The first step requires you to identify the different types of law firms and the work they perform, the types of solutions provided to clients, the skills required to work in a law firm and the expectations from an associate.
You cannot prepare for all of them, but we train our students to learn the work and skillset of an associate with 2 years of experience. At the entry level, if you have that much skill, you will easily stand out, and law firms will find you to be an excellent hire.
You need to identify the gap between where you need to be and where you stand currently. This is the starting point.
The next step is to start learning the skills which you need to acquire, one at a time.
For instance, if you want to work in a law firm in the M&A and investment team, you need to learn about deal structuring, due diligence, drafting of SHA and SSA and other relevant agreements, learn how negotiations take place, deal compliance, and various regulations that govern these deals. Out of these things, you can specifically learn the things that junior lawyers are expected to do, such as filing specific forms with the RBI, managing the data room, preparing due diligence questionnaires and requisition lists, writing due diligence reports and so on.
On the other hand, if you want to get a role in an arbitration or disputes team, you have to learn very different skills. For instance, you should learn how to draft litigation and arbitration related documents and have a great grasp of procedural laws.
To succeed in this stage, you have to proceed in a highly focussed direction, in comparison to your peers who will probably do more general things based on the wisdom of the masses - such as read pink newspapers or read textbooks on company law! None of that is bad, but probably not enough to see them through to their end goals.
You are free to acquire these essential skills on your own or take up a course with us to accelerate your journey.
At this stage, you will see that the world is flat for all young lawyers and that every law firm opportunity is accessible and within your reach, provided you can demonstrate that you will be a highly productive young associate once hired and not spend a lot of time trying to learn the basics.
After you have acquired the skills necessary to work in a law firm in the sector in which you are interested, it is time to demonstrate what you know to the public. You need to have people who know about your interest and commitment to learning more about the area of work you have chosen and the effort you have put into that direction through consistent pursuit.
How can you demonstrate all these things?
There are plenty of methods to accomplish this. Writing blog posts and articles, attending or organizing events or webinars, creating youtube videos or podcasts, doing internships, helping startups or other entities in need of help and pro bono legal support, running helplines - there are a lot of things one can do in order to build up such track record.
You may choose what works best for you based on your talents and proclivities.
You can publish practice-area specific articles, create explainer videos of the problems faced by clients in these areas and even perform real work for startups and people who need legal help. You can file PILs or work with NGOs and voluntary organizations, or even business associations to help them with their legal needs.
This is the best way to build up a stellar CV and even a professional network that you can count on.
Let’s say that I want to land a competition law job. What should I be doing here?
I should try to go for competition law events and moots, even as a volunteer if not as a participant, go for competition law specific internships, work as a research assistant for competition lawyers and professors who specialise in this area of law, organize or volunteer in an event related to competition law, present papers in the subject, write articles and blog posts about it, or even start a podcast where you invite competition lawyers and interview them!
What if you just write an analysis on 50 most important competition law judgments by COMPAT? How many competition lawyers will probably read it?
There is a whole lot you can do to create a track record and demonstrate a sustained interest in the area, and it goes a long way to bag you amazing opportunities.
This is the part where you create deep and meaningful relationships in the legal industry that will help you to bag jobs, internships and even client opportunities.
While most young lawyers are dependent on one senior to mentor and train them, you will have the opportunity of reaching out to hundreds of seniors and selecting your mentors.
Most junior lawyers have one-way communication with seniors, where they are asking for a job or internship and following up on this communication after not receiving a response.
In comparison, you can share your work for feedback, actively interact with lawyers on social media and start richer, deeper and more long-term relationships and add value.
Your interactions will be rich and covering a wide range of topics. You may receive insights about the industry in informal conversations that your peers will have no idea about.
You can also learn to use tools like informational interviews to learn more about various areas of practice and find mentors who can help you.
Networking and having people who will vouch for you and who refer you to opportunities increases your chances by manifold.
Most young lawyers perform this step without any of the prior steps. This leads to their preparation being very superficial. Most are, in fact, thinking that they will go and learn from the internship itself, and they do not prepare themselves for these internships prior to joining the internship.
This results in their inability to create any significant opportunity out of the internship.
While they know that they must be confident, they often end up nervous in internships or interviews, wait passively for work to be delegated, or questions to be asked by the interviewer. This is primarily because they do not know what to expect next. This is not how top performers function.
In the case of LawSikho students, 90 percent of your job preparation is actually complete by the time you arrive at this stage.
If you prepare as per the method explained above, your CV will stand out, your job and internship emails will be compelling and opened by the recruiter, your follow-up efforts will be effective, and you will get responses. You will also have good lawyers willing to put in a word or even vouch for you with their friends and colleagues.
Your interview will also give a very different impression to the recruiter in comparison to other young lawyers.
In order to ensure that you are fully prepared, you should practice a few mock interviews.
Getting a job is just the start. Next comes the hard part, performing every day so you can actually succeed as a lawyer. Law firms are notorious for firing people who do not manage to perform within the first 3-6 months.
You may have heard of the legendary work pressure, long hours and stress.
This happens because most law graduates who join law firms are very underprepared for the work they have to do.
What do they end up doing?
You need to learn several skills to avoid this situation. There are hard legal skills you should know, but there are many soft skills you need as well.
Research, communication, time management, how to handle multiple deadlines, how to organise your work, how to take feedback from seniors, how to find out the gap between what you want and what your boss wants - there is a lot to learn.
If you perform well on the other hand, which we teach our students to do, you can, in fact, get a higher bonus than your peers and get promoted within the firm much faster.
It will take a while if you want to learn and implement the solutions to all these problems. I assure you that we cannot teach all these in a 5-hour workshop; rather, it takes about a year of hard work from your side and ours, in most cases.
We have been training lawyers and law students to get through law firms and not only that but excel in their work for many years now.
We have helped hundreds of lawyers to build stable law firm careers.
Want to know how we can help?

Standard
It is not a full-blown LawSikho course. It is only a workshop intended to introduce you to the processes and study materials that will get you started on the path. While some advanced level students may get enough material and training in this workshop alone to crack law firm jobs, most others will likely need far more help.
Please do not think that this workshop will certainly get you through a big law firm next week, because that is not what we promise. This is a workshop to provide you with a pathway and an action plan, along with tools that will give you an immediate boost in your journey.
If nothing else, you will be able to quantify and understand the gap between where you are and where you need to go, and you will know what you will have to do in order to get there.
Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, none of our courses is recognised, accredited, or validated by any university, government or third party. We consider government regulatory standards as an impediment to offering high-quality courses we offer at an affordable cost, offering informal, non recognised courses rather than collaborating with formal universities.
This course is offered as a skill development course by a private company. LawSikho is India’s leading online legal education provider and provides high-quality legal courses that teach you how to do practical legal work as required by the industry.
For any recruiter or client, what matters the most is whether you possess the relevant skills to match their needs and serve their interests. We will train you in rare and important skills that are highly in-demand and our initiative is one of a kind.
Experts review the syllabus and course content for all the courses. These experts are drawn from law firms and the industry at large. The course is conceptualised, coordinated and marketed by LawSikho, a venture that aims to make justice accessible to people from all walks of life through access to superior legal knowledge.
The legal industry knows and respects our work, and they know that anyone who finished our course and obtained certification has a certain level of knowledge and skills. If nothing else, you will be appreciated for the knowledge and skills you would acquire through our courses and would be able to demonstrate after due completion.
We recommend that you should have completed your Higher Secondary / Class XII from a recognized Board / University. In the case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with the English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a University or college. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to join our courses.
Students of LawSikho will be provided hard copy materials within 30 days of your course commencement date.
However, online classes, videos, regulatory updates and periodic upgrades to the courses cannot be included in the hard copies. We will provide you with hard copy material for all important chapters. We keep adding many new chapters from time to time and there are restrictions on page numbers so all online material cannot be available in hard copy. We would keep adding new material online from time to time, so please do not expect all such material to be made available in the hard copy also. You can use the hard copy materials for your reference, however, we recommend that you do not exclusively rely on hard copies for cracking the assessment test and the exercises. Please refer to the online library of materials from time to time.
Note: We will send hard copy material through our service partners. We have three service partners.
1. Indian Speed Post (Provides delivery ‘anywhere in India’ under contractual service)
2. Delhivery
3. Trackon Couriers Pvt Limited
If our service partners do not have a presence in your area and want to get the hard copy, you can send us a specific request.
LawSikho will not be responsible if the speed post bounces back or hard copy material is not delivered. We will levy the courier charge on you in such a scenario.
Please visit the respective course page to learn more about the hard copy study material policy of that course.
If international students require hard copy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of the courier which they need to pay and then the hard copy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for the courier.

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best.

You need to take this course one week at a time.
We do not guarantee that you will pass the course without putting in reasonable effort or attention. Still, the exact amount of time you would need to dedicate depends on your ability to grasp the material.
Yes, knowledge of the law is not a prerequisite for deriving value from the course. It is possible that what you learn in this course is entirely independent of any other course you have probably pursued or are pursuing. The course is designed keeping in mind that there will be many non-lawyers taking up this course. The only knowledge we assume is what one would expect to know after completing higher secondary school. All modules are reviewed from a high school graduate's perspective and ensured that they are effortless to understand.
You only require knowledge of the English language and basic computer skills to understand the concepts.
An active placement assistance program is available to students, including CV-writing, career guidance, and sharing of relevant job and internship opportunities. Job and internship opportunities will be shared with students on the WhatsApp group from time to time. Students who complete the exercises and perform well in those exercises and classes can be recommended to law firms, lawyers chambers and companies for jobs and internships. However, we do not guarantee any job or internship.
We have also started a career clinic for the benefit of our students. Students can visit our office in Delhi or seek career-related insights over phone or video calls on pre-designated days. More than 2000 positions have been shared with our students to date, and hundreds have got placements and internships through us. Our students have been placed in various law firms and other organisations as full-time employees and have obtained multiple opportunities for internships under the programme. How many opportunities you get will depend on your efforts in the course, and if you do the course well, you will be able to find jobs on your own.
We will also provide you with a career development course free of cost if you need it. Just ask our customer support if and when you need it after participating in at least three months of classes.
We also help you enhance your CV by writing and publishing articles and giving you networking exercises and coaching to build your professional network. Creating your professional network can make excellent opportunities available to you that you cannot even imagine today.
For more details, please see the placement assistance guidelines given on the course page.

Even before you start dealing with real-life cases and matters, we train you to do such work through simulation exercises. This experience is invaluable for ambitious lawyers. Think of our courses like an online gym or a martial arts dojo for learning legal skills that will make you amazingly successful.

LawSikho courses are offered by a private company as a solution to learn practical skills. There is no recognition, no accreditation and no affiliation from the government or any University or any third party unless specifically mentioned otherwise.
Weekly exercises are very important to learn the practical aspects for which you joined the course. You get sufficient time to complete those. In case you can’t finish them within the due date, you get an extension to complete them with a deduction of a few marks.
You will not get a LawSikho certificate if you fail to submit the required number of assignments and articles. These are mandatory requirements for obtaining the certificate and value of the course for which you enrolled.
The certificate will have the Grade on it. If students want to know their scores, they can write to us at [email protected]. We will provide their scores.

You must complete the required number of assignments and the MCQ test to complete the course successfully. They are mandatory requirements. You won’t get the LawSikho certificate if you fail to fulfil these requirements.
There are many certified courses in the market, including LLB, a qualifying criterion for becoming a lawyer. The problem is that even after doing them, people do not have the requisite advanced level practical skills needed to succeed. You can learn these things from our courses. Our students who are already working earn over Rs 1 lakh per month on average. That should give you an idea about what is so beneficial about our courses!
Note: You can check our Government of India Recognized courses in the course section.
An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.
We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.
Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.
Note: The Government of India has recognized some of our courses. You can find those courses and other details in the course section of our official website www.lawsikho.com
A student who secures 70% or more in the final assessment of any MEPSC and Skill India recognized course of LawSikho would be eligible for the MEPSC and Skill India certification.
Yes, in all our premium courses, there are live weekly classroom sessions. Apart from one session related to your course, sometimes you will be invited to attend extra free sessions on writing, networking or other relevant skills. However, the course is conducted through an online learning management system, enabling students to access study materials from anywhere in the world at their own time and convenience. Course materials will be accessible on the online learning management system, which you can assess on a laptop/desktop. You can also access the course on your phone by downloading the LawSikho app. We may upload some course materials around the time of your class about the relevant issue. Apart from this, you will have access to significant hard copy material as well.
Live sessions on exercises shared will be conducted online every week. Once or twice a month, you will also have a session on writing influential articles and networking skills. In total, students will have 5-6 live sessions every month. At times there could be extra sessions that are optional to attend.
Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.
Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value.

Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, none of our courses is recognised, accredited, or validated by any university, government or third party. We consider government regulatory standards as an impediment to offering high-quality courses we offer at an affordable cost, offering informal, non recognised courses rather than collaborating with formal universities.
This course is offered as a skill development course by a private company. LawSikho is India’s leading online legal education provider and provides high-quality legal courses that teach you how to do practical legal work as required by the industry.
For any recruiter or client, what matters the most is whether you possess the relevant skills to match their needs and serve their interests. We will train you in rare and important skills that are highly in-demand and our initiative is one of a kind.
Experts review the syllabus and course content for all the courses. These experts are drawn from law firms and the industry at large. The course is conceptualised, coordinated and marketed by LawSikho, a venture that aims to make justice accessible to people from all walks of life through access to superior legal knowledge.
The legal industry knows and respects our work, and they know that anyone who finished our course and obtained certification has a certain level of knowledge and skills. If nothing else, you will be appreciated for the knowledge and skills you would acquire through our courses and would be able to demonstrate after due completion.
We recommend that you should have completed your Higher Secondary / Class XII from a recognized Board / University. In the case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with the English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a University or college. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to join our courses.
Students of LawSikho will be provided hard copy materials within 30 days of your course commencement date.
However, online classes, videos, regulatory updates and periodic upgrades to the courses cannot be included in the hard copies. We will provide you with hard copy material for all important chapters. We keep adding many new chapters from time to time and there are restrictions on page numbers so all online material cannot be available in hard copy. We would keep adding new material online from time to time, so please do not expect all such material to be made available in the hard copy also. You can use the hard copy materials for your reference, however, we recommend that you do not exclusively rely on hard copies for cracking the assessment test and the exercises. Please refer to the online library of materials from time to time.
Note: We will send hard copy material through our service partners. We have three service partners.
1. Indian Speed Post (Provides delivery ‘anywhere in India’ under contractual service)
2. Delhivery
3. Trackon Couriers Pvt Limited
If our service partners do not have a presence in your area and want to get the hard copy, you can send us a specific request.
LawSikho will not be responsible if the speed post bounces back or hard copy material is not delivered. We will levy the courier charge on you in such a scenario.
Please visit the respective course page to learn more about the hard copy study material policy of that course.
If international students require hard copy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of the courier which they need to pay and then the hard copy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for the courier.
A person can visit the official website of LawSikho and find the relevant course and see the course syllabus, learning objectives and even a list of weekly exercises.

The refund policy may vary. We advise you to go through the refund policy given on the respective course page to know the actual refund policy applied to you.

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best. Live classes will relate to the week’s assignments. You can read the modules from module 1, but we advise you to follow the courses according to where the assignments take you. By the end of the year, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.
If it feels complicated and challenging midway, do not worry. The course is designed like this. You need to stick to it, hold on for dear life and ride along as you ride a roller coaster. Our responsibility is that you are satisfied and get all the results that you were promised by the end. If you are not, you can hold us responsible.

You need to take this course one week at a time.
We do not guarantee that you will pass the course without putting in reasonable effort or attention. Still, the exact amount of time you would need to dedicate depends on your ability to grasp the material.
Yes, knowledge of the law is not a prerequisite for deriving value from the course. It is possible that what you learn in this course is entirely independent of any other course you have probably pursued or are pursuing. The course is designed keeping in mind that there will be many non-lawyers taking up this course. The only knowledge we assume is what one would expect to know after completing higher secondary school. All modules are reviewed from a high school graduate's perspective and ensured that they are effortless to understand.
You only require knowledge of the English language and basic computer skills to understand the concepts.
An active placement assistance program is available to students, including CV-writing, career guidance, and sharing of relevant job and internship opportunities. Job and internship opportunities will be shared with students on the WhatsApp group from time to time. Students who complete the exercises and perform well in those exercises and classes can be recommended to law firms, lawyers chambers and companies for jobs and internships. However, we do not guarantee any job or internship.
We have also started a career clinic for the benefit of our students. Students can visit our office in Delhi or seek career-related insights over phone or video calls on pre-designated days. More than 2000 positions have been shared with our students to date, and hundreds have got placements and internships through us. Our students have been placed in various law firms and other organisations as full-time employees and have obtained multiple opportunities for internships under the programme. How many opportunities you get will depend on your efforts in the course, and if you do the course well, you will be able to find jobs on your own.
We will also provide you with a career development course free of cost if you need it. Just ask our customer support if and when you need it after participating in at least three months of classes.
We also help you enhance your CV by writing and publishing articles and giving you networking exercises and coaching to build your professional network. Creating your professional network can make excellent opportunities available to you that you cannot even imagine today.
For more details, please see the placement assistance guidelines given on the course page.

The problem is that even after doing them, people do not have the requisite advanced level practical skills needed to succeed. You can learn these things from our courses.

An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.
We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.
Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.
Note: The Government of India has recognized some of our courses. You can find those courses and other details in the course section of our official website www.lawsikho.com
