I recently came to know that AZB Mumbai started its tax team last year? should i apply for an internship? I'm from BO 27 MNLU Mumbai. What's the culture and the work like for a newly set up team? Will it be worth it?
I already know about SCC but would want to get more info and be able to participate in things I find interesting. Thank you!
To apply, you'll have to go to their website. Linklaters will take an online test. HSF and AnO will mostly rely on your essays and CV where you have to show you have all the right skills. Best to talk to someone who has gone through this process.
Quite a few people I spoke to also suggested Adv. Ajinkya Udane. After googling him I found out that he is also from ILS and has a large practice in Pune, Mumbai, and New Delhi. Any idea about the nature of his work and whether he takes up juniors in his Pune office?
Even after IIM A/B/C, an average person ends up with an in-hand salary of 1.5-1.75 lakhs
Here, an average 23 year old is making this much without doing much effort in clat, law school and even work. It's a win-win situation for us, the faster you see this, the more you will be thankful even for lala firms
A CS COP seems to open up several other avenues, especially in secretarial and compliance work, which can be taken up independently apart from job.
Am I missing out on something here? Is it fine to surrender advocate COP and take up CS COP instead, especially as corporate lawyer?

The 2026 LLB batch has had far more Tier 1 internships and opportunities than the first batch, and some have exceeded in Moot Court Competitions and ADR competitions as well, when compared to the first batch. This will only grow in the subsequent batches. Of course the numbers will look low compared to BALLB because of the sheer size of the incoming BALLB batches. The higher number of internships will surely translate into better placements for the 2026 batch, even if its far lesser than BALLB.
There is a lot of misinformation on LI regarding this, i'm guessing from BALLB kids who are still not able to come to terms that BALLB is not the only relevant program at NLS now. However, one thing is true, that the LLB program has far more people, compared to BALLB, who don't want a corporate job. And the placement numbers will always show that.
Also, i'd just say that mostly, the interactions between BALLB and LLB batches have been amicable and good. However, there are always some BALLB students who love to hate on the LLB program or spread blatant misinformation on the internet, maybe to get some false sense of superiority or simply out of boredom.
