About the Research Internship
The Chambers is looking for 5th-year and final-year law students to work as Research Interns on a paid basis. The role focuses on detailed and in-depth legal research that supports hearings in complex litigation matters.
The assignments can involve multiple legal issues and often carry tight timelines. According to the opportunity notice, several assignments may run back-to-back and require high-priority research across different dimensions of a dispute.
This Regulatory Litigation Research Internship follows a work-from-anywhere (WFA) model. Therefore, selected interns can undertake the role remotely while supporting research-intensive litigation work.
The internship is also intended as a long-term engagement, with one position opening after six months as stated in the opportunity notice.
Practice Areas and Courts
The internship provides exposure to a broad range of regulatory litigation, patent litigation and white collar crime matters. Assignments may involve proceedings before the following courts and forums:
- Supreme Court of India

- NCLT
- Sessions Courts
The matters may involve complex legal questions under several statutes, including the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), Companies Act, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), TRAI Act, Prevention of Corruption Act, and Patents Act.
As a result, the role can suit students who want to develop experience in regulatory law, corporate disputes, insolvency, patent litigation or white collar crime matters.
