Funds, Employment, Private Client and TMT. Avoid Insolvency/B&PF, Capmarks and Real Estate.
Funds is interesting, but employment is such a boring practice have so many laws that regulate always have to be updated. Private client is nothing but wills and trusts and more often than not the partners in this practice area are nepo. TMT? There hasn’t come an act or law in place so all they do is legal advice and contract basis advisory.
Lack of statutory basis leads to more ambiguity, which calls for redressal by coordination with the governments. Considering the slack work in government offices, it creates a lot of work for Law firms. Why do you think Trilegal is where is it now.
'all they do', lol. Just this takes 50 hours of me each week. Sass aside, the advisory work can be some of the interesting things law has to offer because the queries and assessments can be for some weird sci fi operation that a company does. Certainly beats most other law work in my view. Although international clients tend to offer more unique scope - though this'll get better now with the data bill.
Hey

Okay, nil practices are interesting. They become interesting when you work with the brightest minds, develop expertise, and than the brightest minds seek your counsel.

I know the question states corporate teams but litigation, arbitration and general dispute resolution is usually pretty juicy after a couple of years. Especially when its court day.. Oh and the Delhi HC canteen - mind blowing even after all these years :)
Hard disagree. TMT, White Collar Crime, Private Client, Environmental advisory etc. are super fascinating areas.
Anything, but bhai real estate se bhag...did that and succha dry practice. Long hours and just boring same making reports for scrutiny also tital searches. Learn the job in 1 week and do the same copy paste for daily 12-14 hours. This is real estate non lit.
When you join law firms, you’re just a small cog in a big wheel. So your work will mostly be dry and boring.

What may make it interesting are the people you work with, or some actual legal discussion about some grey area with your team members - which may not even go into the legal document or opinion you are preparing.

Also, here’s a better strategy - instead of trying to find β€˜interesting’ practice areas, go to office, finish your work, come home and pursue a hobby which you genuinely like. Nothing beats the creativity and passion you have for something you are already interested in.

All the best!
