We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
And yet - when we got our management email to announce increments- it reads as -"It has been indeed a very difficult year for India, business, industry...yada yada yada....., we have had to make lost of sacrifices...". They happily increased our fixed fee just enough to beat inflation (but not really since the cost of onions and tomato's has gone up 3 folds)
So in terms of pure ability to control the narrative for all fee earners, lets consider the upcoming increments and hopefully 100% bonus payments (which hasn't been revised mind you) as the only Indian Covid bonus we will ever get.
Of course if you are chosen, this doesn't apply and then you get paid, and have simpler and happier lives
We're not even getting our retainers thanks to Covid
Now all lalas will begrudgingly have to copy us. LMAO. More power to trilegal!!!! Haters gonna hate!

All Trilegal staff and lawyers were paid a one time bonus equivalent to the monthly salary while lawyers who have joined recently or are on probation were paid a bonus equivalent to half their monthly salary.
Came as a surprise to all of us. Kudos to the firm. Brilliant gesture in these trying times.
