Hi guys, I will be applying for internships. I know that someone works at some team and may know whether the team is hiring or not. Could you anonymously tip on which team of your firm, which office location, firm is hiring (I like CM though, from a Tier 1 NLU)

CAM, SAM, Indus, Trilegal, Khaitan, S&R Associates, JSA.

L&L, Saraf, ELP, Bharucha, any other firm.

This will really help us understand.

Let me start this

CAM Noida Corp- Not hiring

Saraf CM- Not hiring

1) Indus CM Mumbai - always hiring, aggressively offers call backs (avoid Delhi and BLR for CM)

2) KCO CM Mumbai - mass recruiter, always hires freshers due to heavy attrition

3) KCO CM Bangalore - very small team, not hiring

4) KCO CM Noida - very small team, not hiring

5) SAM CM Delhi - despite the attrition they are not hiring

6) SAM CM Mumbai/Delhi NCR - offered a lot of callbacks, might be looking to hire

7) JSA CM Mumbai - laterals preferred, freshers not entertained, not hiring

8) JSA CM Delhi NCR - very small team, not hiring

9) Bharucha CM Mumbai - very small team, not hiring

10) S&R CM Mumbai - very selective for internships, no clue

11) CAM CM Mumbai - very selective for internships, no clue

12) TT&A CM Mumbai - very selective for internships, no clue

13) L&L CM Delhi - not hiring because of huge intake last year

14) Trilegal CM Mumbai - simply avoid, too many people, very little work, no clue about hiring

15) Saraf CM Mumbai - not hiring

@kian please pin this thread, as literally 80% audience at LI is asking for this information. Also for seniors levels, people can mention laterals etc.

How this helps

1. Knowledge of hiring and internship strategy and not getting misled by HR.

2. Knowing the partner and attrition patterns

For firms

3. Knowledge common will increase changes of better candidates and not restrict to a few

IndusLaw made a lot of offers last year - just look at the Capital Markets and GC/Transactions hiring last year across offices. Nonetheless, they are known to be very selective as far as PPOs & callbacks are concerned. While the Mumbai office has been very aggressive with callbacks and assessments, Delhi and Bangalore teams tend to be small (having lesser scope for bagging offers). Best of luck!
