You can secure these positions in several ways (not exhaustive):
(i) Through College placement - A few select Mumbai colleges (mostly GLC/NMIMS) regularly release vacancies for Paralegals from T-1 and other firms wherein their students simply have to apply and are shortlisted/interviewed on the basis of their CV and application.
(ii) Direct Application - This would involve you directly applying through the firm's website for the aforementioned positions and the HR gets in contact with you if they shortlist your CV/application.
(iii) Existing interns upgraded/extended - Quite often students already interning at these firms are offered Paralegal positions or extensions for long terms internships on the basis of their ability, team requirements and availability.
(iv) Cold-mailing - Sometimes cold-mailing partners may work but this is highly dependent on the quality of your approach and the particular partner you mail, taking into consideration their receptiveness to such an approach.
Considering that you're already a graduate, I would suggest to start reaching out to seniors/batchmates already working in these firms to get an idea of how you should apply, which particular team to apply to and which respective partner to reach out to.
Some people also have success with directly messaging partners on LinkedIn.
Additionally, you should employ points (ii) & (iv) mentioned above as well.
All the very best!
please do not ask such ridiculous questions!
Team strength?
Does partner have own clients?
Churn rate of associates?
Any reviews would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm currently doing litigation and have to interact with a lot of people. However, I do not have command over the language and become very socially awkward when I'm speaking Hindi, since all my schooling was down south.
What can I do to improve my situation? It's really affecting me
