So, I've got an offer to join a chamber in a Tier-2 city, which is gonna pay me decently, but the senior has just 2 years of experience, but has a lot of connections and is also an empanelled lawyer of many pvt companies and has many government clients, moreover that senior seems to be very dedicated and will only be keeping one junior in his office, so I wanted to know if joining that chamber is a wise move or not? And I'm thinking about future prospects, whether working in such an inexperienced chamber would help me in making a switch to a senior advocate' s chamber at a later point of time or is it looked down upon?
Also, always remember, I say this to everyone who cleared or didn't clear clat. It's a one day objective exam that is decide by one rank. If it's your day, you could get a tier 1, if it's not, you'll not even get a rank. That's enough to change your standing in life. So whatever you get or don't, don't worry and work hard, these 5 years will change your life. Focus on yourself.
Just a general thought on this: when senior/equity partners exit how often do their 'parent' firms enforce non-compete and non-solicit provisions and payment to the Partner. When I was working as an A0 at a T1 firm, the Partner (who moved from AZB) told the team during a general discussion that AZB did not give her/him what was due.
For example: I may be wrong with dates, pls correct
The news of Indus Laws Employment Team leaving the firm was in late May/ mid June 2024, while a formal announcement was made by KCO in August 2024.
Is this the general market practice? The only precedent I was able to find was a civil suit filed by CAM against a former CAM Chennai office head - Dorothy (now in SAM). This is well documented on legally india.
Can Partners who have moved provide some insight?

Internships through RCC: 4 weeks
Caution: if you do end up taking NLUO, make sure to give in your absolute best right from the start. NLUO doen't have great placements, and not more than 5-10 people manage to get t-1 jobs. None of this is meant to demoralise you but just give you a picture of what you're stepping into. So if you're paying that money, make sure it's worth it. Good luck!
Only one or two seniors worth working with.
My advice would be to work on your CGPA as much as possible. If it's due to personal reasons, I hope it has been taken care of. Don't waste your time on moots, negos, committees, etc. They add zero value to your CV. Work your ass off during the trimester and intern during the breaks so that you have a good CV overall.
