Q3. |
What salaries scales do
you offer? |
| |
|
| |
We pay salaries
commiserate with experience, seniority and the billing capability of the
associate. Where the billing capability is indeterminate, we offer a
trial period of probation with a salary revision on confirmation.
Start-up lawyers with no revenue stream generation capability are paid
salaries sufficient to secure autonomous if modest survival in Gurgaon
but not more. |

Q4. |

long-term prospects in N South? |

We consider
ourselves a caring law firm with good work, a good working environment
and no in house conflict. We work together, play together, vacation
together and party together on occasion. Our lawyers accumulate
experience and receive salary increases as their abilities increase.
Over the long term we offer partnership. We are a genuine equity sharing
partnership of first generation lawyers now in our 15th year of business
together. Our firm has no name partner. Both equity holding partners have progressed to
partnerships from associate status. We have a policy paper on
partnerships that we have followed. |
