Likes

...are much better than other law firms & the office locations are very convenient.Bonus& appraisals are given every financial year on time without fail &monthly salary is also received on the 1st of every month- financial reliability from a law firm is rare in this city. 2 weeks paid annual leave & 1 monthly leave are taken by attorneys without any leave approval doubts whatsoever.Beyond that although salary is deducted for extra leaves,I don't know anyone who has been refused leave till date in my experience.The seniors are very approachable, accommodating of requests and genuinely concerned of the well-being of team members. Work life balance is in our hands-LLS lets every attorney choose their preferences without imposing restrictions, beyond prof ethics.

Dislikes

LLS does not rely on its brand name for work. It focuses solely on work which speaks for itself. However the management and teams have both experience and youth on their side, so the way ahead looks exciting.

Very good clientele and matters thus exposure and training in work is very good. Seniors grill you so much so that one can easily survive at any other place after switching job. Good exposure to courts and trademark / copyright office.

Dislikes

... one bothers about the security of an employee when they leave office very late. Availing more than 1 leave per month attracts pay deduction. Firm doesn't provide you one set of leaves that can be availed as per the situation like most of the office in the world. The more & longer you work, the better - quality of work is secondary and smart work has lesser recognition. Long sitting hours beyond official time definately pay well & help in getting promotions. No provision to work from home because of which lawyers have to sit back late. No digitisation of files in today's era and one has to read through bulky files and documents unavail. No offsites/annual days/intermingling between Gurgaon and Delhi offices. No conferences or seminars except INTA

I have been working at LLS for more than a decade now, ever since joining as a new law graduate. During my college days I interned with some IP firms in New Delhi, and I'm grateful that I finally got the opportunity to work at LLS. As a new Associate my knowledge was very limited. I was encouragingly guided by my Seniors and Partners both professionally and personally, which helped me to firmly establish myself as an Attorney. For hard work dedicated professionals the firm offers great remuneration and growth opportunities at all levels. High quality of work is demanded from the teams, which helps develop both the team and the individual. The work atmosphere is positive, professional and conducive to growth in a well-organized structure. There is no room for any politics, negativity etc. The Partners are extremely approachable and anyone can directly contact the Managing Partner, Mr. Rahul Chaudhry. While there is no pressure of billable targets, the firm is strict towards client satisfaction and meeting the deadline, earning it multiple awards from various consultancies, publications and many prestigious clients. The firm has unmitigated discipline in taking care of its people by ensuring timely paychecks, performance linked bonuses, promotion opportunities and ample leaves. The firm has a 5 day work week and offices are also available on other days, if required. The office provides good facilities such as modern work spaces, lunch cafeteria, pantry etc. There are frequent team building get-togethers outside the office. Till about 4 years back the offices were only in Gurgaon however with stellar growth the firm has set up a new office in Defence Colony, Delhi and has ambitious plans for expansion.

I have been working at LLS for over 11 years and this is the most rewarding, challenging and exciting time in my career. I started as an associate with the firm and have been in several different position over these years. I have had the chance to grow as a lawyer since I was given all possible support and guidance that a young lawyer needs. Additionally, very early on I was trusted to handle my matters independently and all of this, along with the tremendously fulling environment have helped me immensely in my career. LLS provided me with a team of seniors who are leaders in the field of IP Law and as a new lawyer, I was able to gain insights into the workings of the field of law through their work. The firm places alot of emphasis on ethical and proactive approach to work. It is also a highly competitive place with some of the most exciting clients and matters in IP to work on. For any lawyer looking to work at a place that provides an excellent work environment with great work and a fulfilling career, this is an amazing place to be at.
