1. Fintech practices is usually an ‘ancillary practice’ with law firms clubbed either with TMT, Financial serviced regulatory or the good old banking and finance. Fintech lawyer usually advise NBFC’s, Banks, and Fintechs in structuring their financial products such that they are RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, etc complaints, work on outsourcing arrangements, inter alia.

The body of the departed soul was placed at the university around 3:30 PM on Thursday (classes were suspended for the afternoon) for students to pay their respects, yet the university authorities ▮▮▮ dismissed the students request to suspend classes for the next day since many of them were in huge distraught with the sudden passing of one of their batchmates. Classes were resumed the very next morning at 9 AM, completely ignoring the emotional grief of the students.
Once again, the university has made it crystal clear that holding classes is far more important ▮▮▮. It is high time that serious attention be paid to the mental health of the student community, rather than treating it with ignorance.
A0 gets paid 20 LPA.
Who is this imbecile law student that Kian handed over the keys to…

Got an offer from one of the largest corporates in india. 😉
Destiny do turn around....🕶️
I did some background check & I found that the Partner concerned is a standing counsel for CBDT & CBIC, Now I know that GPs (government pleaders) are paid erratically & sometimes they are not even paid on time at all.
That being said how is it that SDS can afford to pay so much? Also anybody here who practices DT as well as IDT? It is really tough to imagine someone working in both silos of tax.
PS:- i do not mean any offence to the folks over at SDS but something seems off & I just want clarification
Anyways a lot of good resources are moving away, i dont know if its because of inadequate pay, team politics or work environment.
Tried checking online but couldn’t find much about them. Would appreciate any insights — work culture, nature of work, or anything else worth knowing. Thanks in advance!
+ You want to learn IP, then do it in a small firm. Understand the basic procedures of prosecution and opposition first. Then choose big firms for internship
The reason for this is that most of the IITs, except for Kharagpur, don’t have a dedicated law department. You will have to enroll in humanities or social science PhD which may be interdisciplinary.
So if you want to do doctrinal research try for NLUs. If you want to learn other tools and research methods then do it from interdisciplinary places like IITs, JNU, TISS etc.
AM - he’s the practice head. Nice guy.
PK - new EP. Peaceful guy.
SM - a thread is there on LI.
I would be really grateful if someone could just let me know how I can secure some good internships.
I am new to the city and looking for socializing avenues. Anything other than getting drinks, I guess.
