For example, most international law firms give Associates a wide range of benefits such as dental plans, insurance, more holidays, mental support, dress allowance, advances etc
So rather than comparing Trilegal with international firms, do check with your colleagues in other T1 firms in India. I think only KCO comes close with it LexFlex program but this may again be subject to international mobility restrictions due to visa and tax.
In comparison, Trilegal is not paying a single penny towards your education. All they are promising is that they will hold your place in the firm and not terminate your employment.
You guys are so gullible to fall for such PR.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope this is helpful as an indication.
This is a example for other firms to follow. For example after Trilegal raised the pay for A0 in 2023, all firms followed suit in 2024.
The stick is not shown.
That will be on the timesheet management side.
Indian law firm: "Haan, haan, theek hain. You do your LLM in AI, BI, CI or whatever nonsense, with your own money. We won't sack you and you can join when you're back."
Simps on LI: "Indian law firms are so awesome and progressive!" 🥰🥰🥰
Like many of its counterparts, Trilegal has implemented several measures to curb attrition. One key initiative Gorthi highlights is a programme that allows qualified associates who go abroad for their masters degrees, to return without a break in seniority. “Many of the young lawyers returned to the firm,” he notes.
In addition to increased remuneration and transparent compensation rules, Trilegal introduced business tracking mechanisms “to identify and ease the burden of overworked associates”, says Gorthi. The law firm also offers wellness initiatives, such as mental health counselling, to support their team.
Having adopted these measures, Trilegal’s attrition rate has fallen to under 20%, which is comparable to the global average of 18% but low compared to most Indian law firms. “A significant portion of early-career attrition is due to individuals realising law isn’t for them, or wanting to pursue in-house or litigation roles,” Gorthi adds.
How much PQE is required, any insiders from Trilegal please bump
