New avenues
Earlier, the profession of practicing law was limited to criminal and civil litigation. But now, the opportunities available for graduates from any of the top Law Schools are phenomenal. After the liberalization of India's economy, there is a huge demand for highly skilled lawyers who are adept in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, infrastructure contracts, debt restructuring, FEMA regulations, IPRs, corporate governance, private equity deals, WTO law etc. Law firms, both international as well as domestic, regularly recruit such lawyers in large numbers. Same is the case with big companies like TATA, Reliance, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, ICICI Bank, etc.
Students who do not like joining business law can find greener pastures in the environment or Human Rights in reputed organizations like CSE, ICRC, UNHCR, etc. For LLM students from premier Law schools, Business Laws and IP Laws are the branches, which offer excellent career opportunities.
Most of the magic circle and silver circle law firms like Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy, Herbert Smith, Simmons, etc. visit Indian campuses to recruit students for their various offices across the globe. Almost all the Indian law firms like Luthra and Luthra, Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB Partners, Nishith Desai Associates have also begun recruiting from the Law Schools.
