Life is very short, and there's truly a lot to achieve and do. But in our ambitions we shouldn't trun blind to the wrongs around us. In your case, 2 things are patently wrong; 1. The actions and demeanour of your partner, and 2. Your inaction against such things. You're at a crucial juncture of your life, don't let anyone sabotage yours and your child's well being.
Leave that job if you must, if maternity is not feasible at this point. But don't continue the last phase, with all the stress law firms being with it. Take a break.

Partner at another law firm here at a T1 (smaller platform according to cs) heard from sources that in the last shit storm this morning- โฎโฎโฎ hasn't even bothered to stand by his employees and hear his side or have a basic conversation let alone an invesgation. Which top lawyer doesnโt know allegations doesnโt amount to moral turpitude. Our firm would have stood by their employees/partners when people are going through shit and sudden knee jerk reactions
โฎโฎโฎ-ites your time to leave. (Before the BOTs come). This is the end of the beginning
How do females even feel safe working in law firms anymore?
Shouldn't that partner be named publicly?
Are there any other stories of this particular partner or was it just a single episode and he got caught?

Which firm is this? Any insider leads? Name and shame these pedos
Word is it is someone from โฎโฎโฎ โฎโฎโฎ (citation needed).
There are also reports of sexually explicit material of orgies with colleagues and what not. Ew.

Came across this post and while everyone might really want the insider scoop on this, let's just take a step back and sit with it. I'm sure this isn't easy on the mother of the child. I commend the law firm in question for taking immediate action.
Let's be better humans.
Not on LegallyIndia, of course. But there must be some forum where we can know who this monster is that was lurking amongst us in plain sight.
Sick to the bone honestly.
In an interview with you in January 2026, I highlighted the "pervasive rot" in West Bengal under Trinamool rule. I noted that "Mamata Banerjee is a deeply discredited figure in the state" and that "her nephew commands no currency beyond unlimited cash in hand and hired goon squads." I nonetheless said that at that time (January), Trinamool had a "definite edge" over the BJP due to the BJP's own limitations in waging a successful state-level campaign in West Bengal. Those limitations notwithstanding, it turned out that Mamata Banerjee's unlimited licence to limitless corruption during her 15-year reign, which made the Trinamool Congress into an organised-crime racket akin to the Cosa Nostra (Sicilian Mafia), her arrogance of power which grew unbearable over time, and her sponsorship of the very dubious nephew as a dynastic successor, combined into an overwhelming liability. The BJP has reaped the dividends of the popular backlash.

Adding to the Cosa Nostra analogy, the Italian mafia has survived on with links with businessmen, lawyers and even certain judges. Read this news article, about 16 judges in Italy arrested for links with the mafia.

So what you will see in Bengal is the collapse of a wide network with tentacles in civil society. And NUJS will be affected because some of these tentacles reach here.
Folks on LI: Saar what does this mean for lawyers and law firms in India?
Be wary of her.
I concern is that it will restrict me to district courts and letting me grow to high courts. What should be done?
Moreover, how does the world reflects on those who work as ADPO, as I've not yet stepped into district court practice (working for last 2 years in supreme court), so I'm not aware about the social construct against ADPO. Do I retain a future in corporate litigation world after being ADPO for a few years maybe?
She also alleged in the FIR to have recovered a pen drive containing explicit material allegedly recorded by her husband over several years.
โI found a pen drive which contained several explicit video recordings of my husband having sex with different women. He claimed these were before marriage. However, I also found an explicit video of him and a colleague from the law firm. I was shocked and decided to separate from him", her FIR reads.

If despite this you canโt attend even the remainder of classes, itโs 100% on the students. And thereโs no reason a university wouldnโt validate a genuine reason, like long-term illness or bereavement unless the genuine reason for you is: I was interning and hence couldnโt attend half the classes. Itโs also super unfair to students who maintain their attendance despite multiple commitments to let slackers write the same exams as them.
