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?
you will learn a lot.. far more than carrying some files of some lawyer.. yes, you will have none to have your back at start but worth it
Before someone commits suicide, the person gives enough hints. We as a society fail when a suicide happen. Student friends, classmates, hostel mates and even faculty should introspec why they could not stop it.
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?
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!
Your four choices are SAM, AZB, JSA and CPR.
CPR will come last in every ranking. Yet, there will be enough people whose first choice is CPR, instead of SAM/ AZB/ JSA, because they want to specialize in a niche area of work.
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.

See a year loss matters a lot, it's not as if no one sees it, when we applied for placements most law firms saw whether the 5 year course had been completed in 5 years or not.
Also, my guy you're in a batch of 300 students, you're screwed beyond repair
Shit happens even to the smartest of people. There may be impacts in the short term, but hopefully, not in the long term. I think the best policy might be absolute transparency. I know it's hard to talk about personal issues in this way, but I think hiding it will be worse for you.
I am completing 4 years of litigation in civil and criminal matters.
Now i intend to switch to a law firm which have nclt practice.
I do not have corporate exposure before and no corporate internship experience. But now i enrolled for such a course on lawctopus.
Need advice regarding my recruitability. Any other advice also
Please help, I stay with parents and hence need to make a decision, would commute and hours be worth it
Thanks in advance. Appreciate it :))
- what is the general notice period in the legal sector? what should we aim for?
- can junior/trainee associates on probation leave the job and switch to another company?
- does our income also deduct employer provident fund things?
Anyway, the loss is America’s, because the top NLU grads will now head to the UK, Europe and Australia.
