Litigation pay (for freshers) sucks across South - Pay is even lower in Kerala because of the lack of good quality work (Commercial Litigation/Arbitration)
Corporate Law Firms don't exist (with a few exceptions of representative offices) as most work is outsourced to Bangalore or Mumbai based firms and lack of industries or Businesses in the state. Most chambers do a mix of civil & some criminal Litigation. Even Arbitration matters of big Kerala companies happen in Mumbai/Chennai - not in Kochi.
The best paymasters for freshers are -
Menon & Pai - 25K Veritas Legal - 25 K Senior Advocate Kaleeshwaram Raj - 20K Other Designated Seniors - 15 to 25K.
There are Designated Seniors who don't pay more than 5K per month, but you can always jump ship after getting an year of experience.
There is tough competition for these jobs - as 3000 students graduate from Kerala's Law College's an year - and several others from College's LIKE NLU's, Symbi & Christ who have good language & research skills also try to land in the same jobs.
