About the Job
KGLC is looking to further expand its team and retain two (2) associates for its Disputes and Corporate Advisory Practice in Bangalore.
Eligibility
- Law degree from a BCI-recognised university.
- Prior internship experience in disputes and/or corporate advisory.
- PQE: 0–3 years.
What They Offer
- Close, one-on-one mentorship on strategy, drafting, and courtroom/client work, with active feedback on written and oral advocacy.
- Early responsibility: associates are expected to take ownership of matters, including first drafts of pleadings, research notes, opinions, and participation in client meetings and conferences.
- Integrated disputes: matters typically cut across commercial litigation, arbitration, advisory and transactional support, allowing associates to see disputes from contract-drafting to enforcement.
- An expanding office that encourages initiative, independent thinking, and direct engagement with clients, rather than compartmentalised back-end work.
Retainership
Commensurate with qualifications, experience, and performance.
Location
26, 1st Cross, Magrath Road, Next to Garuda Mall, Bangalore 560025.
