He is brilliant. With age, he has slowed down in terms of volume of matters. He is still very sharp and can swing matters with his quiet dignity, poise and intellect. He is the only one I have ever briefed who can flawlessly dictate written submissions / note on arguments etc. with virtually no corrections needed thereafter. An inspiration.

Chidambaram is well known to be selective about the kinds of briefs he takes, such that I've heard him described as a brief a day man. In addition, he is old and not that active. Whenever he appears in the Supreme Court, I haven't seen a retinue of associates with him, which is something I've been intrigued by. Hopefully someone else can weigh in with more details.

He is very selective about the briefs he takes. Doesn't have juniors as such.

He Recently appeared for Adani in SC. Appears for Vedanta in selective cases. Almost only appears in Commercial matters or Constitutional matters with a commercial / financial tinge.

Had the opportunity to brief him, he was extremely sharp and no-nonsense.

Hi, I want to know opportunities at A0 levels. I work in a tier 1 firm in banking practice area. I want to switch while having same quality of work but a bit relaxed life, not the fast paced life which Mumbai offers. I can understand paycut, but let it still be competitive.

I understand Legalogic is major player in Pune market, so folks kindly help in shedding some light with respect to lateral shift.

Let me point out a genuine and fundamental issue with this firm. MS wants all the communication routed through him. He wants to approve the sabbaticals, he wants to approve promotions, he wants to approve the bonus amounts and increment amounts, he wants to approve even if somebody takes WFH.

Sounds like another MP .....

Thank you ;((, but I make so may efforts at dressing and communication but people refuse to make eye contact and always have this wierd partially angry-totally disgusted look when I talk to someone. Forget romantically, but normal conversations result in me being called a creep and I should stay away from so and so person (who I havent even conversed with ever). I see people around me being in friend groups but I feel so left out, can this affect my work assignment and how I would come across? I have pursued a few surgeries but it costs a forture to fully change

I am in the top 10 of my class inspite of getting 0-1s in my presentations because i perform well in my exams. Also I am sharing my experiences, Im sure most people arent at this level of ugliness where your mom and dad call you the "ugly kid who didnt have to be born" or every moment of reaction and anger is directed to physical attributes "why did you add that late, aagaya apni gandi shakal leke" or just random people coming to me and saying "I dont know where you get the confidence with that face" or school teachers saying "despite being bad at looks, he excels in grades and exams you all are gifted etc.", Also the comments on videos I happen to be in, are VERY sad.

What are your opinions on this. have seen large teams led by senior equity partners with many junior partners who are completely dependent on the senior for getting work. Especially in firms like SAM where the salaried partners run the show and handle all the execution so they barely get the time to do BD. They also seem like too complacent and can't get themselves out of the senior partner's umbrella.

No NLUs are turning RW because the left has a chokehold on all NLUs. However, one law school that has sharply turned RW is JGLS. During the Congress years, it was heavily LW and Naveen Jindal was even a Congress MP. Now, Naveen Jindal has become a BJP MP and JGLS is literally a BJP outpost. The VC has no ideology of his own and is merely following Naveen Jindal's orders.

So NLUs and law schools in general are usually left leaning. Sure you have the occasional few faculty and students being right wing, but you wouldn't say the entire department or university is RW. However with RW dominating every single area of the world and India since 2014. Which NLUs are heavily Rightwing or turning RW ???

Suggested Middle Ground Clauses

Here are some compromise options:

Option 1 - Modified Cooperation Clause:

"In the event of the Bank initiating recovery proceedings against the Landlord due to default in loan repayment in accordance with applicable law, the Lessee agrees to cooperate with lawful directions from the Bank, subject to the following conditions:

a) Lessee's lease rights and tenure shall continue to be honored by the Bank

b) Any rent redirection to the Bank shall be adjusted against Lessee's rental obligations to Landlord

c) Lessee shall receive 90 days' written notice before any possession proceedings

d) Lessee's right to peacefully conduct business shall not be disturbed during the subsistence of this agreement, subject to timely rent payments

e) All investments and fixtures installed by Lessee shall be protected and Lessee given reasonable time for removal if possession is required"

Option 2 - Conditional Cooperation:

"The Lessee acknowledges that the property is mortgaged to [Bank Name]. In case of default by the Landlord:

a) Lessee will cooperate with the Bank as per applicable law

b) Lessee may deposit rent with the Bank upon receiving written demand AND court order/legal directive

c) Such cooperation shall not prejudice Lessee's rights under this lease agreement

Bank shall provide Lessee minimum [6 months] notice before seeking possession

Lessee's business operations shall not be disrupted during the notice period, provided rent is paid as directed.

Option 3 - Escrow/Notice Based Approach:

"Recognizing the Bank's secured interest in the property, Lessee agrees that:

In case of written notice from the Bank regarding Landlord's loan default, Lessee will deposit subsequent rent in an escrow account

Rent will be released as per joint instructions of Landlord and Bank, or as per court directions

Lessee's lease term and rights shall remain protected

Minimum [180 days] notice shall be provided before any possession demand

Lessee reserves right to seek legal remedy to protect their investment and business interests.

Hello, I have provided my commercial space to rental for a company to run their retail store. Company name is not highlighted to preserve professional discretion, but a very popular QSR brand in India. The property is under mortgage and hypothecated with bank. The store is operational for 3 months now. To register rental agreement, bank should provide NOC to register rental agreement.

To provide NOC, bank is asking tenant to add a clause to the rental agreement stating that "Lessee would render their cooperation in case any recovery action is initiated by the Bank against the Borrower/Mortgagor in future including handing over the peaceful possession of the leased premises to the Bank, if demanded by the Bank. In such case, Lessee has no objection to deposit the rent directly with the Bank, if there is a written demand by the Bank to that effect and they shall not question the same".

Lessee is not agreeing to add this in registration document. Now bank is not providing NOC and hence registration of rental agreement is pending. As per advise from a lawyer(he also acknowledged that bank's ask is valid one) I have sent a register post with delivery acknowledgement letter asking the company to agree and add the condition requested by bank in rental agreement for which they have not responded yet. Lessee over email confirms that they are not related with bank in any matter and I should work with bank to get NOC. They have invested for their business in the rented property and they respond as "Lessee will abide by whatever is as per law. Lessee will not be limited to act as per Law and lessee has all right to safeguard and protect their huge investment as per law."

Now, I sit between 2 corporate companies standing in their own terms and I am helpless in the situation. Can anyone suggest how to go forward from here? What are the implications of delay in registering the rental agreement (for no fault of mine)? Is the demand from bank valid one? Is the hold by the lessee a valid one? I can be reached at ▮▮▮

So I am a student who just graduated from a rather new off campus college of a renowned university. My interest lies in General Corp. I have been finding it so difficult to get a job. I have done sufficient internships at good T1-T3 firms and boutique firms as well and i am with a good range of transactions. My grades are also not poor per se. I am willing to work hard and dedicate myself for the job. I dont really care about work life balance or toxicity. I have started to feel really demotivated and i dont know what to do.

He's fairly busy because he's friends with people who own the businesses that arbitrate - his business is not going away anytime soon. France has no relevance to the international arbitration landscape - he's moved there because it's close to the UK, saves him taxes (which the UK doesn't anymore), and is suitable for his current partner.

For those who don't know, the SJA was well aware of the report in the Telegraph about NKC's deeds at CU. The SJA did nothing because they are hesitant to take on the TMC government head-on, even in cases of patent illegality. They lack the guts of the students at JNU or Jadavpur.

Here is another scoop. Not sure if the SJA will come clean. But insider account, if true, explains why SJA piped down after the ridiculous protests.

The current batch of students owed over Rs 1.3 crores in pending hostel or mess dues. NKC has offered to raise the scholarship corpus while also installing AC systems in both the hostels for nearly Rs 4 crores. The PWD has already been awarded more than Rs 6 crores of contracts apart from the vertical extension of the academic block which will get extra set of elevators for an extra Rs 50 lacs. Reimbursement of moot court registration monies etc. Higher outlay for SJA and diluted scrutiny of advances made etc. Registrar will be the nodal point for most matters of SJA. Btw, the so called Rs 7 cr deficit is all fiction. The univ is floating on at least 16 crores of surplus and there is time more in reserves. All this will get highlighted in the EC on Oct 16.

SJA knows this. Hence to keep the sheep (that's us) grazing it issued hollowed ultimatum. But when the time comes, it would claim that student interests were upheld in its "strenuous negotiations" with NKC and therefore no more NKC eviction. Also if the EC wants NKC to stay on till Dec 31 or another extension thereafter what can the SJA do?

Now that you know what spiel is coming, choose wisely.

Why are you being cryptic? What are those skeletons? An old Kian reporting (very well done) on an inquiry done by serving and retired Andhra HC judges at NALSAR during VS regime had mentioned VCV in connection with distance education courses that did not have the necessary approvals. VCV never took up a position at Hyd since then. At HNLU there are contested versions of what he supposedly did or didn't when an alleged aggravated rape took place.

If you know of sticky stuff, kindly disclose.

I think everybody here has painted somewhat of a wrong picture. I recently gave the test, it is nothing like CLAT. It is in fact, way harder than CLAT. The English section is okay. The math section proceeded to ask me questions like speed of train if it passes by pole and stuff like that. Honestly hard for me, definitelty not the level we had in CLAT. Also, in logical reasoning, the pattern was more like AILET, and it was also harder than AILET I would say because there were some math questions involved here as well. The legal section was way off, they asked really random questions (even on maritime law?) which honestly I could not answer. Only 2 questions were from company law and contract each, one of them was on CPC. So yeah, be prepare for anything. They didn't take anyone from our uni btw.

Azim Premji MP campus is also listed as are quite a few Amity campuses. But this isn't a serious issue. During UPA regime when several univs including govt ones got blacklisted for more serious reasons, commissions kept getting made till almost all became shining exemplars of quality education within a year or two. A few also acquired INI and IoE status.

The VC of NUJS would know since he was very much present in one such blacklisted and subsequently platinum washed institution. The Noojies have no idea who they are dealing with.

I am a mid level SA doing Public M&A in tier 2. I’m thinking of transitioning to a newer team that does Public M&A. Who are the best young partners in the practice area who have a great career path ahead and hungry to be the next best thing? This is with the intention to reach out to interview.
