Don’t worry at all. I am a partner at a tier 1 law firm and let me tell you that all law firms are looking out for good talent. If you are ready to put in the effort, and willing to go that extra mile to make up for the break, then trust me you will do wonders. All the firms care about is the hunger to learn and your work ethic. All the best
What nonsense. At least learn to lie properly. Being shouted at, screamed at, and being hammered for formatting errors is what actually occurs. Nobody really cares for the learning.
If they really cared about “people who take the extra mile” and have hunger then they should really stop preferential treatment in hiring rich/entitled brats from NLUs. It is always the folks who have sacrificed and faced hardships in their lives to overcome all the stereotypes and hindrances who have the hunger and desire naturally to work hard and do well. But hey let’s just see if he is from NLU and ok he is hired!
All is well?Really?The man who refuses to stop treating lawyers of his firm like slaves ,goes about giving lectures of "world-class global legal system" when it's an open secret that top law firms like his are lobbying no end to ensure obstruction to entry of foreign law firms in India.All is certainly never well in such a system
And no law firms are totally not looking for talent. And as observed in the NLU v Non NLU discussion below, useless guys, that's not the issue, being from a tier 1 NLU. The truth is, these so proclaimed tier 1,2 firms only hire through CONTACTS, even newer firms like Saraf, Ive had several batchmates who in the opinion of most are totally lacking any semblance of talent or even interest in law, but land 2 tier 1s in their 2nd year. People openly discuss which partner/ SA "got them" an internship.
The HR at these firms are also involved totally. They reject all perusal applications by an automatic reply, even the forms and assessments in their website are pure sham. It's not just me, Ive had friends with excellent grades, best internships, and publications rejected just because "slots were filled" even 7 months prior to the asking date.
Even if they hire through placement cells, it's really few compared to the former pathway. It's so common to suck upto partners for contacts.
And you come and say you value merit? talent? Big words tier 1 partner.
Can you at least look at your counterparts in the US or UK, where managing partners don't hold onto 60 percent equity in their firms and from personal experience (got rejected, but saw friends), they do totally look at talent. I for once applied to a firm named above, for a time period 6 months later, and the rejection reason states that the slots are full?
If you do this stuff, atleast have the decency to acknowledge it.

Hi, sorry you had to try multiple times - did it give a 500 error or a 'realname' error? Did it lose your draft comment? We were just rolling out some updated version and fixing a bug, so that might have interfered, will look at improving the update process in future so it won't interfere with writing comments.
