Who do you think know their game, are smart and you can learn from them. I don’t wanna know the partners who are just trying to loot the clients of their money, giving them vague promises of success, but rather partners who have a legal acumen and are legally intellectual.

Firms don’t matter. I just want to know the partners.

Requesting only experienced individuals to answer, as inexperienced or mildly experienced ones are usually starry eyed and dazed by all partners.

I just graduated from a reputed government college. I have been actively looking for jobs but unfortunately it's already July and my inbox sits empty. I have been emailing firms and partners but to no avail. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I have done corporate internships at good to decent firms. My GPA is 8.70. Could somebody please help me out with this? What do I do?

Many times people are well intentioned and make all the right noises, but things don't go as they'd originally thought or said because not everything is in their control. I empathize with you. There's no point losing your mind. Just do everything you can to get something else. Best of luck.

Hi all, I got recommended for a PPO after an my internship with T1 firm earlier this year. I recieved great overall feedback from the team including the partner during my time there. Had my PPO interview with a seperate partner some time back and got to know through someone who spoke to that partner that they recommended me for hiring. I was in contact with my mentor and associates I worked with throughout this time and they always gave a positive response whenever I followed up, even assuring the team is trying to get it converted.

Despite all this, I recently was recently informed by a senior in the team that after speaking to the partner, they can't extend an offer as the team isn't hiring (I was told otherwise explicitly) and the HR is also being difficult about it at this stage.

This came as quite the shocker and I'm left hopeless as I don't have any other options. I know the reason they gave might not be exactly that but is this a common thing? Any tips on what to do ahead? I've been cold mailing partners and firms ever since then but have had no responses. Any advice is appreciated as I'm losing my mind with every passing day. Thanks all

Anonymous posts asking people to validate gossip are usually a sign that the author has neither the courage to put their name to their claims nor the evidence to back them up.

If you have genuine first-hand experience, share it openly and own it. If not, trying to crowdsource character assassination under the guise of “looking for genuine advice” is just lazy trolling.

Most professionals build their reputations through years of work, not anonymous comment threads. If you’re deciding whether to join, speak to people who’ve actually worked with him instead of relying on anonymous mudslinging.

By all accounts, the hostel rooms at many NLUs are like slums. Old, overcrowded and dirty. So are such off-campus options common?

I gave my PPO interview a few weeks back. I have a single-digit batch rank and a couple of good Tier-1 internships, but I don't think my interview went that well. Have I lost my chance of getting a PPO?

If anyone has been through something similar, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Any insights or advice would honestly help put my mind at ease.

what do you want to do in the UK?

if you want to be a solicitor in the UK, the first question you have to answer is what extra can you bring to the table? ambition is not enough, what would be your USP? to be a fully qualified solicitor you need 2 PQE and pass SQE 1&2. You can do the prep with online courses from Uni of law (they were Aakash of the UK, now they have become a uni). However, once you are qualified what are you going to do next? Law firms dont want to hire international students/solicitors (unless they bring something special), they want pale male stale even if the brochures look suspiciously well balanced. to become an independent solicitor you would need around 3 crores INR, if you walk the streets of southall or any of the ethnically dominated streets you would find such street lawyers on each corner, they charge 1500 GBP for filing immigration application (not assylum but just regular visa application). Would you like to hustle?

if you dont want to go the SQE route, you can check out the CILEX, this is like a part time lawyer route, you can do conveyancing and a bunch of other stuff, however, with gne-AI coming in most of the low level drafting stuff is out of the window, clients now dont want to spend 5000 GBP for lawyers, they would represent themselves in the court, FT has a nice article on impact of AI on low level lawyers, who are now starved of clients, the court system is quite streamlined in the UK, so navigating is not a problem, previously the value added from solicitors were they would draft the petitiotn, however, now AI can do a better job for example in an employment tribunal where the matters are mostly factual with a sprinkling of law.

the only thing that you can do without much effort is to become an immigration adviser, you need to pass a couple of exams IAA. prep in india, Come to the UK on a tourist visa, give exam go back. once you pass the exam, find out the cheapest masters programme in a third rate uni, costs should be less than 10k GBP, come to the UK, open your own shop giving immigration advice, get on the assylum panel, you would print money, after your degree you have 18 more months of post study visa, your aim should be earn as much as you can, so that you can apply for the own company visa (target is 80k pa, if you can get 80 clients, you shall reach that). or you can do what a lot of South Asians do, find a british person and marry them.

Hi, I am new to the legal profession and have joined a small chamber. The place does not have a dedicated accounts department. So, I wanted to know (from people working in organized law firms), what all documents do y'all get on a monthly basis with the credit of your respective pay (professional fee). I just want to make sure that I don't miss out on documentations when I have to switch. Any response and guidance would be much appreciated. thanks.

Hi I am a soon to be law student form a private law collage. My classes start in September but we were given some work to do before hand and one of it was to make a PPT on a topic and present it to few of our future professors. I so far have no idea how or where to research on my topic and would like any if not all the help possible

You had the Shobhaa De article + many social media posts in support. Now she showed her middle finger to media persons while being escorted by the police.

I really can't understand why she's being seen as the victim, or even hailed as some sort of feminist icon. Even if she was being forced into marrying a bald and stammering guy by her parents for money, is it right to murder him???? It's not like Ketan was cruel to her. On the country, we can see videos where he is simping over her and giving her gifts.

Debentures cannot be issued on rights basis under Sec 62, since that section applies only to shares. However, Sec 23 recognizes rights issue as a mode of issuing "securities" generally, and the definition of securities includes debentures. Therefore, a company may offer debentures to its existing shareholders, but such an offer does not carry any statutory pre-emptive right in favour of the shareholders. In practice, these issues are typically routed through the private placement framework under Sec 42.

The only reason I am glad that my mother and my schoolteachers forced me to take Computer and Maths Olympiad exams many years in a row is because of one stock option that used to be available in a lot of those multiple choice questions: "none of these". I have found remembering that wording very helpful when looking at Legally India posts like this one.

Guys i am currently working as legal administrative officer at niacl. I was a judiciary aspirant but all thanks to 3 year rule, i had to switch to other jobs because of financial reasons. The initial pay is decent and good WLB. But the growth is very very slow it being a government job. What can be my other options?

Based on my experience, the firm usually wraps people up in 15 days. But somehow, when it comes to me, they’re suddenly acting like the full 60-day notice is carved in stone.

What’s the remedy here?

Or is this just a straight-up “rules for thee, not for me” situation?

Hi I am a Capital Market associate. Like any other person in my practice feeling a bit stuck here. If I appear and clear SQE, will there be any new avenue? Not looking for shifting to Disputes any kind of Transaction Law will be preferred even if Capital Market in any other jurisdiction. Will SQE add something to my profile or benifit me in these?
