Accommodation: how, where, how was it? 

As I am not from Delhi, so I was staying in PG in Lakshmi Nagar.

First impression. First day, formalities etc.

Office is in Jungpura near Nizamuddin Railway Station so it could be found easily. Personally I liked the work environment a lot.

On first day I met one of the associate who is from NLS. He was very good and humble. He asked about my profile. Then I was given some to files to work upon them. From the first day the work schedule was very tight.

Main tasks

The firm deals in all cases. Most of the cases were of Income Tax. I had to draft, research and accompany associates to Distrct Courts, NGT, High Court, Supreme Court and other forums.

Work environment, people

Work environment was very good. Associates and working staff were very nice. Timing was flexible. Many a times me and my associate have lunch together. After office he sometime drops me near my PG.
