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?
▮▮▮ A very hierarchy driven place, therefore, the junior folks in the team (including SA-1’s) are treated in a very bad way. One wrong and your MA or SA will complaint about you to the partners (yes, they still behave as if they are in school). A lot of times partners put juniors on hook and remind them that they can loose job in a second.
From money aspect, they are truly generous. Also, worth noting that I have personally not worked in a tier-1 law firm, so may be culture is bad at all places.
If you are happy at your current firm, and really not sure if you want to come here or not. Then please don’t come. You will be disappointed.
