I’ve recently joined a Law Firm (Boutique, New Delhi) which specialises in Arbitration and a bit of Transactional work. I’ll be joining in July 2023 (Through a Campus Placement, Non - NLU, batch of 2023, First Gen. Lawyer). Pay is average.
My academic records are good and I’ve got good internships too, I got through Khaitan for an internship at the end of my 9th Sem with a referral from my previous Boss, got a stellar feedback from my Buddy and all the SAs and Associates from departments in which I worked but by that time all vacancies at the particular office had been filled up (HR told me the hiring for 2023 batch has already been done)
I’ll be joining a Boutique Law Firm in New Delhi and I plan to switch after 1.5 - 2 Years to a better law firm (preferably Tier 1, 2 or 3). I’ve read previously in LI that cold emailing partners and then applying through the website may work. I’ll also try to make connections as I proceed through.
If you guys have any tips, do let me know!
Thanks!
(As a First Gen. Lawyer, and Non-NLU pass out I have no connections and everything I did, was the best I could do. If you guys can help, it would be absolutely wonderful)
