Isn’t there merit in staying in the firm since the tie up was happening?
With the BCI’s new rules such partnerships are only going to become more common place. So then what would be the reason for senior attorneys to move on.
Ameya is one such partner who argues himself before the BHC and NCLT sometimes, however there is a lot of hierarchy there in the team. The work culture is nice, however long working hours one need to put. No scene of PPOs as of now.
Nitesh's team is vast (35 people), and he is the star partner of Trilegal Mumbai's dispute. Great work of Arbitration is there, and generally hires after providing long term assessment. Team bonding is tough due to the no. of people.
Rajendra is the head of litigation of AZB Mumbai. To be honest, the work there is great, especially the clients and quality they have got. But the working hours ▮▮▮, ▮▮▮. But again, the SEBI related work is really good.
1. Came to campus when 2022 protest was at its peak - so we thought college is all play no work - and mind you, we were all ambitious, but the environment in 2022 was so so chaotic that people got so disillusioned w HNLU, a lot of them actually took CLAT 2022 December attempt and ran for their lives (livelihoods, rather)- so yes for most, the "gap year" was actually a gap year - and when that didn't work out, the CGPA system makes it all the more difficult to bring your rank up - combined with the "culture" spoken about elsewhere on this thread, ones with low ranks had already mentally clocked out - or were overly anxious about their rank dropping further so never really took up papers or moots
2. Slew of proctos for involvement in the protests (which our senior batches literally forced us to join by bashing our doors down - we had 0 free will, we were made a part of class walkouts, and asked to bunk classes by seniors who assured we wouldn't face attendance issues - but oh well we did)
3. ▮▮▮
4. And the general admin cracking down on the students post protests, where the chaos of first sem suddenly became over cautious tiptoeing around rules
5. The way profs lashed out at us because the same impression that OP has about BO'27 being "radio silent" and "having taken a gap year without leaving campus" - had become a prejudice in profs' heads - way too many instances of arbitrary use of proctos to silence genuine instances of disagreement, halting publishing of results over unpaid fines for proctorial orders that have been appealed (yes, there's an appellate mechanism, but you cant see results unless you pay the fine imposed by the order you just appealed using the said appellate mechanism - PNJ out the window)
HNLU might be on its way to make a proper comeback but there are deeper issues that never see the light of the day that the admin has to sort first before we can dream of making it back to T-1(A) or whatever it was before the downfall.
Also how much does Saikrishna and Associates, Anand and Anand, Singh and Singh, Inttl Advocare, SCIP, IRA Law, Mason and Associates pay their IP associates?

Due to the lower pay, teams make money by doing more work and handling more opinions, etc, so you end up having to do more work than people who already have a bad work-life balance, so imagine working 80 hours a week, which can hit about 12 hours daily, including Sundays.
It just leads to major burnout because more work, less pay than your peers plus after all this it would be easy if your partner understood when you needed a bit of time for personal matters or help you learn or treat you respectfully which also does not happen, its not as simple as partner being bad, it's more the boring work, less pay, more hours plus the not so ideal treatment from your bosses and the mid level team not just purely the partner.
