but from your style of writing, what is a seamless partner? that word is usually used for clothes/ innerwear.
While I do regret leaving T1 NLUs for NMIMS, he was once invited to one our events. Reached on time, extremely polite and humble, spoke to as many students as he could (individually). No arrogance, No snobby attitude, No "I look down upon you since you are an intern/law student" attitude.
He was delighted to judge all my colleagues on the basis of their merit rather than college. He informed us that he was looking for Khaitan & Co. to have Interns who know how to work and have fun at the same time. Some of us (without connections) got into Khaitan & Co. because he agreed to judge us on the basis of our CV rather than how grand was his welcome/treatment from our college.
He is one of those people who you know are humble just on the basis of how they speak to those who haven't reached their stature.
Wonderful lawyer, and an even better human being!
Always been a great mentor (as an SA/Counsel and now Partner)
Works through the night with the team - doesn’t leave us alone. Also capable of partying through the night after back to back all nighters at work.
God level insaan
This stems from the top. As others - nothing against Harsh specifically - but he does tell his new associates that the same mid levels are to be "treated as clients". Sure, give associates (who were likely trained under same toxic conditions) - with no knowledge of management nor leadership nor proper mentorship, nor any consequences for handling said entrant - complete and utter control over clueless A0s, with at best a superficial understanding of the corporate world. What could go wrong! Lord help you if there are at all any personal issues in your life at that time.
Vinu is an absolute gem. Heard his team has a positive environment too.
Everyone in funds team leaves by 8.
Non-toxic work culture. Everyone is helpful.
Informal groups are well knit and friendly.

A great mentor and a better person. Humble, kind, and humorous!

"She [Parikh] termed the conduct of Nirav Modi as treacherous and reprehensible and mentioned that their firm may initiate legal proceedings at an appropriate time for his (Nirav Modi) improper conduct."
No matter how.interesting or well paid the work of this team, I think nost people will run away from it.

Approachable, reasonable, and kind. Great mentor to have.
Maybe time that they shifted priorities from Timely and Intapp to timely empathy and being nice.
Do you even know what the word means?
RB is also a recognised name in the industry now for tax work.
He is the star amongst most of the associate.
- R
He is extremely thorough with the provisions of the Act and regulations as if these are on his fingertips. A protege sort of a person.
From corporate side, I really like sayak but sadly he chose to move away.
1. Majority of reviews are by juniors who hardly have any idea about corporate law - let's face it, however smart and rockstar you were back in college, this job requires something more than that. So, effectively for every partner, there will be both positive and negative reviews (or may be likes or dislikes).
2. A general nature about the partner is relevant - toxic ones, but those are few and are present in almost every law firm. Rest all partners behave depending upon situations. So, a nicest partner will shout at you, if you do something stupid or make yourself irrelevant.
3. Lastly, (this comment will definitely be the most disliked one) as an associate and senior associate, don't even think about work like balance, if you want to really do well in this field. Everyone has slogged for years to reach at the partnership level. If you want work like balance, please apply for sarkari naukri.
No-nonsense but very supportive, backs her team.
But in a nutshell, the intent behind moderation is reflected in the placeholder text before you leave a comment, which (vague though they admittedly are) we try to use as the fundamental basis for (admittedly imperfect) moderation decisions:
Quote:
To the uninitiated: when joining a law firm, do your due diligence. If a team always has vacancies, chances are, the person at the helm is toxic or permits/enables toxicity. And yes, HR lie. Of course, beggars can't be choosers, so if you're not exactly someone with options, you may have to take what you get, assuming that's what you want.
Hands down the best 🥺😁
