No biscuits in the pantry because they literally give proper snacks instead of dry cookies that you’d be shy to take after 2nd one.
Only LKS office where you can eat non veg.
Why CAs are even allowed to practice in courts? Can't BCI come up with something to bar them from practising? They must have dual degrees right?

Yes. Best in terms of quality of work, commitment to client and loyalty.
Lots of lawyers from LKS switch to ELP, which also has a very large IDT practice. ELP's IDT practicce is slightly better than LKS's in terms of work and much better in terms of pay. I think 1/3 of IDT lawyers at ELP are from LKS. ELP keeps poaching the good ones from LKS.

Nothing like that. They don’t check your Swiggy/Zomato parcels or your tiffin. I eat non-veg almost daily in the office till date i had no issue. (mumbai office)

PS - just don’t tell anyone in office (especially seniors) that you have non veg here and it will be fine.

And how do you know that ? You work there ?
Haha only the CA topper that you are talking about is a good man....for the rest, I better not open my mouth
The pay at Legalyst Advocates initially might be less but later on as you gain experience it will match industry standards of any T1/T2.
True. Sachin mishra ▮▮▮. He opened his new firm Legalyst Advocates along with other partners from LKS which is now trending in market for taxation and litigation practice.

Corp practice is dull and non existent. Sometimes they do well.

Its false. They were the most happening and cheerful people in the firm.

I think in terms of work culture and experience Legalyst Advocates is better it is founded by ex-LKS who have worked there more than 8-9 years. Its a relatively new firm but sometimes there are better growth opportunities at such firms.

Pune resident and fellow advocate (A1) here. Work hours are more or less same as Bombay level but pay wise there's absolutely nothing.
hi - just wanted to know if you applied through the website portal or any other email-address.
heard from a friend who interned at the Chandigarh LKS office that WLB was terrible - associates had to stay at the office quite late - apparently, the atmosphere was horrible and no one talked to each other because they were all swamped with work.
Does anybody have any idea about LKS Chennai? How about the work environment? I'll be interning there for a month shortly... In the IPR wing.
Can anyone let me know if it's a Monday-Friday working or Monday to Saturday? Starting internship there soon, and there are conflicting reports on the Internet.
What about LKS HYDERABAD office? Any information about what they pay to an A0?
How is the Mumbai office? I am going to start internship their in August (Indirect Tax).
How is the work culture at the Chennai office? Is it better than their Mumbai office?
Dude, not yelling should not be your or anybody's standard for a good work environment. Pull your standards out of the gutter, please.
Are law graduates (T1) at a disadvantage compared to CAs when it comes to hiring for the direct tax teams?
What is the pay range for A0? is it different across the teams?
well it is better in DT as compared to IDT
I wish if that was so simple to switch from IDT to any other practice area, after you have spent a good 3+ years in this field. Your options become very restricted after a certain point of time because you are branded as being a tax lawyer.
Any examples of such a move? Tax litigation is too technical and specific for any mobility imho
The GC team has good and consistent work. The work culture is far better and relaxed than what I've experienced at many T1s- there's kafi peace
Have a couple more questions.
1. Is the indirect tax work segregated by sector or law or transactional / litigation?

2. Is the work life balance for indirect tax team good as well?
Unless you can switch to Disputes/Commercial Lit from IDT Lit.
largely soft spoken and people mind their own business. Partners own the work, as a matter of fact.

Pay is less, but so is the work in comparison.
The GC and M&A practice is going good. Quite a bit of work.
Why this thread isn't getting attention like other law firm posts? Bump!!
What's the work culture like in LKS? Is it better than tier law firms majority of which treat humans as corporate slaves? Moreover, is there any particular office which is better than the other ones?
