How much do the top IP firms pay freshers? For full service firms, is the pay equal across practice areas?
At Khaitan & Co, it is almost 1/2 of what other practices get. And if you're a lateral hire, no pay correction is done. It's pathetic.
For KCO IP, freshers/A0s can make 80k-1L p.m. + 1.6L - 2L as bonus. This is less than other teams like Corp/Disputes and more than most boutique firms who rarely pay more than 50k p.m.
Thank you so much. Do you have any idea about LKS, Anand, and Remfry?
Cannot confirm about salary but can confirm that bonus is less than 1.6L for a fresher
Who are the good partners to work for? What do you think will someone not coming from a Tier 1 be offered with say maybe 5 years of experience, if selected?
Look up Managing IP/ Legal500, ALB rankings for IP transactions.
Yes, both are great at transactions. Nirupam does a fair bit of litigation as well. Adheesh, Smriti and Nishad have pretty good practices and teams as well. Ankur has probably the best IP litigation practice in all of Delhi across Tier 1s, even better than some boutiques.
