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. PA takes it along with the HR. HR usually doesn't ask much, but may chime in at times- why law? why commercial law and the likes, depends on the HR.
2. Know your CV from top to bottom, no point studying anything and everything, but what you've written you should know. For instance, if you have listed "drafted NDAs" in your CV, you will have to know stuff about liquidated damages, receiving party-centric clauses, what are the usual exceptions in NDAs etc. If you have written about copyright and assignment agreements, what section of the Copyright Act, 1957 allows you to assign your copyright. All of that honestly, nothing too deep so don't worry.
3. Know why you want to do the practice area you have chosen. For instance, I said I liked M&A, and they asked me why M&A and I said it sounded cool and corporate-y, it made them laugh so brownie points for that!
