I've been interning at a certain T1 firm and have often come across partners and associates alike talk about "LI gossips". How common is it? One of them jokingly warned all interns not to make posts on LI about a funny office incident.
out Consti prof who is quite named reads a lot and spend about 15 mins every class ranting about LI. Even know 1 senior advocate who comes here once every week just for the moolah. Partners regularly come here, as they dump all their work on associates and take the money as well. Partnership comes with perks huh.
Yes, we read this all the time, so that we know what to buy (there was a good tip of avoiding Rados and Audis because both are gaudy), and which places to avoid (all social climbers/ associates are now making a beeline for Chambers, we heard). For boats, we have the Telegram group.
Chambers is NOT for social climbers. If you read the news, former ASG and big host lawyer Atmaram Nadkarni is a member and hosted Mahua Moitra’s birthday party there, which Shashi Tharoor also attended. Do they sound like social climbers to you?
There's a well known saying:
"Go to LI for the watch, RBYC for the yacht".
