Have heard partners yell at people in hallways and the attrition rate in general is very high.
Briefly spoke to one of the associates during a smoke break, and he also was of the opinion that the culture has got bad lately. He couldn’t talk much obv because they’re not supposed to talk to interns because they’re afraid that confidential data might get leaked if they talk to us..

Bar and Bench also reported that he advised on a 500 Crore QIP for some construction company. I know seasoned transaction lawyers who have worked years but haven’t originated and led transactions that are 500 Cr and above.
Contacts aren’t everything. I am a 2nd gen lawyer too…they can get you in the circles but if you mess up you will fall down harder.
Sorry but some of the so called partners at certain top law firms have been promoting this culture !
Reclamation Real Estate Company (India) Private Limited. The company's registered office is in Delhi and it has two directors, one of whom is RJ and the other a relatively young ELP partner. The most interesting this about this company is that, as per MCA records, which are public info, this company’s assets (which is the 9th floor ELP office) are mortgaged to Citicorp Finance (INDIA) Limited for Rs. 40 crore. I have heard that a SAN, Sword RJ, NS and two or three other ELP partners made a small down payment and bought out the 9th floor a couple of years ago.

The other “working” elevator is literally being held by steel wires, has no functioning door sensor, and will just shut on you even if you’re standing right in front of the door.
Interns and associates have been getting stuck in it constantly, and of course, there’s basically no phone network inside the elevator, so good luck calling anyone if you’re trapped.
At this point, taking the stairs feels like the safer option. But seriously, this is a pretty major safety issue and really needs to be fixed.
