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 environment or human rights in reputed organisations 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.

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.
