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?
Also, the HR does not understand M&A/PE/VC. She only understands Gen Corp and gen corp includes labour and employment, TMT, Real Estate and all other allied practice areas. So practice area in SAM is mostly on luck.
I have secured an internship with SAM Delhi. I had applied for the M&A, PE/VC and GC areas. However, my acceptance letter did not specify which practice area/team I'll be working with. Upon inquiry, I was told that I will be allotted the practice area based on my preference on my date of joining – although I am a bit sceptical of this. Anyone who has interned recently, have you had a similar experience? Were you allotted a team in your preferred area at the end?
