Hi, is there any group (whatsapp/telegram) where vacancies are posted (specific to bombay lawyer chambers) or bombay litigation firms? Such groups exists for Delhi but haven not come across any such group for Bombay.
The thing about the Appellate side is it is relatively difficult for a Counsel with 8-12 yrs practice (i.e. young enough to mentor interns) to have yet earned enough to strike out on their own. Some O.S. junior Counsel like Mayur Khandeparkar, Rebello, Vishal Kanade have legacy Appellate side work.
Otherwise the Appellate side bar is dominated by Senior Counsel of more than 30 years standing such as Milind Sathe, S.U. Kamdar, Dhakephalkar, Anturkar, Girish Kulkarni and G.S. Godbole.
You can try and seek our Counsel who get briefed in Family Court Appeals and Bombay City Civil Court/Small Causes Court appeals. For particular reasons, the trial work in this field is concentrated among Bombay solicitor firms who are more likely to brief their known O.S. junior counsel even for the Appellate side work.
Mayur Khandeparkar - Have heard nothing but good things. Seen him appear in a lot of Appellate Side matters but has matters on the original side as well.
Rashmin Khandekar and Hiren Kamod - For IP related work. Just have a look at Hiren's webinars- incredibly informative.
Aditya Mehta, Karl Shroff, Karl Tamboly, Rohaan Cama - Original Side
Virag Tulzapurkar, Venkatesh Dhond, Dinyar Madon if your intetest is old school commercial trial litigation/IP law/Securities litigation and insolvency work.
Prasad Dhakephalkar, Milind Sathe, S.U. Kamdar if you're also interested in Writ Petition work/constitutional law and Civil Appeal work. Lots of old scholarships property litigation and litigation against Government at these Chambers.
Among the relative junior Counsel, try Vishal Kanade, Ankit Lohia, Rohan Savant, Mayur Khandeparkar.
Mahesh Jethmalani is a fantastic lawyer but I don't think his chamber is very equipped to interns...meaning you may not have the most fruitful experience in that regard.
Dear Litigators please join telegram group - help us land a place in chamber - https://t.me/+dsCulRI03YpjMDg1

Would add Mr. Shyam Kapadia's name to your last sentence.
Who are the good lawyers on the Appellate side who mentor juniors.
