Request for long term internships with the firms you have interned with previously and remain in constant contact with partners. If they have vacancies they will hire you, or will help you with a reference in another firm.

btw im from the 2026 batch and am really really panicked.

lol please read the language you’ve used. You’re absolutely no one to talk crap about anyone’s professional achievements. It’s a shame that this has become such a public issue when he only meant to escalate the issue. You, or any of us for that matter, are also not the judge of whether he was tortured or not. Evidently there is a miscommunication on both ends and rather than acknowledging that you’re talking Shit about someone you know nothing about.

What rubbish! If you feel that way, it is because your parents didn't teach you how to be self-sufficient while you're living with them. Not everyone's parents are short-sighted like that. Compared to living in cramped hostels with zero privacy and toxic people, it is a much better option to stay at home while studying or working.

Dear all, I had been associated with AZB from the time the firm came into existence and had known Hardeep Sachdeva and Abhishek forever. Let me tell you that Ajay Behal, Hardeep, Abhishek are all really down to earth people and this circulation is highly motivated. There is no way AZB could have treated anyone in this manner.

LI, please don’t block out all messages. Clearly there is one toxic SA in this team. Clearly nobody is naming the SA. But what we’re trying to do is let this potential AZB slave know what he / she will be getting themselves into if they accept the offer. I interned there sometime back. Had the misfortune of having this SA get assigned as my “buddy” as they call it. At first I thought I was lucky that I got someone who seemed to know her stuff, but after a few days, it didn’t matter to me if she knew her stuff or not. She was the most unapproachable SA and I wished I was assigned to just any other SA who all seemed understanding and kind. We’re after all college students / freshers. We haven’t graduated as partners and scholars. Give us a break. Talk to us with respect and kindness. I didn’t get any of this from my “buddy”. Safe to say she made it easy for me to make a decision, not joining AZB Disputes Mumbai if I’ve to be disrespected. Please don’t moderate and block this, LI.

I interned with the Competition team in the Delhi office. There were two ▮▮▮. One was lovely to work with. Very polite, gave clear instructions & always provided feedback (DD). The other guy used to yell at me almost every day. Expected me to know all the nuances of competition law on day 1 as a third year and would scold me for things that weren’t my fault. ▮▮▮. Mentorship and training is important if you can’t do that Atleast don’t be rude. The whole office saw him scream at me once and he had to apologise because I am a female.

Hi, I am interested in pursuing 3 year LLB Hons. after my BCom Hons. However, there is not much concrete information available regarding the placements of 3-year LLB Hons programmes. Do you guys have information regarding that? Are 3 year students disadvantaged compared to the 5 year students, especially at NLSIU or GLC, Mumbai?

Hardeep's team has 37 members to be precise.

Every associate in the team is equally treated with dignity and given exposure to handle things on their own. ▮▮▮

In AZB, ▮▮▮

The story ▮▮▮ properly screenplayed ▮▮▮ to malign the RE team of the Firm. Its easy to point fingers without knowing the whole story.

I am currently a T-1 law school student who has interned quite extensively. everywhere that I go, my fellow interns just rave about getting a job at a T-1 law firm. It's getting to the point where I feel that we are aiming for very little despite working really hard in law school for 5 straight years.

In the grand scheme of things, Indian t-1 firms are not even in the top 100 law firms of the world and practically nobody outside of law knows about these organisations. I am not trying to be disrespectful, I am aware of the kind of work it takes to build such firms but why are students not aiming for the likes of Kirkland, Weil, Skadden, Linklaters etc? I am aware that in the longer term India is better when it comes to pay but it's another ballgame when you say that you are a corporate lawyer in London. Do people not understand the prestige it carries? Am I thinking too much or is everybody else crazy? I mean, let's face it, nobody would pick a Tier 1 indian firm over Kirkland or Clifford chance if given the choice.

Started working at a fairly renowned IP boutique straight out of college - thanks to a PPO. 6 months into the role, I was burnt out, exhausted, and "over it" [to put it simply]. The 'pivotal moment' was when I had slept at 3AM one night [I was working, obviously] and a Partner called me up at 7AM to extract a pleading from the TM Registry. For the uninitiated, this is done via an online portal, and barely takes 2-3 minutes. Then, I was asked to report to the TMO [2 hours away from where I lived] at 9.30AM sharp.

Moved to law firm branding and I cannot tell you how happy I am. I login at 10AM and get done around 6-7PM on 99.99% of the days. Pay isn't great, but at least I have my sanity.

You're literally contradicting yourself, your opinion isn't everyone's either. Mere association with someone and working with someone are two completely different things. People can be nice otherwise and horror shows to work with. Maybe look inwards before making sweeping statements of toxicity about a random person.

Since when it has become a felony to tell a fellow lawyer/ associate his mistakes in work and guiding them. Does it make a person/ law firm/ team toxic. If that is the case, then every organization, whether a law firm/ or otherwise are toxic. Instead of sulking and alleging unprofessionalism, the associate should be thankful for getting the right guidance and withdrawing his email.

This email alleging unprofessionalism is really laudable, and mind it that these comments of unprofessionalism are coming from an associate who does not even know what professionalism means and who has been jumping boats every 6 months.

It is also true that such mindless comments are coming from associates who are part of the mutual admiration club, and who have either become disinterested in work or have been given notice to look for other jobs. It is very easy for fence sitters to make malicious comments just for the sake of having fun. I have personally seen this guy being absent from client meetings since he had an urge to smoke.

The people who are applauding the guts of this associate and treating this as revolutionary step, must hire this guy, and get ready for the next viral story….

And how is this an acceptable statement to make that you are going to re-arrange someone’s face? Shows your upbringing more than anything else.

And that “senior partner” was only calling this “chap” out for his lackadaisical attitude towards work.

Just because he was asked to work, doesn’t mean he can say whatever he wishes to.

Yes, this is all true. Specific group of boys are slut shaming and targeting minorities females in the campus. They are sending emails with lots of obscenities for the female students. VC is not taking any action and cancelled freshers party scheduled yesterday evening for first year students. They are creating hostile conditions for female students and VC and wardens are not even taking any actions against them.

II why being so delusional! Abhishek could become the senior partner of the biggest and best law firm in this country because he very well deserves to be there. I think you just know to use words like to I like toxic and don’t trivialise his achievements! Totally jealous nothing else. First achieve what he has at such a young age then talk.

Now everyone know the truth how those individuals involved are toxic and dangerous for their associate mental and physical well being. Very cunningly mention that the complainant on its own "with his greatest free will" has sent apology acter the complainant no sane person will do if he has taken such a big step. Not everyone here is fol to believe your story

Killing street dogs humanely and painlessly is the best solution. Streets need to be cleaned out. And those who have dogs at home need to be trained to take proper care of their dogs, get them trained, vaccinated, neutered, etc. If these rules are properly enforced, things will be better, both for dog lovers and non-lovers.

Roadmap I followed:

Watched all the relevant videos from Khaitan & Co. on youtube. (They have all my respect for taking this initiative and putting in so much effort).

Their videos discuss the topics on the surface level but it does put me in the right direction to research further. if you keep doing this on a regular basis you will easily develop a virtual map in your mind and will always know where to find things when presented with a problem.

If you're interning at the Bombay office, anticipate a great experience with a vibrant culture and supportive colleagues that will provide you with ample learning opportunities. Conversely, if you're interning at the Delhi office, expect a similar environment to what you might find at AZB, with a slight reduction in intensity, around 1% or 2% less.

A person is tagged as abusive if he/ she wants associates to work. There have been multiple instances when a person cooks up the story after getting flaks from the seniors. I have known Abhishek for a longtime, and he is an exceptional lawyer. I have got so much to learn from him in each and every assignment that I have done with him.

Shameful!!! Blatantly illegal and immoral. This hatred of dogs in our country has become insane!! What security risk do these poor creatures pose?

This is not surprising in the least. ▮▮▮ The official reasons I imagine are different. There’s no effective mechanism within the firm to complain without fear of repercussions.

Whatever the backstory, I can 100% believe that the A0 was ill-treated. It takes guts to complain in general but extra guts in this case given the people involved.

I will have to disagree. I have worked as an assistant prof in one of the reputed private law schools before moving to a T1 NLU and I will have to say that there is considerable amount of difference in student quality. Yes, there will be a few brilliant students everywhere and a few absolutely shitty students in a T1 but the quality of average students is much higher here.

I've been familiar with the legal industry for quite some time, and I must say that tier I law firms are known for their intense environment. It's a place where the competition is fierce, and the pressure can be overwhelming. It's not for everyone, and not everyone thrives in such an environment.

I've also heard positive stories about the team at this tier I law firm. They've provided opportunities to many individuals who have not only grown professionally but also as individuals. The collaborative environment and mentorship have been instrumental in shaping successful careers, both within and outside the firm. It's worth mentioning that every workplace has its challenges, and it's crucial to maintain a balanced perspective. While we discuss the concerns raised by this person, let's also acknowledge the many achievements and supportive aspects of the team that have contributed to the success of so many.

Regarding the allegations made by this A0, it's essential to approach such claims with a balanced view. Allegations in a high-pressure work environment can sometimes be highly exaggerated or not entirely reflective of the team's conduct. It's essential to encourage transparency and dialogue to address these concerns properly. While some issues may exist, we should be cautious about jumping to conclusions without a complete understanding of the situation.

I genuinely hope that A0 learns from this experience, whether it was a genuine cry for help or a reaction to anticipated challenges. Ultimately, the legal profession is demanding, and it's crucial for individuals to find the right fit for their skills and temperament. Let's support one another in navigating these challenges and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

2) Structure of project finance ( Sponsor+SPV+senior lender)

3) Basic Contract, LD clauses Damanges, types of concession BOT TOT HAM etc

And you’re now the judge of whether someone has mental trauma or not? I interned with a highly abusive person at a T1, and no one could tell how bothered I was. There are several other aspects of this story which I don’t think you know either. Pretty rich to tell others to stop being a ‘judge and jury’ and literally being one yourself.

Absolutely correct! In the e-mail he blabbers that his professional achievements are being undermined. What are his professional achievements.... 2 - maximum 3 three years of experience. running from every organization at the drop of the hat! such people needs to learn patience!

The person is Linked to 3-4 companies. Holding partner postion or something like that. Then on all those pages there are ▮▮▮ followers and employees you can see yourself as on 20 k followers there is no engagement. Then employees account are 70-80 percent ▮▮▮ as there credentials are same. Then the person on crunchbase website claims that he attended Stanford college. All accounts which shows that they are working with him posted randome job posting which are not even related law. Also his mail it says that SLA(a famework company), in India person involved in legal profession can't establish any other business, famework claims to be a healthcare AI automation company.

It is very easy for you to sit here and pass judgment. If you want facts take it:

1. He left ▮▮▮ on his own accord because it didn’t get up, telling reasons here would not be professional - so it’s better to just be grateful to ▮▮▮; and then there was some personal tragedy for which he went back home.

How would a toxic person like you know what happened.

It’s easy to sit upon and judge others behavior.

Everybody has flaws so does he. But then there are cowards like you, who anonymously vent out grudge. Without knowing facts!!!

Personally believe this guy is on another planet. There are enough mechanisms in an organization to submit grievances and it is strictly confidential too. No point in venting out frustration on seniors in a resignation letter when you have probably got a better "deal" at the new company. Everyone understands the pressure in any privately help organization and onus is on the individual how he wants to chart his career. I think he is still in his college days and not know about challenges a organization has to face with cut throat competition and challenging deadlines. Naming and shaming individuals on public platform is highly unwelcomed approach by the individual who probably doesnot understand the nuances of running a business. I wish good luck to the guy but will back Abhishek, Shahrukh and Nupur mentioned in the email. I am sure they must have been frustrated with the regular negligent attitude of the person and surely would have protected him multiple times from direct fire of customers/clients. People really don't understand sometimes that respect is not snatched, it is earned and in this case the guy has 100% lost the plot and is no good to any organisation.

Thanks for suggesting MBA! But i want to stay in law.

I have women's quota reservation but i don't want to continue. The act of sitting at one place and studying with so much uncertainty is not suiting me anymore.

I want to work when I have the most energy to contribute, be a part of a community.

He can be called any thing but mature. Highly unprofessional, absented minded while completing deliverables. Was any ways going to be fired and saved himself with resignation instead. Any one can pick up a key board and write an e-mail increminating people. Stop being abusive.

I have had a similar situation, while I was associated with ...... Team in Trilegal. The Partner and Counsel, since both were dating, have made my life hell, as I took offence of a statement made by the Counsel.

Lets list down more instances which people must have gone through, and Janta should be aware of incidents, with firms like Trilegal, SAM, CAM, KCO, LUTHRA, SARAF, etc.

I have been part of this team for a while now and I can personally vouch for it that its one of the best teams I have worked with. What I feel is that Hardeep rallies everyone in his team along with him and nurtures each and everyone of us. To generalize and write such mean stuff can never be right. Seeing one side of the coin, making perception basis a disgrunted and mis guided person/ associate, who could not deliver in time even for one time or with 20% of what he was expected to do is highly wrong and not appreciated. This appears to be a media trail of sort, with people naming and shaming just to have fun or take some kind saddistic pleassure of a sought. What I see that Hardeep and all the Senior members in the team nurture and guide everyone in the team. We all believe in working hard and all of us are client centric. The goal is never to ask any associate or junior to do any thing which the senior asking dosen't do it himelf.

And no one forced the complianant to write an apology. ▮▮▮

If money is not an issue and you don't mind the campus infra just go for nlujs already don't know about the faculties but defn better placements n peer group also trust me you don't wanna be stuck in gandhinagar for 5 f years it's a dead ghost town with absolutely nothing to do

If just want a car to show off or act as a p***y magnet, then go for a BMW. Else even a desi small car is fine. Our roads are rubbish anyway and you can rarely go beyond 30 km an hour.

Also a warning: do you really want to date girls who judge you by your car? I once met a girl who made a comment saying that she is only impressed with guys who drive BMWs, Jags and Mercs, and considers Audis to be downmarket. Maybe she made the comment in jest, but I took it as a warning and decided against asking her out.
