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?
A better alternative would be to intern at NGOs - PCGT, Navjyoti Foundation, CRY, Legal Aid Clinic [of your college] etc. You can find more by checking profiles on Linkedin.
Any partners at ELP, LKS, SAM/CAM, DMD Adv, Saraf, Khaitan, or NDA to especially look out for? Also, how is the Trilegal [del/bom] tax team?
- ensure that your CV is crisp and to the point [not more than 2/3 pages]
- it would be better to figure out what "corporate law" division you are interested in [Gen Corp or M&A etc.] so that you can frame your cover letter in that manner
- a firm is going to accept you only if you have some prior work experience in that subject area - so if this is the first time you are applying for a corp law internship then it is unlikely a big law firm will choose you. try finding tier 4 or 5 law firms and start down there - you will build up your CV quick
- honestly, it is a hassle to get internships rn - if you dont have connections, it is indeed difficult - "its not a you problem"
- ppl have already started getting internship confirmation for this year, so it would be best to ask for months near June-August [if possible try choosing a month during which fewer colleges have vacation]
i hope you do find something! I am drowning myself :(
