We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Happy holidays
Also, some quick clarifications in the interest of ACCURACY:
1. The stipend number stated by one of the commenters - INR 21,000 for a 6 weeks internship - is correct. This has been our stipend for well more than a year. Prior to that, it was INR 12,000 for 6 weeks.
2. We certainly don't limit internship opportunities or recruitment opportunities to NLUs or people with "references". We are an equal opportunity firm and we have interns, associates and partners from diverse law schools/colleges, and from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
3. We have a robust and very structured internship programme with internship slots through the year. There is a LOT of competition for both our internship and recruitment slots that are disproportionately higher than the vacancies we have, and hence, we do have to regretfully turn down several applicants. That is possibly the same situation with most good law firms.
Happy Holidays!
They mainly do PE/VC transactions for investors. However, they might not be open to hiring at the moment. I think they are running at full capacity.
