Career

I am 25, a law graduate. After completing my degree, I interned with a law firm but realised that I don’t enjoy litigation. I’m now confused about whether to explore corporate law, academia, or something entirely different. I feel like I lack direction. I worry a lot about wasting my time in the wrong career. Can you help me figure out what I can do next?

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

If you are not interested in Law then try and reflect what kind of career will entice you. Figure out your interest areas by doing Swot analysis. Worrying is not going to help instead act. Hope this helps.

Thanks
Ashwini

sir i am law graduate. prafticed for 2 years.after marriage i wasnt allowed to praftice.Now after 35 years i intend to practice.Attended few interviews, but now age bar,no experience in any firm,and they mostly hire young freshers,interns.I dont have any clue what to do for future.but i want to work instead of sitting idel.what kind of job can i start where i can make sone money? either in law or other short term course which has prospects?

Ans: I'm sorry ...are you saying after 35 yrs you want to restart law practice!?

In order to practice the applicant must have attained the age of 21 years. There is no upper age limit for admission as an advocate, as affirmed by the Supreme Court in the case of Indian Council of Legal Aid and Advice vs. Bar Council of India (AIR 1995 Supreme Court 691).12 Feb 2024

Start representing people in simple matters as a standalone advocate, decide whether you want to specialise in Civil OR Criminal law... also know effective 1st July 2024 the IPC,Code of Criminal Procedure & Indian Evidence Act has been replaced by the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanchita, Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhinyam...

Now that's a task to learn all this over again every legal professional and Judge's to will have to come in tune with this.. Are you ready for the grind.!?

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist

I need career guidance, I am a recent graduate of my law degree but I was too immature to take that seriously at that time I kept thinking I will change my career from this and I kind of wasted my whole 5 years now i want to persue my career in corporate law only, but I am not able to find any internship of law firm. Can you guide me what should I do? Should I take any short course or what?

Ans: Transitioning into corporate law requires a focused strategy. Start by assessing your background and setting clear goals. Enhance your knowledge with targeted short courses, certifications, and industry seminars. Gain practical experience through internships, volunteer work, or freelance projects in legal departments—even if traditional law firm internships are scarce. Expand your network by engaging with professional organizations, alumni, and online platforms. Finally, tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight relevant coursework and experiences while addressing any gaps. Staying informed about industry trends and remaining persistent will help you break into corporate law. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.
