Looking to explore private client practice. What is the scope and hiring prospects like?

Unless you're from an old lawyer/prominent old-school business family (by prominent, I mean the business group is worth around 1000 crores or more), you won't progress much. The first few years will be fun, estate planning, trust law, meeting scions of big business families, etc. But this practice area runs on trust and familiarity above all else - Zia, (Rishabh) Shroff et al are valued for the legacy they represent. Its almost impossible to break into those circles. Outsiders however talented will invariably be relegated to the incidental tax side of these mandates. Exception could be tech/startup founder clientele, but that's quite niche so far.

You have to be the son/daughter of the managing partner

SNG, Veritas and CAM put in great work in this space.

i am ready to sleep through this if get the role.
