We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
However all is not lost, I would do the following if i was in your position:
1. Get at least one good banking related article/blog in a reputable place like India corplaw/cbcl.
2. Start connecting to b&f partners and associates on LinkedIn to see what sort of work they are doing, who is in which team etc.
3. Try targeting Tier 2 firms first so you can learn the ropes of b&f. Phoenix, juris corp, Wadia Ghandy, Indus are good places to learn.
4. Leverage those to get to and impress bigger b&f teams that hire A0s. Manisha Shroff (Khaitan), Leena Chacko (CAM), Abir Dey (Saraf), Anand Shah (AZB) etc.
5. Don't waste your time with JSA, TTA, SAM, Trilegal as they won't hire 99% of the time.
6. If everything fails, try to intern at Tier 2 places in your last semester. Phoenix, Wadia Ghandy, KLaw, SNG, Juris Corp, Samvad, Dentons are good options and hire A0s regularly.
7. You'll be able to move to a T1 within 1-2 years easily after that so do not despair. Remember it's a marathon not a sprint.
All the best!

I kid you not. Please Google. Just sums up the state of humanities academia.
How much can you guys complain. The trust is that only the first few batchs of NLUs were any good. After that, the kids feel so entitled (most of them, #notall...), they can't cut it in the real world.
So please stop celebrating such people and instead celebrate non-nepo kids. IMO the designations we should be celebrating are those of Phiroze Edulji and Vipul Kundalia, both non-nepo kids from NLSIU. Let’s also praise Phiroze for his role in the RG Kar case, although it seems that both the BJP and opposition deep state will suppress the truth.
GDP is a flow measure for the total value of goods and services produced within a country over a specific period—how much the economy is producing within that time frame.
Wealth (or net worth) is a stock measure, which represents the total value of assets owned by individuals or entities at a specific point in time.
Even if the wealth of the top 1% were removed, this wouldn’t automatically decrease GDP, because the wealth itself is not being actively spent or generated in the economy on a day-to-day basis—it's an accumulation of past resources.
The wealthiest Indians may have significant assets, but these assets don't directly equate to the economic output measured by GDP. You are drawing an equal betweem wealth and economic output, which is fundamentally incorrect. India's GDP would still stand at 3.5 trillion dollars even if Adani were to personally go bankrupt (Adani himself, not his group of companies since they have a contribution to the GDP).
For the love of God, please read up more on economic and financial concepts. You all are/going to be corp lawyers lol.
Gopal shankarnarayana whom this site and NLS students are so fond of didn't became a senior because of his NLS degree but because he has the hand of K K Venugopal on his head.
High? Hell yeah!

- MINIMUM 15 crore in 2025 (double if married and with child)
- MINIMUM 20 crore in 2030 (double if married and with child)
- MINIMUM 25 crore in 2040 (double if married and with child)
Possible to have this much saved?
The demand feels like a blatant exploitation of a fresher's vulnerable position. This experience, combined with previous unprofessional behaviors like ghosting and inappropriate communication, has left me seriously questioning my career path in law.
I'm genuinely considering leaving the legal field if such exploitative tactics are normalized.

If you just want a job - then start with tier 3 firm - not college.
I don't think so you practice, anyone claiming CLC didn't give great lawyers and jurists can either be a laymen or some law firmite.
What are the key qualities or skills they prioritize when selecting candidates, especially freshers? Do they weigh internships with top firms or specific types of academic achievements more heavily, or do they look for other factors like leadership experience, extracurricular activities, or even the candidate's ability to network and build client relationships?
Also, is there a preference for candidates from certain law schools, or is their approach more holistic and inclusive compared to other Tier 1 firms? For those who’ve been through their recruitment process or know someone who has, any insights into how SAM Mumbai distinguishes itself in terms of what they value in a hire would be super helpful!
