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?
This is a follow-up. It's been some time.
I will try to keep it short. I come from a non-nlu university (undisputedly the first line in every LI cry-for-help post, I think) and I never had the opportunity to intern with those big guzzling corporate law firms even after "decillion" attempts. These rejections never affected me but they did push me towards litigation while all this time I hoped for a career in corporate. So, bits and crumbs for experience in corporate.
Anyway, (to make things worse) I graduated this year; with the same fate and the same determination. I made a list of all the law firms and started applying. My rejections were obvious and evident but I don't intend to give up as I have clouds and mountains for dreams. I am still at hunt, but while I am at it, I also started working in litigation, just to keep myself sane. Pay is peel of the peanut but the work keeps me busy (and I am learning something everyday at least). However, I don't intend to keep working in Litigation. I don't think litigation experience holds any value for such firms and thereby I have decided to start afresh. I believe it is not too late, I will apply to every kind of law firm handling transactions or Cap Markets or PE&VC and for that I need help and suggestions from everyone here at LI.
So, pls help me with any leads or names of such law firms where hiring is rather easy and immediate.
Thank You!
