An intern is treated as an associate and not an intern in this firm remarks a fifth year student in an internship review on Lawctopus. The work is extremely organised and folders with a timeline are distributed to the interns on joining. The firm has a mentor system; the mentor helps the intern with any problems and they also go for a mentor lunch. <ref> |Insane timings, Healthy Stipends & 'More than just an intern' treatment </ref>

The firm only likes "national law school types" and a non-nlu student does not get any work. If a student does not know something they are laughed at comments a final year student in the internship survey.
RSG India
RSG India writes:"Founded by four National Law School graduates in 2000, Trilegal has become the exemplar of a modern, progressive and equitable new generation of Indian law firm. The firm tied-up with Allen & Overy in 2008, but the relationship is not exclusive. It is one of only two firms with a pure lockstep model in India, and clients say it has had some success building a second tier of younger partners. While its profile amongst Indian top corporates is not yet firmly established, most feel the firm is still on the rise. After three partners left to set up Phoenix Legal in 2008, clients feel its greatest challenge is to scale up in terms of size and expertise."<ref>http://rsg-india.com/indian-law-firms/profiles/trilegal RSG India profile 2010</ref>
It is ranked in the fifth position by the RSG India rankings.
