What to send
For every role, three things:
- A curriculum vitae, one or two pages.
- A covering note of no more than a page, saying what you want to do and why this firm. Generic notes are obvious and do not help you.
- A writing sample — a pleading, research note, memo or essay of your own work, with anything confidential redacted. For interns, a good academic piece is fine.
Where to send it
To contact@samaantalawfirm.com, with the position in the subject line: “Associate — Litigation”, “Associate — Corporate”, “Internship” or “Research”. Attach documents as PDFs.
What happens next
- Acknowledgement within one working day.
- First review within a week. The writing sample is read first.
- Conversation, in person at the Delhi office or by video. This is a discussion about the work, not a viva. You should ask us questions too.
- Exercise, for associate roles: a short drafting or research task with a realistic deadline, so we both see how the work actually goes.
- Offer or decline, with a reason either way.
A note on reapplying
A decline is not permanent. Several people here were unsuccessful on a first approach and joined later. If you reapply, tell us what has changed.
