About
Law firm, in-house counsel, litigation, compliance or the judiciary. The route is a five-year integrated LLB after Class 12 or a three-year LLB after graduation, then the bar and years as a junior. Litigation, legal research and legal writing are the skills the graph sees before people move on, most often into operations or compliance leadership. Pune, Mumbai and Delhi appear most. Early years are long hours and modest pay in exchange for training.
