I am not very sure how to enter into this realm as what I have noticed is they reject for not having enough experience.
Anyone here has any suggestions as to how to get started?
2. Get a job at a specialized firm/T2/T1 and work there for 3-4 years for the sake of work experience.
Since you will be client facing at the A2/A3 stage, build a rapport with your external legal counsel and open up about the intention to switch to their department; considering all the ramifications that will come with it since there is no going back from there.
3. Since your niche is IBC - look out for ARCs, NBFCs, Funds and Banks based out of Mumbai since thats where the B&F/R&I opportunities in the legal roles are to a large extent.
Lastly, although going in-house is a huge pay cut from the law firm life (unless you are a GC or head of legal), choose what you want since the grind at Indian firms are not worth it.
Best of luck, hope this helps!
Having said that, if you want to grow in Finance MBA Fin is the best bet
