If your firm/chamber is taking interns in January, or you know someone who is, I'd really appreciate a pointer - happy to send my CV and a short cover note directly.
Thanks so much!
The problem is the under cutting and fee competition the firms have engaged in - domestic billing rates have hardly gone up, so naturally after few years the salary jumps will stall

Fixed is still 16.3 LPA
He’s not a nepo baby; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. He started out on his own with a very old Supreme Court senior adv. From what I know, he got most of his initial briefs through that connection. He mainly does electricity matters, interstate water disputes, and corporate work. The work he talks about on LinkedIn, through the dinners he attends and the people he’s friends with, is broadly accurate.
He’s well connected, and knows a lot of people in the city. He knows most of the family offices and also does a fair amount of cross-border work.
when you actually know what you are talking about instead of drawing stupid parallels, the bangladesh in your analogy is CAM.
Wouls you compare USA with Bangladesh
Now that Day-Z for BO27 is over and the focus of the recruiters shifts to the next batch in line (granted that some hiring would continue for 2027 Batch until their graduation in summer), what is the general idea on the hiring scenario for BO28?
1. Do we expect a hiring trend similar to BO27? Or is it slightly worse?
2. How is the call-back scenes like across firms ? I know they can be very cagey but did your teams talk about vacancies or hiring?
SAN took refuse in the past, repeated stories we have heard many times before: ELP’s Partnership deed was signed at the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore on Sept 6th, 2001. The four partners couldn’t take their spouses along to Singapore, but they promised themselves that they would meet there 10 years later at the same place, with their spouses, which they did!
SAN “remembered” how he worked with “tax” as they pivoted from VAT to GST. SAN said he has been working hard (on corporate deals) ever since he returned from his US trip. SAN did not mention a single ‘trade’ deal he did.
SAN promised that lawyers and not AI would be the decision makers at the new firm that he will soon cobble together.
The decision to split ELP was presented as one taken jointly by the Co-Founders and the departing TnT Partners, in the interest of everyone in ELP. It was reiterated that ELP is very profitable. In the last 5 months, ELP’s revenues were higher than what it was in the last 6 months of the previous financial year, which was the best year for ELP till date.
SAN: “Change is inevitable. Human beings came to dominate the world since we are the most adaptable. So, we need to change and adapt.” Darwin was quoted a few times.
The term sheet is ‘non-binding’ and there is no guarantee the deal will take place. Which means the term sheet HAS BEEN SIGNED, but SAN didn’t say so expressly.
SAN spoke for around 45 minutes.
Then RJ spoke. He recounted how on Sept 1st 2001, he started working for RSM as a CA. A few days later, he was ‘told’ that he would be moving to ELP. He asked what he, a CA would do in a law firm. RJ said that everyone at ELP would be ‘safe’.
What SAN did not say: That all those who move to the remnant law firm will be protected. That he will not try to create an ‘associate-lite’ law firm.
RJ has no business saying that everyone at ELP would be ‘safe’. SAN should have said that. SAN didn’t say that. All those moving to Dhruva WILL be safe – that’s obvious – unless they want to leave and they won’t be able to for 2.5 years since they will have a lock-in.
The High Tea that followed was entirely ‘vegetarian’. Until now, ELP’s dinning hall was multi-cuisine. Even the birthday parties held once a month would have a non-veg option. A sign of times to come?
RJ, please avoid mentioning again and again how RSM, a tax and accounting firm, created ELP as its “unofficial” legal arm. Also, once you are at Dhruva, please do not join or fund SILF, that evil organization. Instead, please persuade Ryan and Dhruva to lobby for a change in Indian regulations so that lawyers and CAs can work together.
Final verdict: Come Diwali, I will collect my 60% and run.
Many of my personal milestones also coincided with my time at the firm, which makes it even more special. It was easily the least toxic workplace I experienced, with minimal politics and a culture that genuinely let people focus on doing good work.
Always grateful for that phase.
I've read a lot of negative comments, but my experience was different. ELP has been home to some of the finest legal minds in the country. Very few firms in country can say they have produced three Senior Advocates and two judges from their ranks.
It was a firm built on talent, hard work and merit, not family legacy or internal politics. That its journey had to end this way is deeply sad.
Thank you, ELP, for everything. You'll always have a special place in our hearts.
by evening, every comment was a source.
The firm's future became the only case where nobody knew the course.
A simple litigator from Delhi arrived, dreams adjourned with perfect vanity. Then came SAN searching for sanity,
the thread lost both, oh what a calamity!
Someone got mean, the whole thread showed them their face instead.
Others still wondered, "Bhai, firm humein khilayegi kaise bread?"
CAs said "Tax is ours, don't claw!" with great fervour. Lawyers smiled, "Nice try... but tax is still law."
JSA Corporate practice is decent but not stellar. We already have a lot of mediocre people so please don’t send anymore of them here.
We, especially the Mumbai office, needs some stellar lawyers with marquee clients or big ticket deals.
With NP now ruling with an iron fist, makes sense for him to ascend in another firm.
And now, watching them scramble to manage the narrative around this exit is almost predictable. They ars not defending the team; they are defending themselves. They know exactly how much of the negativity stems from their own conduct, the bullying disguised as high standards, the emotional volatility, the selective mentoring, the way they created an atmosphere where people were constantly second‑guessing themselves.The truth is simple, this exit did not expose anything new. It merely brought into the open ▮▮▮
So why the difference?

Although the work culture is very chill, with fixed working hours and the quality of work is also good, the associates explain the tasks very patiently and spends time to teach you but the hiring process at vritti is very different. They don't hire students who are still in college. You need to graduate and then work as a paralegal for months to finally and hopefully get hired. The ideal time period for the B&F team is somewhere between 4-5 months and for the GC team it's 9-12 months, then one becomes a junior associate and then an associate. It is very time consuming process.
You can check the linkedin accounts of the people working there to cross-verify.
Some may argue that these firms cannot provide equity because of their small scale, which I agree with to some extent. However, the above factor is the major one. Also, whenever you apply to such a firm, do check the managing partner’s history and whether the firm has actually grown, not just in terms of the amount of work it does, but also in terms of expansion of teams and how long it took to achieve that growth.
While I know we call a few family-run Tier 1 law firms “lala” firms, those are far better in terms of providing other things, even if they do not provide WLB (as most people say). The real “lala” firms are these kinds of firms, majorly run by one family, with little to no meaningful expansion over time.
This so-called intellectual reporting agency has never once produced an intellectually stimulating article. Instead, it produces garbage, highly opinionated pieces bereft of facts or evidence while claiming them to be news reporting. I genuinely feel that both the readers and the writers are suffering from severely diminished mental faculties. Take care, guys!
My bottom line is simple: you can genuinely question anything and everything, but before doing so, first understand the idea behind it. Also, ensure you do not deface any deceased person, especially someone who played a key role in the Indian struggle for independence.
My main concern is that while I have a strong grasp of the relevant laws (Companies Act, IBC, RBI regulations, and contracts), I’ve never done corporate or banking internships before, so I lack hands-on deal and due diligence experience. However, I need to secure a new role before leaving my current position.
Would Partners entertain a lateral entry from a 1-year litigator for these teams? How can I best position my litigation background as an asset, and what practical transactional skills should I quickly pick up to prove I can handle the work? Any reality checks or advice would be greatly appreciated.
