basis of your last drawn salary.
Don't do deals and stuff.

Hardcore criminal litigator here, currently working on a UAPA matter.
TL; DR:

1. was brought up in privilege but learnt to socialise with non privileged ppl thanks to his domestic help

2. loves music

3. is a workaholic

4. deeply spiritual

5. marathi manoos at heart
What are these controversies? Please tell! I know his shady use of RosterMaster powers in the Ritu Chhabria and unstamped arbitration agreement cases to overrule precedent irregularly. What else?
I feel DY is more of jaw-jaw but no teeth judge. The type of changes we expected from him, he failed to deliver it. There are many controversies surrounding him which are pushed under the carpet. More of a spotlight showman than an actual worker.
You think he fixed the bench? I thought he was surprised by Bhat's judgment and in fact expected a Navtej Johar type grand unanimity.
Yes but doesn't he have to establish this before an adjudicatory authority, rather than putting it on Twitter? Hence I said civil suit so that he has an enforceable order in his favour.
Do they have a written paper for Bengali? If yes, then is it qualifying in nature or will the marks be added?

You just mentioned that u can converse in bengali fluently. That's what's required during the interview
Dozens of people got placed from the batch of 2023 and the year before.

What went wrong in 2024?
Yeah, bump. Heard that they have strong clientele in real estate matters. Is that so.
Their bio says that they work with 500 fortune companies, is that correct or they just fishing out. Wbu the intern comment wherein this mobile deposit is made mandatory. Also, can you give a range of the salary to help me negotiate it.
A lot. But that has happened after a MBA. A Ballb degree did give them McKinsey but other consulting firms hired more mba grads
Not the OP but stop being passive agressive. Everybody needs job and least you do is being respectful.
But I saw at least 14 students getting scholarships under his realm who had a good GPA. The scholarships were not enough but did cover 20% of the tuition fee.
Both you and the person whom you've replied to have completely missed the point of this post.
Nor do NLS students now for exchange programmes anymore since Sudhir has taken over.
Ussa accha mein Lnat deke sidha llb na karlu kings se. Also fyi Op was referring to scholarships.
Nujs students don’t receive scholarships unlike students from nls/nalsar.
People DO care. I know many clients in Delhi who are impressed by designer brands like LV.
Why do you say ownership is not settled? Jai has tweeted the cash receipt and Kennel Club certificate. Under the law a dog is just like a regular piece of property.
BUMP++. After merger of Chambers of Srivatsan, what is the culture and pay structure is like. Would appreciate if anyone can shed some light on the same.
I have the same problem. I was randomly allotted Real Estate even though I was promised the M&A team by the hiring partner. Feel stuck in this absolutely dead-beat practice area. SOmeone please help
"In legal profession, a law degree has no relevance."

you cant do anything in the law profession without a law degree.

Also, no litigators are not brokers, they are absolutely power deals as only they make or break criminal/ civil cases.
why so desperate bro I cant tell you as it narrows it down to one person. Just work hard and they are normal Trilegal reluctance to give PPO kinda team
Singularity has seen several 3legal partners and other T1 partners join. Can current associates tell us anything about the prospects of this firm?
Current associate here. Better than a lot of Tier II and even Tier I firms in some aspects. Work is getting better and wlb is maintained to some extent. Pay is also good
You mean ex P&A partner and ex P&A SA? You would do well to enquire about their exit from their previous workplace.
hn bhai yahan sab crorepati bathe hai LI pe to look for insider information and make millions of dollars from your little A1 A2 knowledge on some deals.
you can still report it, client counsel privilege does not extend to criminal acts the counsel finds in the course of the brief. Will you? No right. Even if you do, will he be prosecuted? No right.
bro the clients give them deadlines not the other way round. Yes some partners further cut it short, but companies these days know that and already give very short deadlines and negotiate on bills instead
No it's not, by a mile. Try working with TT&A, S&R, Trilegal (not that team), many SAM teams and im sure many others
please search for the number of nls grads transitioning to IB at JPM and MG etc
Man, that data theft dispute was YEARS ago - 2005-2006 types (the outgoing partners eventually set up LexCounsel (?)). I've been in practice almost 20 years and never heard a good word about the place.
Is JSA doing this for the first time? This campus internship programme?
Please share reviews of HSA Advocates Mumbai and Delhi office for their litigation team. Do they pay on time now? And is it worth joining the firm?
Any updates on this new law firm by ex P&A partners? They recently represented Akasa air and amit has good reputation in market. They are hiring freshers so any idea how much they are paying?
Is it really so bad/ difficult in the litigation space?

Really want to have a discussion about this with someone having a better idea.
Sorry, can't disclose much - but it kind of solves certain problems for early stage startups.
Pretty decent for first year. It stops making sense once you are in your 4th semester.
Though there have been previous discussions as well but would request all to please stick to salaries in Delhi and NCR (only Noida/Gurgaon) as not everyone can move Mumbai/Pune/Bangalore and also please discuss Tier-2 as well as much as possible!

~ Intern to be
i have a uncle whose net worth is around 30 crores, with annual income of 3.5 cr, but he wears a g shock and drives a mahindra kuv 300
Thankyou but as I said college moots are not worth so is there any alternate way to have the same done, even a little less would work!
++ have done a 6 month internship with an MNC (paid)and will go for legal internships next year.

Also, please throw some light on role of mooting in practice areas except Disputes
Intern-employee relationship is generally a no-no irrespective of gender age or designation
Some places like CAM encourage it and people do get married within the firm as well. They see it as an advantage because it reduces chances of attrition. Others have a different view
