How is bonus calculated at Tri? Everyone gets the meets expectations bonus , do they give the exceed expectations bonus to anyone or it's taken by the partners?
Better than MNLU Mumbai people who don't know the law nor have the alum to rely upon.
No UPSC is just as depressing. But your status in society goes to CEO of Fortune 500 level in India, you will literally oversee all the major transactions of running the department. (AKA paisa)
Do not give up on your dreams, join a college for its opportunities and network if that is what you want. You should go for it!
Trilegal CM is not hiring at all. Just heard a guy with investment banking experience was denied an internship. They have too many people, too many partners for the few mandates they are doing. Even in the recent IPO surge, they did so less work.
some people are saying that there's attrition and they're hiring, some are saying they're on a freeze. idk now
15+ PQE here. No one cares. By the time you reach 35, there will be folks at 32 and folks at 38 who are in the same place you are. The age gap in a typical class is easily 24-30 months at times. Go out there and crack it, and all the best :)
But banking ensures that you make make mega bucks in the long run(subject to clientele ofc)... everyone in law firms are here for money then why one shouldn't pick a practise area which is well known to take moreπŸ’°
Those were two discrete points. Proving right the old adage about reading and understanding.

Have heard just 1-2 people from each batch at Top NLUs intern at S&R, but mostly all of them seem to get a PPO though
lol true, having interned at SAM, Indus, Bharucha , JSA ECM I can attest, would love to work with CAM though if someone is willing to help :((
When you were studying, that's what your teachers would have said about their student lives. You are not unique.
seniors and mentors dont have to be friends to guide you, just approach and ask any 3rd or 4rth yr dude
No. I did not sign up for any such expectation. Doing my work means doing what I am being evaluated for including my assignments and exam.
Bro everyone cracking UPSC becomes a Secretary or Commissioner in some department in their 40s. A person cracking the lower JS doesnt even become a HC judge.
Chill kar bro. Waise bhi, kaafi log 19-20 ke hote hein and that’s normal. Tu ek saal zyada. Nothing will happen
Bilkul sehii. Waise bhi I just took a year drop and was 19. But a lot of my batchmates(a well established nlu) were around 20. About about 21- that’s not a lot far from these two age brackets right (by two I meant 19 and 20). So chill out
SAM and Indus are on a freeze. JSA prefers laterals and does not entertain freshers. S&R is very very very selective on callbacks and PPOs. Switch to B&F and a lot of options open up from a hiring standpoint. Best of luck!
SLS P placements have always been miles ahead of MNLU Mumbai. Among private options, SLS P is perhaps the best now, considering the bad ROI for Jindal and the SLS alumni circle.
There's no such hold from NALSAR at least. The Kirkland partnership is not like other firm partnerships, which have been discussed in other threads, plus the same firm has already got partners from NLS and NUJS too earlier.
Seen a lot of NLS, NALSAR, SLSP and NLIU kids use their alumni to get them the best kinds of opportunties since the alumni bases are pretty strong. Factoring the alumni aspect, I feel SLSP is better placed than MNLU.
Same. I’m from the gen corp team, I sometimes wish I was with the tri tmt team. They seem so chill and nice to work for
For laterals, AZB and JSA have been the slowest in my experience. Really fast are SAM KCO and Trilegal out of which the last one has super fast and the smoothest recruitment process.
It gets crazy sometimes but never very technical once you get a handle on how transactions work.
Abe kis duniya se aaye ho?

If there are zero overlaps, why should an airport deal not be filed under green channel?
Lol. How is this trollish again. Or is shardul going and reporting each of these comments himself? Maybe Li should release it's guidelines on what consists trolling.
Trollish? Who does it identity or attack? A general class of school topper girls? Or id thus LIs left-liberal bias.
Crawford Capmarks (AO pay) is more or less at par with T1 pay; had a friend transition to KCO who told me about the crazy exit opportunities after 1 year with CB. Also look up the AZB, Bom partner pool - they are all Crawford exits.
If that is the case, how does one get to do M&A and PE work, considering that there is only one "general corporate" practice area in firms like Khaitan and Trilegal?
why avoid cap marks? Asking cuz I have internships in CM teams of S&R, SAM and Indus and JSA next year.
How were the placements for the 2024 batch in both these colleges? Also which one was better comparitively?
2036 Ahmedabad would be a fitting place to celebrate the hundred years of 1936 Berlin. It will also show that either the IOC has a sense of dry humour or lack of political perspective.
Theyll take your work- but theyll take your pay too okay? Cause asking to be paid for someone elses work- that sounds like exploitation dont it?
Updates to see how things are looking? AZB and CAM have come out with revised figures, I believe.
Hasn't been discontinued - someone who used it last trimester.

Stop spreading misinformation.
Has anyone noticed an excessive overreach by the mods with respect to moderation? For all of R's faults, he published funny and and light hearted comments

LI is meant for having a laugh in our dreary lives. Not everything is trollish or toxic
Do what you love, you'll be a lot happier. Yes hiring may be comparatively less, but there are still vacancies nonetheless. I know this cause I work in a niche field too, and I enjoy my work so much.
Everything under the sun comes under GC; the clueless kids (usually toppers) during their campus placements think that GC means M&A and then crib when they underperform due to this at the T1 firms.
Would you do anything to make that happen? If yes, then stay off the Internet, go and study.
Reach out to your seniors, mentors at Nalsar! Why are you posting it here?
Ahemdabad makes a mediocre case. Not too big, but not too small either. And given current regime's blatant disregard of equal treatment to the various regions/states of the country, Ahmedabad has a high chance of submitting a favourable bid for hosting Olympics in 2036.
Why not ask him for a second round? Assessments (and PPOs) are often the result of multiple internships at the same firm.
Only in bail petitions. Trials and appeals are quite heavy on precedents.
Niche, if you want to work and grow at a big firm. Generalist if you are settling for a T2 set up.
Avoid Capital Markets and Banking, GC is the safest bet for growth in your formative years.
Are you talking about 2022 batch GNLU grads? They resigned because they had other plans in life and not because of any toxicity
I would strongly disagree - criminal law is far more fact dependent than civil law. Caselaw plays a much lesser role as well
Delhi NCR is the best choice, but the games village and infra development should happen in the neglected parts, like Meerut or Sonipat.
For LawSikho, its lawyers over 30 looking to get into new practice areas

Law students are about 10%

Another 10% recent law grads who want to land a job

70% lawyers above the age of 30, half of them over 40
What about courses through Tsaaro academy, as they are expensive.
Can we settle this here? I am sure there are supporters of both sides and that it might be impossible to reach a conclusion, but can we have pros and cons lists for each?
Most host cities have been a country’s capital or one of its biggest cities. By that Logic Ahmedabad does not fall within the exception category.
"Well the PM himself routinely flies on Adanis private jet so if you applied that standard of politicians using businessmen there is a lot more at stake..."

Proof please
Criminal litigation involves heavy knowledge of both legal provisions and case law. Civil on the other hand (especially property, family, MV, consumer etc) is mostly fact based.
Capmarks because the work is too repetitive. You will become mentally challenged.
Same as the header. What all sub-groups (e.g. real estate, labour and employment, etc.) fall under this team? Does it change from firm to firm?
You can't expect the stipend, I had gotten an internship at Tri the same way.
Any third year guy who has received internship offer for summer 2024 Internship at Dentons Link Legal?
They're "reserving the right to sue".

Translation: "We have to say this to show we are innocent. In reality, we cannot sue because it is the truth."
Think about the larger picture. Also, doing what you love (and getting paid decently for it) is better than any amount of money, you will be able to do something for a longer period of time if you like/love it.
Could you name the firm and if you aren't comfortable doing so, could you name some similar firms' names?
You're only in 3rd year? You have your whole life ahead of you! Just do an MBA after graduation.
