A lot of things. Starting from the rude behavior of partners, and senior associate to the work environment, everything is toxic. The environment is so toxic that even completing one single day becomes a task. For a normal person, it is not possible to survive here, until and unless you cry minimum once a day. You will be scolded brutally for coming 5 mins late, for having lunch with colleagues, for taking breaks more than 10 minutes, for leaving on time and what not. You will be made to sit and work the whole night and then also, the next morning you will be brutally scolded for absolutely no reason at all. Most of the time, the kind of work they delegate is of absolute no use. They don't even have proper staff, I dont know why they call it a firm when the situation there is way worse than working in a chamber. They don't have HR, Admin person, a good printer or nice lighting in the room. The basement area stinks because of sewage is leaking and there is no one to fix it. From resources to human resources, they lack in everything. Even apart from this, the toxicity is unbearable and unimaginable. An example is that they don't have leave policy for the associates. They will cut salary for every single day, even when you are deadly sick or when someone from your family has died. Only when you complete one year at this firm, they will give you money in the name of leave encashment. Even the firm knows that the employee fluctuation is too high and therefore they use these tricks to harass their employees. They even use the sandwich policy which means your salary for sunday will be deducted if you dont go on Saturday and Monday. The firm doesn't pay on time as well, it never paid on 1st. It keeps changing according to its convenience. Sometimes on 3rd, 7th, 10th, or 15th. Since they don't have staff, the associates are required to carry out personal work of the partners, do HR work, clerical work, admin work in the working hours and post working hours you are required to do the actual work and sit overnight and still listen to harsh, rude and mean words of the partners. Only one tip-Do not join even if you remain unemployed....Read More

Worst experience ever! Would not recommend. Neither they have any substantive work nor there's any organizational setup!

It was nice working at ASP. The work culture is not very formal and the partners can be great mentors. I was given the opportunity to independently work on high value litigations and arbitrations. Timings are strict and one has to put in long working hours.

One of the best working experiences. I joined as a rookie associate and got leadership guidance and support. Variety of work and lots to learn for an associate. New ideas and suggestions are encouraged from all.
