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.

Apollo.io
1. Go to Apollo.io, get their premium plan (for 14 days its free, then you can renew it by providing new email address).
2. Put filter in (eg Delhi, Law, or Delhi, Law practice).
Voila, you have thousands of results at your disposal now. Now what should be done?
3. Get an excel sheet.
4. Input name of the firm, in second column, the email/portal, in third notes (relating to practice area) in fourth, add the response
5. Now go to every law firm/law office one by one. Conduct due diligence, see their practice area, customize the cover letter and send the application away.
You will have thousands of law offices to choose from (As in where to apply). Keep applying.
Keep a track of ALL the applications that you send out.
Sooner or later you WILL get a callback. The trick is to not get disheartened. Start with Tier 1/2 and move on to next tiers when things do not work out.
2-3 years in tier 3/4 will easily make your eligible for tier 1/2 (through recruiters or contacts).
10-20,000 are nothing in long run, for 1-2 years, try to learn as much as you can and Tier 3-4 firms can teach you just as much as T1 or T2.
Dont lose heart. Keep applying.
Himmat e marda, madad e khuda
1. Go proper route (uploading CV and all)
2. If 1. doesnt work, then email HR
3. If 2. doesnt work then email HR head personally.
4. If 3. doesnt work then email the partner (of the team that you are looking to work in, not mindlessly).
Luckily i didnt have to go past step 1.
There are always steps to take.
Bhai/Behen do not worry, ye anxiety kuch nahi hai, sab thik hoga. Tum itni English bol lete ho/padh lete ho, bhooke nahi soge, you will get something (this is not me being elitist but if you can speak/write half decent English, Law Firm is no rocket science). Baaki kaam seekh loge.
