I want to apply to Law Firms and get entry into a Tier 2/3 Firm just to start with the whole Law Firm work. I have 0 contacts in qny firm. Help me with how should I start and go about the same. Wbats should be a possible road map such that a person can get an entry into a Law firm in 2-3 months. I believe alot of people have similar doubt so this could be a very relevant thread for everyone.

What are some of the lesser-known yet promising law firms in the TMT space that also offer good pay? We’re all familiar with big names like Ikigai Law and Spice Route Legal, but what about the emerging players, firms like IRA Law and others making their mark in TMT or Data Privacy?

lmao your title seems as if it was written by an eighth grader, body of post a little less but still on those lines. As for your answer, I am the same demographic as you and i honestly somewhat get repulsed by ideas of dating now, although the hopeless romantic part of self continues to exist.

based on a very rough, biased empirical observation, about 15-20% of the population at NLUs hook up. Only about 5% relationships last beyond the uni. So, in a batch of 100, intra and inter batch dating, on average each batch would have two-three couples who would date beyond uni.

Try with a senior, they are always looking out for young boys or girls to date.

It does, people are fearmongering you with the 'it doesn't'
I have seen many seniors in my subdivisional court who are only run of the mill average advocates however they can still finance their kids education in abroad and are rapidly purchasing real estate with their fees.

Y'know why?

Because majority of the advocates in India (it pains me to say this) are below sub-standard-
it takes them years to learn some proper etiquette, court kacheri are the only thing they are used to.
Ask them about some basic legislation's core principles or any provision- they'll fumble on spot and mix something up with their regional language to confuse you.
Hell i even saw the ACJM in court room having a high blood pressure just because the advocate in question before the learned judge was citing a judgment that was detrimental to his case (but he was so sure this would make him win), the judge kept giving a pitying look to the accused's family and ultimately adjourned the matter out of sheer frustration.
These same advocates are the ones who, if they wish to, can ultimately tidy up the case and get it completed if they followed the proper procedure and used every available remedy provided by law instead of focusing on getting a next date just to suck hearing fees from their clientele.

Yet there is one thing which they do right, buttering up the right people and getting dirty to have their work done, their ties with the local bar association also make them relevant, as such their names are also spread which in turn brings cases to them.

The ones that are at least serious with the profession and also are armed with the legal acumen, aptitude-- do tend to have it hard in the initial years, but as they progress their reputation and experience grow beyond what you can imagine.

Dear Misinformed Law Firm Delulu,

Two things must be cleared: first, someone who speaks the truth is not a snake oil salesman, and second, that not every litigator earns 20L per hearing. Perhaps, if you were kind enough to read properly, or maybe knew how to, you wouldn't have made that comment. ▮▮▮

It's another UPSC alike trap. You'll slog out year by year thinking that it's going to get better and better; but nothing changes. You'll devote your ripe 20's running the errands and being a passover Advocate with no work life balance and no money.

Soon you'll be 40, struggling to get matters, battling with BP and Diabetes, you'll just be another middle class person.

In a highly nepotistic field like law where both bar and bench is a huge hurdle for a new comer, It's extremely difficult and not everyone can be AMS or Salve.

Trilegal has taken a large number of interns for October. In the Delhi office alone, there are around 40 interns, while the Lower Parel office has 36. There are also interns in the Fort and Bangalore offices. In both Delhi and Lower Parel, interns have been asked to come to the office only twice a week, with the remaining days being work-from-home. I’ve heard that Trilegal is shifting to a PPO-based hiring model, but having around 80 interns each month still seems to reduce one’s chances of getting a callback.

Exactly why one should not join law firms. This is exactly what has been told in various threads and yet people who are in delusion want to do corporate law in law firms. Open your eyes, this is the reality oflaw firms..this is why it is always said litigation is far better. But these people here will not listen to the same and consider that trollish.

Can someone please update about the status of the inquiries against the NLU Meghalaya VC, Dr. Indrajit Dube? There were unauthorised recruitment related complaints against him in violation of domiciled reservation norms, as well as ▮▮▮. Did any formal proceeding get started after the students had filed the complaint? Only looking for info, not rumours or libelous stuff.

Can we have a thread dedicated to Litigation in Bangalore? We have numerous threads on Bombay and Delhi but none on Bangalore. Who are some good seniors who will mentor and pay reasonably well in Bangalore?

Based on my understanding,
Poovayya & Co, whilst not a chamber is a cha,ber masqareading as a firm and pays around 50k a month with intense work culturre but also good mentoring by senior. Manu Kulkarni in particular is a fanatasitc boss.

Apart from that Crest Law by Dhyan Chinappa is good with a pay aound 40k and good matters. Heard gpood stiff about his brothers firm spectrum legal headed by C

Oh come on. Mr AVB is still associated with almost all major AZB Dispute matters and continues to represent them based on the briefs received by the disputes team. His practice as a government advocate is flourishing and so is AZB's disputes practice under Mrinal Shankar and Anind Thomas with the external support of Mr AVB.

Hey, I don't usually comment here. But having graduated from a not so respectable private university in 2022, I will just say hang in there. It gets much, much better. Something good always turns up when you are least expecting it. Keep an open mind, don't restrict yourself to the kind of work or workplace you want to be in, but do trust your gut if something about an opportunity doesn't feel right. Life is a U shaped trajectory, when it feels it couldn't get worse, it takes a turn for the better.

Here I am, standing at the edge of my final year — a few months away from earning my degree — and yet, I find myself caught between fear, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of uncertainty. As a student from a tier-3 government law college, I’ve come to realise that the path ahead is far steeper than I had imagined. The firms I once dreamt of working with seem almost unreachable, not because I lack the willingness to learn or the dedication to work hard, but because opportunities rarely knock on doors like mine.

For the longest time, I believed that moot courts would be my anchor — my way of proving that talent and perseverance could speak louder than institutional privilege. I thought that competing against the best would at least help me be seen. But as reality unfolds, I’m learning that the victories that matter most in the legal world often belong to those from the National Law Universities. Their wins add weight to their CVs; their names carry recognition. Mine, despite effort and determination, does not.

It’s not that I consider myself exceptional — but what disheartens me is that I’ve barely had the chance to try. I’ve applied relentlessly, reached out to countless firms, big and small, yet rejections have outnumbered opportunities. I’ve completed courses taught by top-tier associates, stayed updated with recruitment trends, studied firm practices, and even explored new areas of law hoping to align myself with where opportunities might open up. And still, somehow, every time I take a step forward, it feels like something invisible pulls me two steps back.

It’s a strange space to occupy — to want so deeply to belong to a profession that feels so distant. But despite the fear, despite the exhaustion, there’s still a small part of me that refuses to give up. I just need to understand what the right way forward really looks like from here.

I work a t1 firm and let me tell you that other T1s are far more stingent in enforcing attendance, reporting and WFH rules.

Saraf has been comparatively lenient and flexible, often to the detriment of discipline and accountability. And too much leeway has been taken for granted. When flexibility begins to affect productivity, and the overall culture of professionalism, corrective steps become unavoidable - be it any firm I guess. All the people working who are bashing the necessary steps should understand that leadership carries the responsibility of protecting the structure and discipline that enable the Firm to grow. So stop crying.

Your insider sourced info and potential outcomes of the upcoming EC sounds plausible and cannot be dismissed in the way GC fobbed off the SJA and its flimsy claims. But I don't understand why NKC didn't bring these up in the interviews hr arranged with IE, TT and BB? There are strong hints of his confidence though and ofc dog whistling threats.

Maybe he is biding time to deliver the KOs to SJA and a section of the faculty on Oct 16. Once the EC let's him continue, which looks highly likely, the complicit SJA will do little. It lost the plot way back and since then never bothered to get its own house in order.

Students are sheep anyway. Give them a new variety of grass, and they will chomp away. Both SJA and NKC know this.

IIM Calcutta recently spilled it's can of worms and one apparently slid in here. Just check the media reporting. All of that happened under another messianic saviour who was foreign educated, urbane, a former IIM product etc. All the right bells and whistles who forgot to blow the whistle on the festering mess.

And it really doesn't matter which place is apparently cleaner or more hollowed out than us. Our fees and engagement in this univ demands a certain min standard. Anything better is always welcome and desirable. But the min needs to be there, sustained and raised. That has been sliding since PIB took over and yes, students must also share the blame.

Getting so called strict or disciplinarian teachers aren't silver bullets. Certainly we can start with stemming the rot at the top and the swirling cabal of maggots. And there isn't inherently virtuous in being NLU or foreign educated. Atrociously illiberal things can be perpetuated through the liberal.

Slander cannot be endgame. All this will not fly with the EC on Oct 16. NKC came here because the powers that be ordained so and will stay on as long they deem so. Past is instructive that extensions can get extended. Unless you or whatever you supply to SJA has an actual bite, dream on.

Also if I can have you in the present, can you please explain why there is no paperwork supporting the SJA claim of Rs 7cr deficit allegedly caused by the financial mismanagement of NKC?

Equally important why was no inquiry conducted or action taken against the teach who almost caused the univ to get blacklisted by the NCGC? And what about other EC inquiries against her?

This is not true. Sure you may remember certain things and if you go over them once, of and when required , your memory will recall most of the things you learnt in law school.

However, if you're spending 12-14 hours a day for 5-6 years in a single profession, no way are you going to remember everything, sometimes even the basics.

For example some property lawyers remember only sections related to property in criminal acts, but ask them details about other crimes they can't recall. You ask a professor whose an expert and specialises in environmental law, they would remember environment related provisions in the constitution but may not remember details about the election commission or finance commission. Similarly some tax lawyers know nothing except tax related matter.

In short, the more of an expert you are the more you'll have tunnel vision. So it's either a generalist with basic known on everything or a specialist with a extreme depth in few subjects.

That's why every legal field requires and is heavily dependent on "prep" time. From judges to lawyers to corporate to teachers, everyone needs to go through stuff again and again as and when required.

An example exercise would be, without searching, think how much you remember about Government of India Act 1935 or about the Analytical School of jurisprudence.
