National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore today regained the top spot in India Today’s annual ranking of the top 25 Indian law schools, pushing Hyderabad’s National Academy of Legal Studies and Research University (NALSAR) back to second place.

Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co has significantly increased its recruitment of penultimate year students from one of India’s top law schools.

The firm’s Mumbai office has enlisted 11 fourth-year law students from National Law School of India University Bangalore (NLSIU).

National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore may expand internationally, as it plans to grow and modernise under the guidance of a new advisory board.

The advisory board will include managing partners from Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co, AZB & Partners and Luthra & Luthra, as well as one of the legendary co-founders of Infosys and a host of other prominent industry figures.

NLSIU vice-chancellor Venkata Rao (pictured) said that while international expansion will be on the agenda, decisions would only be made once the new board is fully constituted and has had its first meeting in July or August of this year.
