3 or 4 band 1 practices - should point out the way they have lost band 1 practices including HR and Funds.
The only practices they still have a hold is tax and lit. TMT is also on downhill note. Tax has seen lot of departures. Except for Parul there is no notable person in that practice area.
Culture not doubt the best. But culture enough will not run the firm. If that would have been the case the departures would not have been this insane.
Also talking about practice heads all of them stick to NDA because of some association with Nishith Desai (either family or friends). You know the reality still you choose to depict a wrong picture.
T1 firms have sophisticated clients that pay bomb for their work. Bring ECB into the picture and you can make good money. Some years into the practice when you get over the mundane documentation that a junior is required to do, you can wear multiple hats while leveraging your knowledge of financial laws. Banks will always make money and banks will always need lawyers for innovation even if it's just 5% of day to day in a b&f team, it's still challenging and rewarding both money and satisfaction wise.
They are probably bumping the fresher pay to 25 lakhs but the 5 lakhs of bonus will be dependent on you scoring 70 on two different parameters internally. Trust me they have all the control to reduce the score so that they don’t have to pay bonuses. Have done that in past.
Plus 30 percent tax will leave you with less money in hand. Good place to have some breath and learn work but for that there needs to be good flow of work which unfortunately they are struggling with.
For example people are citing two profs from NLS; Dr Arul Scaria, who is an IPR expert, and majority of his publications are IPR related, and Dr Rahul Hemrajani, who may be considered since he definitely does teach AI, but even he has not published any research on AI.
I hope it's not a case of bootlicking just cause they're from NLS and have a foreign degree.
On the other hand; OP you should check out faculty from GNLU, NUJS and NLIU. Since they have centres of law and tech/cyber. So you may find faculty that's working in the field. NLIU for example also has a MSc and PhD in Cyber to offer. So you may find faculty that's teaching.
In the other hand, Tech law is a vastly new field in the world, and in India majority are trying to associate ipr or even cyber with tech law. Whereas, tech law specifically is about data information,systems and infrastructure. So be clear whether it's IPR, cyber, ai, data or tech.
And Saurabh Kumar?
Which is better? From an A2 perspective in terms of work culture
Oh and you are "considering"...seriously...entitled feeling much?
Is that better for you ? Does that make you happier? Does it give you excitement in your boring life ? Does it make your worthless existence feel relevant ? Good !
Now let's see you give OP 'genuine' advice, you elitist scumbag.
The article on Bar and Bench says that the next hearing will be on March 3. So when is the counselling likely to restart?
