4th year law student seeking guidance and networking

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. I am a 4th-year B.A. LL.B. student with a strong interest in corporate law, commercial contracts, legal drafting, and startup advisory. Over the past few years, I have gained practical exposure through internships where I worked on legal research, drafting notices, agreements, company law compliances, and other legal documents. I have recently started my journey as a legal freelancer and am eager to learn from experienced advocates, company secretaries, in-house counsel, and fellow law students. My goal is to continuously improve my drafting, research, and practical legal skills while building meaningful professional relationships. I joined LawyersClubIndia to network with professionals, seek guidance, participate in discussions, and learn from the valuable experiences shared by members of this community. I would greatly appreciate any advice on building a career in legal freelancing, developing practical skills, and creating long-term professional connections. Thank you, and I look forward to learning from all of you.

First search for good advocate and join his office as junior and well trained by him for at least five years and then after you can practice independently.

Yes. You enquire about the most experienced advocate and join his office as a junior without expecting a stipend, etc. You frequently attend court when your lawyer argues cases and to know other issues also.

Still you are required to learn more under the guidance of some local senior lawyer practicing specific area of your interest before starting your own practice as "freelancer".

You can work under an advocate having wide experience in the subject of choice for few years until you grow and develop your professional skill.

Choose one and join now.

Dear Vedika Khatri

Welcome to LawyersClubIndia Platform,

It is encouraging to see a law student taking a keen interest in corporate law, commercial contracts, legal drafting, and startup advisory at an early stage of your career.

My humble advice would be to continue strengthening your fundamentals in contract drafting, company law, civil procedure, arbitration, and legal research.

I would also encourage you to read judgments regularly, draft documents independently, seek constructive feedback from experienced practitioners, and never hesitate to ask questions. Every brief, however small, is an opportunity to learn.

I wish you all the very best in your legal journey. Stay curious, keep learning, and may your dedication lead you to a successful and fulfilling career in the legal profession.

Warm regards,

Prateek Tigala
