The first day at the office was exciting. The team was warm.

After the introduction with the associates we were introduced to the Principal Associate [corrected] Namitha Matthews who is looking after the Corporate litigation and then to the Managing Partner Mr. Sacchin Puri.

Work environment and people

The professionalism was intensely evident. The associates gave a time limit to complete the allotted tasks. Though the work done was not of much labour but was expected to be accurate from our end.

There were times when I stayed back late in order to complete my targets. So, the environment was a one of nurturing character.
