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.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1. What all Qs should I expect for the interview (if some of the Qs asked can be shared it would be appreciated)?
2. The interview is taken by whim- Partner, PA, SA or the HR?
3. How long does the interview last?
4. What are the chances of getting an Internship post the internship?
5. What should be location preference in terms of PPO?
6. Which Teams have the max no. of vacancies right now?
Please Please make this thread genuine, it would not only help me but also other law students in the future who can see useful info from here. Let's make the best use of LI
PS: There have been rumours of mass firing recently at Khaitan, supposedly because there was a mass hiring first up, and then the converse happened due to the firm not having much work. Not sure about this though. Better to talk to some of your friends (if any who are already in KCo) and also do your due diligence.
2. An HR which will be shadowed by 2 other team members (1 Counsel and 1 Partner in my case)
3. Not more than 15 minutes if you are able to tackle things effectively.
4. Completely depends on the team; expect a lot of competition for the GC team since everybody want to go for the same. Banking & Finance seems like a more viable option at KCO to be very honest considering the fact that the attrition is high and chances of getting a PPO shall increase manifold (specifically in the Bombay office).
5. Mumbai only. A lot of these law firms have college cults and PPOs are rolled out in teams to mostly those who come from the same law school as the managing partner(s)/key team members since they find it easier to be "seen" and to establish a strong flair with the team as a whole; which again is not always merit based.
6. Banking & Finance, Projects, Tax & Competition (Please do not target Capmarks, GC or Disputes since a lot of PPOs for the same have been rolled out in December of last year).
Best of luck!!!
