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?
1. Yes I have left AZB.
2. Yes I am setting up independently and will be focusing on international tax and private client work going forward.
3. Yes I am actively looking to hire, particularly if you love direct tax or are good generalists. Interns with the above profile are welcome also, but I’m only taking one or two a month. Feel free to look me up on LinkedIn for contact information + ask folks who’ve worked with me before if you’d like feedback. I’d like to think I run happy teams.
4. I’m currently pegging pay scales at a 20% discount to Tier 1 scales and interns get a 10K stipend per month. Again, pls ask if you’d like to know. Pay related questions are important and I’m happy to be upfront about them.
Mods, please make sure to clear this and feel free to get in touch if you need to verify that it’s me. Thx
Never worked with you directly, but have admired your work ethic and capabilities. Best wishes, we'll all be hyping you :)
I am a batch of 2025 student and my area of interest is taxation, international taxation particularly. I am open to learn and explore more.
I have a few questions.
What is the hiring process?
What is the exact pay scale you'll be offering?
Are you looking to hire for the 2025 batch?
Are you looking for long-term interns?
1. Hiring process: Hiring is through internships. I'm taking one or two interns a month. They work with me closely and are selected on the basis of a technical round. All internships are assessment internships. All internships are eligible to a stipend (see above). That being said, I'm not planning to hire in huge numbers (only hiring 2 freshers in 2024, for eg.) so there's a one in 12 chance (maybe less than that) that internships will convert.
2. Pay Scale: 20% discount to Tier 1 scales. We are in the process of mapping what that means based on LI and other data. Let's speak - I recognise the importance of pay transparency so there are no unwelcome questions/ interventions.
3. Hiring for 2025: Yes
4. Long-term interns: Not sure. Let's speak.
I was trying to look up, but could not find, where your offices are in Bangalore. Would be great if someone could tell.
