Join us
Learn where
it is argued.
Our partners appear on record in the Supreme Court, before the High Courts and across the specialist tribunals. Lawyers who join us are in those rooms early, on matters where the argument decides the outcome.
You will be in the room
Associates attend conferences, hearings and tribunal appearances from the start, working to the partner conducting the matter. You cannot learn advocacy from the file note of a hearing you did not sit through.
You will get feedback you can use
Drafts come back marked up, with reasons. Once a quarter, a proper conversation about what you are doing well and what you are not.
You will build a real specialism
Electricity and infrastructure regulation is a jurisdiction of its own, with its own tribunal, its own commissions and its own settled body of tariff law. It is not taught anywhere; it is learned in the proceedings. So is insolvency practice before the NCLT, and so, now, is data protection.
Hours will be real, and so will limits
Hearings and filing deadlines do not move, and we meet them. Beyond that we do not manufacture urgency, and we do not treat time at a desk as a substitute for work.
Drafting petitions, applications and written submissions for proceedings before the High Courts, the NCLT and the tribunals, and assisting in the preparation of Supreme Court matters. You will be in court from your first months, and carrying your own matters within your second year.
We are looking for: a law degree from a recognised Indian institution, enrolment with a State Bar Council or eligibility to enrol, sound procedural knowledge, and writing clear enough to be filed. Prior litigation internship experience is useful but not required.
A senior role in the firm’s regulatory practice: tariff and true-up petitions, power purchase disputes, change-in-law and force majeure claims, and appeals before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity and onward to the Supreme Court.
We are looking for: working knowledge of the Electricity Act and the regulations made under it, the patience to read a tariff order properly, and the ability to construct an argument from a commission’s own past reasoning. Experience before APTEL or a State commission is a considerable advantage.
Domestic and institutional arbitration alongside company law and insolvency proceedings before the NCLT and NCLAT, with drafting responsibility and appearances from the outset.
We are looking for: a habit of reading the record before the brief, familiarity with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act or the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and the composure to be corrected by a bench and carry on with the argument.
Interns join us for a minimum of four weeks, are given real research and drafting work, attend hearings, and receive written feedback at the end of the placement. Applications should reach us at least eight weeks before the month you are seeking.
Three things, and nothing else
A curriculum vitae, one page if possible
Two is acceptable. We are interested in the matters you have worked on and what you did on them.
A writing sample of your own work
Three to five pages: a memo, an article, a section of a brief. Redact anything confidential. We read this first.
A short note on why this firm
A paragraph is enough, and it should be about our practice rather than about you.
Please write to info@inceptlegal.com with the position in the subject line. We acknowledge every application and respond to shortlisted candidates within two weeks.
Applications are processed for recruitment purposes only and retained for the period set out in our privacy notice.

Tell us the problem.
We will tell you, plainly,
where you stand.
Whether it is a tariff order to be appealed, a hearing already listed, or a notice that has just been served, we will tell you where you stand before you instruct us.
