How big was the office? Team Strength?

The Amarchand office is huge, about six floors. The team strength was about 8 people.

9 am to 8 pm; Monday to Friday

Accommodation: How? Where? Reviews?

Home in Delhi itself, but one can find accommodation in Delhi very easily.

First Impression? First day? Formalities?

Long introduction procedure by the HR, not allowed to carry personal laptops, the normal induction process took place.

Main Tasks

Research on corporate propositions or orders.

Work Environment? People

The associates can be more friendly and try to motivate the interns.

I expected better from a tier 1 law firm.

Best things

One of the top firms in India- so its certificate holds a lot of value.

Things that could’ve been better

Attitude towards interns in general.

What did you do to chill? Co-interns

Break time essentially constitutes eating sandwiches on the stairs of the building, interns are very competitive so not much chilling.

Stipend

No stipend

Anything else you’d want to add

The food at the Amarchand & Magaldas canteen was good, however eating lunch in the basement area can be uncomfortable as you are surrounded by associates and partners.

Biggest lessons

If you do not have work from your team do not take work from litigation specially if you are a corporate intern. They will say it’s a small job, but it never is, and you end up getting scolded by your original team for not being available.
