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.

I have heard they do good Media and Entertainment. Any other reviews ?

But none of this matters because CAM is a work factory and will generate enough for Manmeet. Whether he could be a sun in his own right or just be another golden-ish button in the firm is the story. In Saraf, assuming Saraf does become larger, and that is still a developing story notwithstanding the relatively good 3 years, he was always the Sun.
I have seen their salary slip/contract.
Please help guys have an offer.
However, there are very few LLM passout who do find a way to get absorbed into the new jursidction. First, the number is extremely low about 1 in 80/90, second, they inevitably have prior work experience and had a clear plan at the start of the LLM on how to seek placements and which firms to target (in fact, on gentle provbing you will find that they often contact the firm before even applying for the firms).
So, it does not matter which specialisation you choose for LLM abroad, if you want a job there you would need to have a) work ex and b) make connections beforehand. LLM is an addon not the explanatory factor.
1. Associates (below 4/5PQE)- 8 to 22 LPA fixed; 8% bill share; 2L to 6L bonus entitlement*;
2. Senior Associates (4/5PQE to 7PQE) - 22 to 44 LPA fixed; 8% bill share; 12L bonus entitlement*;
3. Principal Associates (7PQE to 9/10PQE) - 36 to 56 LPA fixed; 10% bill share; 12L bonus entitlement*
* Bonus entitlement is the upper number for base calculation. Base calculation results in a % which is linked to various criteria including recovery, soft skills, partner's inputs etc. So if you get 90% score and your entitlement was 12L as an SA, you would have a base of 10.8L. On top of that, based on criteria that are key secret by partners you can get up to 50% more. So in the above example - 10.8 + 5.4 = 16.2.
All of the above is very opaque at JSA and my husband only knows this because his partner is a good guy and shares such stuff. I think partners at JSA do whatever they want beyond a point, and therefore individual packages may vary drastically, subject to the upper limits I mention.
Will i be able to register?
What option should i chose?
Are there any courses/certifications I can pursue that will help me have a better chance or how do I go about switching from in-house to law firm?
So clear winner is GNLU
What about labour, employment, taxation laws??
Tons of money and power, but no wife and kids. Would you like such a life, or a simpler life with kids and family? Asking because I feel the legal profession is producing a lot of singletons. People who never got married or ended up divorced and without kids.
Rebel against our common enemy viz long working hours and no work life balance
Unless the BCI does something that actually prevents the education right or the free speech right- im not sure theres a legal reason to oppose this. There might be a moral one, but I do think some of this is hysteria. No one is really going to be affected by it. its something to outrage about on twitter but signing a sheet of paper declaring your criminal antecedents is not this great violation of your rights.
According to KD's law, irrespective of a stay order from court, just because regime or regime-friendly folks have filed an appeal, that itself is a "stay order".
NKC isn't gone yet, he will be seeking an extension at least till he turns 70, like he did 6 months back. KD and KB don't see eye to eye anymore, though SB is in KD's fold, because of the connection that both of them share with the Nephew.
DYC appointing a good academic like Sudhir to the panel was not very likely to happen in any case, since DYC has demonstrably abandoned all his duties as a Chancellor towards the university ever since he assumed the CJI office. He goes to even inaugurate buildings in other law schools or to give lectures, but has never visited NUJS nor allowed for convocation to be held for the last 4 batches.
SJA is unlikely to raise any squawk this time. They have been thoroughly coopted by NKC, who will want one of his acolytes from the NE or IIT to assume office if his term doesn't get extended. That way, the successor can keep burying all the dirt just like NKC did about his predecessors.
The current Regi is an NKC man, but he will do whatever is asked of him by powers to be. The ex Regi who was 'sacked' once is trying to stage a comeback once again, by cosying up to senior faculty now.
The state government will keep vetoing any really capable person from holding the post. Faizu may try his luck, as will some of the current VCs elsewhere whose tenures are ending too.
The alum are completely useless in this matter as they never even tried to build a collective voice to help the university, unlike the NLS group.
As you rightly mentioned, interesting times ahead indeed!
It seems like a veiled way of asking how to deal with T-1 fomo.
Obviously reminiscent of Narayan Murthy and Bhavish Agarwal. But beyond IT does this attitude exist in Lala law firms as well? Answer is YES. But unfortunately jobs in the legal space are limited, compared with IT.

Having said that, since you are not from Mumbai, may I suggest you look at boutique corporate law firms in other cities? Even if you get paid 30k (which is the least they'd do in Delhi), it would suffice you in the early stages of your career if you can do crazy cost cutting. Earn relevant PQE and then start applying at bigger law firms.
