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?
Trilegal does pay around that ballpark, though you will be considered to be an employee, and won't have a retainer. (Basically bahaut tax katega. [I work here now])
Solomon & Co is inadvisable to go to as an A1 because they need someone to do basically everything for them. You need to be at least an A3 to take on that role. (I rejected an offer from them for the same reason)
Argus is decent but again, you will be considered to be an employee. The culture is easy going, and Aarti is fun to work with. (Been invited to join them a few times)
2. There is a very small banking and finance team (▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ refuses to do banking mandates anymore, and they have hired ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮, to take over the reins ▮▮▮) ▮▮▮. There is little to no work at times, but when there's work, it's raining work.
3. Pay - decent.
4. Culture - BAD. ▮▮▮
As someone who used to work there, I can tell you that K Law is not a place to start your career at. It's best for lawyers who have given up on their drive and zest for the law but want to take it slow now.
The job encompasses a wide variety of tasks like market research, social media, strategy, law firm relationships (if you're in a T1 and have Partners with connections to a lot of international law firms), submissions (a big part of PD/BD), league tables (also a big part of the job), analysis and recommendations for events, for participation, sponsoring, and/or speaking, etc.
While this position isn't necessarily for lawyers, a lot of individuals with law degrees opt to pursue this career path. One may also be eligible to work in PD/BD in law firms if they're well versed in marketing, possibly hold an MBA, and have relevant experience at Big 4 consultancy companies.
Personally, I have a degree in marketing, an LL.B and an LL.M, and I work in this vertical (ironically started out at Bharucha. Barf.). You can follow a bunch of people on LI to get a better idea of this side of legal services.
