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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1) Which of these are made for legal professionals or in which of these services do they induct legal professionals (i mean there are a lot of services like management and IT consulting or accounting advisory where lawyers are not needed)
2) There are different pays in different teams, do you have any idea, which teams pay the most and which ones don’t? Any idea around what the pay is for any team or service?
3) Assuming these firms require a lot of knowledge in risk, compliance, contract management, contract drafting etc and these are skills that we are not taught in law schools, how does one accustom oneself with these as a law student? Are there credible online certifications that add value to your profile like CA, CS etc?
4) How is the work culture in different teams and work-life balance compared to a law firm?
5) Any other pros/cons/insight which could be valuable
You need answer all of them, but even if you could provide partial insights on any of these it would be a huge favour
Thanks in anticipation. Stay hydrated.
