Most Law Students Want to Work in Corporate Law.
But Very Few Know What Corporate Lawyers Actually Do.
Every year, thousands of law students say:
“I want to work in a top law firm.”
“I want to build a career in corporate law.”
“I want to work on big deals and transactions.”
But when they sit for an internship interview, a simple question is asked:
“Have you ever drafted a shareholder agreement?”
Or
“Do you know how due diligence works in an investment transaction?”
And suddenly, the room becomes silent.
Not because the student is not intelligent.
But because law school rarely teaches how corporate legal work actually happens in practice.
The Hidden Gap in Legal Education
In most law schools:
Students study the Companies Act, 2013.
They learn about corporate governance and contract law.
They write theoretical exams.
But corporate lawyers in real life are working on things like:
• Drafting NDAs and investment term sheets
• Structuring joint venture agreements
• Conducting legal due diligence for investors
• Managing mergers and acquisitions transactions
• Navigating SEBI regulations, FEMA, and compliance frameworks
These are practical professional skills.
And unfortunately, many students only see them after entering the profession.
This Is Exactly the Problem ADVOKIT Wanted to Solve
At ADVOKIT, we have interacted with hundreds of law students across India.
One pattern became very clear:
Students are motivated and ambitious.
But they lack structured exposure to practical corporate legal work.
That is why we are excited to announce the launch of:
ADVOKIT’s Professional Certificate in Corporate Law
A 6-month practice-oriented learning experience designed to help law students and young lawyers understand how corporate legal practice actually works.
What Makes This Different?
This is not just about learning corporate law theory.
Participants will actually learn how to:
✔ Draft commercial and corporate agreements
✔ Understand investment transactions and corporate finance
✔ Conduct legal due diligence
✔ Work on M&A transactions and restructuring
✔ Navigate Companies Act, SEBI regulations, FEMA, and compliance frameworks
But most importantly:
They will build a professional corporate law portfolio.
Something they can actually show during internship or job interviews.
Learning From Practicing Legal Professionals
The programme is supported by an expert panel including:
• Senior Advocates
• Supreme Court & High Court practitioners
• Corporate legal professionals
• Experts associated with leading law firms such as Khaitan & Co., AZB & Co., and Trilegal
So students don’t just learn what the law says.
They learn how lawyers actually use the law in practice.
Who Is This For?
This opportunity is ideal for:
• Law students interested in corporate law careers
• Young lawyers exploring law firm opportunities
• Students preparing for corporate internships
• Anyone who wants to move beyond textbooks into practical legal skills
The Goal Is Simple
To help law students become:
Confident
Competent
Industry-ready corporate lawyers
Not just law graduates.
A Message to Law Students
If you are serious about building a career in corporate law, start asking yourself:
Have I ever drafted a corporate agreement?
Do I understand how investment transactions work?
Do I have a portfolio that shows my legal skills?
If the answer is not yet, that is exactly where this journey begins.
