[QUOTE="futuretraineesolicitor, post: 96576, member: 4098"] Hello, Shreyansh. Hope you are doing well. As an Indian law student, you have two choices. The first is to be a part of the India Internship programs conducted by Linklaters, Herbert Smith Freehills and Allen & Overy. Unfortunately, you won't be able to take part in any of these since you won't meet the requirements. These programs are only open to penultimate year undergraduate law students and because you are doing your masters, you won't be able to go ahead with these programs. The second route is applying to UK firms via the Direct Training Contract route. As per my understanding, you will clearly be eligible for all of the firms that have a Direct TC route. There are no differences in terms of the end result of the India Internship programs and the Direct TC route because both of these routes will lead you to a 2-year training contract wherein you will be able to sit in different departments across a 2 year period (for eg. corporate, disputes, finance, competition etc.). Ultimately, you can choose the department that you'd want to do for the rest of your life after trying out these departments for two years. Most firms will typically let you try four departments in the two year time period, however, firms like Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer allow you to do at least 6 seats (their website says 8 seats but not many trainees will do that many).
