I am a corporate lawyer, specialising in M&A and PE transactions, with 1.3 years of PQE and I had completed my education from a Tier-3 NLU. I have been trying to switch my job since June, with no effect. Although I had interviewed with Phoenix Legal and Khaitan & Co., things did not work out unfortunately. The main reason for me switching my job is that I have hit my plateau at my current organisation, with no more real growth opportunity as most of the times I sit free without any real mind work. Also, the pay is not as per the market standards and work is dumped at any time of the day with fake urgent timelines.
So, here I am, asking for suggestions for Tier-1/Tier-2 law firms which are hiring currently for A1 level in Delhi NCR. I would be really grateful if you can recommend me firms with real corporate, M&A and PE work, good mentorship from seniors, approachable and helpful Partners and good working environment. I know, work-life balance is a myth in corporate law, but still a reasonable balance which firms follow. Names of the partners or someone from the team whom I can approach would be really appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
