For Law Students Only

Are you interested in learning about corporate law?

Do you want to know more about the different areas of work in a corporate law firm?

Do you want some exposure to corporate work, before deciding which area to specialize in, or before committing to a career in corporate law?

Do you want to be prepared with some new skills before your next corporate law firm internship?

Do you want to build a rejection-proof CV for a corporate law firm internship or job?

Are you facing any of the following challenges currently?

Do you want to apply for corporate internships, but find the roadmap to develop skills unclear?
Are you concerned about how you can build your CV to effectively secure corporate internships?
Do you sometimes wish that law school taught you how to prepare for a career in corporate law?
Does a lack of response or rejection to job and internship applications demotivate you somewhere?
Do you sometimes wonder what else you can do to secure a career in a corporate law firm or a company, apart from participation in moots, conferences, writing articles and working as hard as you can?
Have you faced difficulty in asking seniors at a law firm to give you more challenging work, or to train you?
Do you feel that despite having the willingness to work hard, you don’t have enough opportunities to prove yourself?

The real reasons why law students struggle with corporate law

#1 - Corporate law is abstract and not relatable

Think about an area of law that you are interested in. It may be criminal law, family law or constitutional law, public international law, or another subject.

Now, recall how you developed an interest in this subject.

Usually, it is because of one or more of the following reasons:

You can relate to the subject, and understand the motives of the parties involved. Case laws are readable and understandable. For example, It is understandable if someone is going through a divorce, or being arrested for something.
You may have read deeply about the subject, maybe for a moot court competition, or for a conference, or published an article, which made you understand it more deeply and even develop an interest in it.
You may have been appreciated by your peer group. For example, when you represented your college in a moot court competition, and maybe your team performed well. You may have experienced a sense of camaraderie with your team.

It is not so easy to relate to corporate law or to understand it.

For example, how should one comprehend a cross-border M&A transaction?

What is the purpose of regulating an IPO?

Why do lawyers need to undertake diligence?

How does working on a multi-million dollar loan make a difference in the grand scheme of things?

If you cannot relate to it, you will not be interested in it.

You will not be able to pursue it deeply.

You will struggle to excel.

#2 - Company law textbooks do not explain the work performed by lawyers in law firms and companies

Companies Act textbooks and case laws do not examine and explain commercial deals and transactions, or the motivations of different parties.

Instead, they explain the provisions of the Act and how they were interpreted, without really explaining the context. They do not explain the work performed by corporate lawyers every day.

That is why despite a lot of hard work and sincere efforts, thousands of dedicated law students are unable to make progress by reading corporate law textbooks.

#3 - There is insufficient guidance from seniors and faculty related to law firm jobs and internships

Our law school faculty has the mandate of teaching us the subject - not professionally coaching and mentoring us to get law firm or corporate jobs.

If you are fortunate, you may find excellent faculty for teaching you Companies Act, Banking Regulation Act, the SEBI Act, or Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Unfortunately, the study of the statutes and case law is quite different from everyday work.

Now, it will be unfair to expect your law school faculty to teach you how to perform the work in a law firm or in a company.

The college syllabus does not require that.

In fact, such teaching may even deviate from your college syllabus.

Every law student does not take up law to work in a law firm or a company, either.

Some colleges organize guest lectures with practitioners. Often, interactions are usually too limited and unstructured to learn the requisite number of necessary skills.

#4 - Those who succeed attribute their success to vague reasons such as ‘common sense, ‘hard work’, ‘internships’ or moots that do not offer you concrete action plans for your life

When you ask your seniors about how they cracked law firm internships or secured law firm jobs or advice on interview preparation, they may attribute their success to one or more of the following factors:

Hard work
Participation in a lot of moots
A ‘good’ CV
Good seniors
Common sense
Some luck

You might hear an excellent narrative from a senior, but does it provide you with the direction or a roadmap necessary to apply to your life?

By the way, an astounding number of law students do not get access to law firm jobs and internship opportunities, despite ALL the above accomplishments!

You will be surprised to know that none of the following reasons can damage your prospects...

If you are not from an NLU
If you are a first-generation lawyer
If you have not studied company law in college, or if you couldn't understand it or found it boring
If you studied arts or science in Class XII and not commerce
If you do not understand accounts, or if you were petrified of maths in school
If you have not pursued a corporate internship so far
If you are not a batch topper

If you are a law student and you follow the 6 steps below, you can significantly increase your preparedness and progress towards a corporate internship or law firm job in a practice area of your interest, which offers recognition, growth opportunities and a good salary.

Our 6-step method to identify your interest and prepare for a corporate career

#1 - Conscious approach: Get exposure to the work performed by the different practice areas of a law firm through live classes, study materials and templates

The first step is to understand the work performed by different departments of a law firm. What is the daily work in each practice area? What does a client want from the law firm?

What if you could learn about at least one or two kinds of transactions performed by four different practice areas of a law firm?

This step builds understanding and relatability with the subject, and also makes it relevant. You will learn about these through four live classes, study materials, templates and exercises.

#2 - Focus on problem-solving vs. analysis or passive learning: Attempt the work keeping in mind the client’s commercial intent

What is a client’s commercial intent with the other parties involved in the transaction? How does a corporate lawyer take care of it?

What are the activities that must be performed to serve the client? What does the corporate lawyer’s output to the client look like?

No amount of studying and reading case laws or advice from seniors can explain this.

You will need to go through the ride, to be able to grasp this aspect.

Attempting 8 practical exercises in a month will give you an experience of what serving a corporate client feels like.

How is this different from what you have already been doing?

This method is very different from an approach of reading or analysis of case law. This is a problem-solving approach.

Because it is extremely difficult to imagine these situations on one’s own and try solving them.

In fact, it can take a few months or even years in law school to learn what you can learn in a month.

You must be wondering whether you can learn this in internships?

Rarely.

The real problem statements faced by partners and associates seldom trickle down to the intern. You get to work on a minuscule portion of the problem.

We curate the situations and training to give you an experience of the most important skills, and that is why you are able to quickly make progress.

#3 - Improve your capabilities with feedback and practice

Feedback is the most important aspect to improve performance. However, it is rarely provided in our education system.

While you obtain marks after passing an exam or submitting a moot court memorial, there are limited opportunities to identify where and how you can improve.

Where it is available, feedback is extremely generic, and you may not receive concrete action points and corrections.

What if someone took the trouble to read your draft in detail and give you in-line coaching in writing on how to improve?

What if they were willing to discuss any doubts you face while attempting the problem or questions on the feedback that you have received?

Would that enhance your learning?

Would that prepare you better for an internship, or an interview, or a job?

This step is a huge differentiator. It enables you to quickly make progress and march ahead of those who have been reaching and studying for months or even a few years.

#4 - Execute an advanced strategy based on an informed decision

After you have exposure to the work performed in different practice areas, you are finally in a position to make an informed decision about whether corporate law interests you or not, or which area to specialize in, based on your interest.

Guess what? It will take you only one month to arrive at this point.

From here onward, you can identify the top few players in that area, and as you acquire more skillsets, you can build a portfolio of work, publish articles and apply to them for opportunities over a period of time.

This step will ensure that your preparation is very focused. Every step that you take will make you progress by leaps and bounds, in comparison to others in your peer group, simply because of conscious and focussed effort.

Those who are interested will also have the opportunity to pursue in-depth learning in their chosen field of interest through our Executive Certificate and Diploma courses and build further expertise.

#5: Learn how to share your work online and apply for opportunities

Every week, we will also guide you on how to share your learnings in your professional network, and how to reach out to seniors and mentors.

This will expand your professional network and also increase your credibility.

Many of our students have been able to secure work or internship and job opportunities because of persistent outreach efforts.

#6: Obtain placement assistance

Once you have done some focussed skill-acquisition on corporate law, it is time to seek out opportunities!

You will have access to placement assistance from our placement cell for obtaining internships. They had successfully guided 50 law students in securing internships in under two months of lockdown!

Please note that we are offering support from our placement cell. Actual internships and placements are not guaranteed, and a lot depends upon your own effort.

You will need to complete all the course work to be eligible for support from our placement cell. You may be asked to acquire additional expertise as well on a subject, or expand your portfolio of work, to ensure that your applications are appropriately customized for the firms that you want to work at.

In some cases, the placement cell may advise you to improve upon basics, such as written English or grammar.

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 month, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.

I am likely to have a busy schedule this year because of academics, co-curricular activities or enrollment in other courses like the CS course. Will this course be very demanding or time-consuming?

The course is designed keeping in mind the schedule of practising lawyers, working professionals, entrepreneurs and full-time students. The learnings are well spread out over a long period.

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.

Is it possible for a person who doesn't know the law to study independently with the material given?

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.

Is there placement or internship assistance for candidates who enrol in the course?

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.

What is an online Live class?

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.

Are hard copy study materials provided for reference, or are there only online classes?

In general, we provide hard copies to our students. As an exception to this rule, we do not provide hard copies to students of the introductory courses due to its short duration.

Please visit the respective course page to learn more about the hard copy study material policy of that course.

Can I get personal guidance in working on assignments that I find challenging?

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.

How is our training methodology unique and industry-proven? Is it endorsed by the legal industry in India or abroad?

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.

Are there going to be classroom sessions?

Yes, in all our introductory 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.

Live sessions on exercises shared will be conducted online every week.

Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.

What if I cannot attend the classroom sessions?

Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value. Students who miss the session can watch the recorded versions of the sessions conducted on the Learning Management System (LMS) and the assignment portal (anything that is easier for you, it is uploaded on both platforms). We will add the recorded session to LMS within 48 working hours.

It is highly recommended that you complete weekly exercises. It is mandatory to submit 100% of subject exercises per course requirement.

All study materials, including text, videos, drafting exercises, templates and regular tests, will be available only on the LMS and accessed using your login ID for the LMS. Students can also access the course through the state of the art mobile Apps, making learning convenient and accessible on a real-time basis.

I cannot find my question here. How do I proceed?

For any other help or clarification, or grievance, please write to us at [email protected].

Our student support team representative will write back to you with a personalized response within 24 working hours.

Don’t forget to mention your Enrollment Number, Course and Batch when you communicate with LawSikho.

We are closed on Sundays and Central Government Gazetted Holidays.
