Please note, I’m not asking about the recognition of online or correspondence degrees by the Bar Council of India (BCI). I already know that debate exists, and I’m tired of seeing comments about it. I’m specifically asking if having done a regular LLB while employed would be an issue for judiciary exam eligibility.
Anyone with real knowledge or experience in this area, please help.
For example, CAM ECM is tier 1 obviously, but its IP practice may not rival some others. JSA B&F is obviously t1, but its GC generally isn't. CAM/ SAM GC is strong, but can it rival Mr. Iqbal at JSA. Can NKUs Comp practice rival any other firm? This affects pay in bonuses and partnership as well.

Currently I am thinking of buying a nice car as I see people driving models better than mine. But I might think it will be a waste once I actually buy it
Further, sometimes we might also not give interns work and this work has come directly from our own seniors to whom we are accountable. We can’t tell a PA that we’re waiting for the intern to send in the draft so we could review it and send it further to you. We know the transaction at hand, we know the client and if possible, we do actually involve interns.
Hope this helps a bit and good luck ahead!
Shaneen is the best. Great mentor and fantastic work!
There can be a monthly exception of 4 days a month, but that would entitle extra compensatory holiday for the employee.
Any comments on this law?
Reviews about the Partners to work with, teams to watch out for, salary, culture or just anything else in general?
[PS- I am going to be interning there soon (secured it via a reference), so would appreciate any insight, thanks!]
Indian law firms cannot compete with their foreign counterparts due to the sheer lack of trust on the employees and toxic positivity. Clearly not having a union for law firm lawyers does not help. Indian law firms are broken with no respect for their associates and with no positive REAL change being undertaken for the workforce.
Something small needs to change at all levels to make the work environment better. What are some meaningful real changes that you would like to see in your workplace (which are not just a hogwash) and how do we raise it?
I am a non NLU student (but a well reputed college) who, by some stroke of luck, was able to score an assessment with a T1 which eventually translated into a job. However, the practise area is not something I particularly enjoy, and see myself doing for the rest of my life.
Only issue is that the skills in this practise area are not transferrable at all. I will have to start from scratch wherever I go. Firm also has no rotation policy unfortunately.
If I go look for opportunities in a firm for another practise (Disputes/Cap Marks/M&A), will my T1 experience in a completely unrelated field boost my credibility, notwithstanding my sub par grades and lack of internships in the area?

Context is that a new management has now taken over the erstwhile Corporate Debtor and the CIRP process is complete. In light of the clean slate doctrine, claims of debt cannot be raised.
But this is a claim for compensation, not exactly a debt right? So a case can be filed?
On the other hand, Section 53(3)(ii) makes a reference to Section 326 of Companies Act, which in turn says that workmen dues includes claim of compensation u/ WCA
