First-day formalities, infrastructure, first impression
To be very honest, On the first day of the internship, the clerk of the office explained to me the office timings with the Disciplinary code of conduct that was to be followed in the office during work hours and then I was asked to introduce myself to all the associates of the office.
The office is easily traceable, located at a 5 minutes walk from Netaji Subhash metro station. The office is like any law firm with different work divided among all the associates, clerks, and juniors. During my time in the office, there was a total of 6 associates and 5 clerks and 1 manager.

On the first day, I was assigned the task of making judgement briefs reading provisions of the arbitration and conciliation act and consequent research on various case laws. Also, I did some sort of Miscellaneous work such as pagination, stamping, indexing, metadata, tracking etc.

During the period of my internship, I also attended hearings in all the District Courts of Delhi.
Work environment
The work environment of the office is quite strict as Sir Deepankur Sondhi is strict with punctuality and discipline. One can love the environment of the office as Sir usually use to interact with all the interns and other associates are also helpful and knowledgeable.

There are a couple of opportunities to learn different aspects of laws and their practical applicability like researching precedences, drafting and briefing as the number of matters the firm deals with is more.
Bad things
During my time there I didn’t find any complexity but time can be one of the issues for the interns.
