New Delhi, April 8, 2025 — As the Indian legal sector undergoes an era of rapid transformation, The Legal School (TLS), an emerging leader in legal education, has positioned itself at the forefront of this change. Backed by leading edtech company Testbook, TLS has partnered with two of India’s most respected law firms—IndusLaw and Khaitan & Co—to revolutionize how legal professionals are trained, mentored, and placed in high-growth corporate roles.
Launched in October 2024, The Legal School is designed to equip law students, graduates, and practicing lawyers with practical, tech-integrated legal skills that match the evolving needs of the industry. By offering live sessions, mentorship from senior legal experts, and hands-on assignments, TLS has rapidly grown to become a go-to platform for professionals aiming to thrive in specialized domains such as Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Contract Law, Insolvency, and Data Privacy.
Backed by Industry Powerhouses
IndusLaw and Khaitan & Co are among India’s most respected full-service law firms, each bringing significant depth, scale, and credibility to The Legal School’s mission of transforming legal education.
These partnerships ensure that TLS programs are directly aligned with real-world legal practice, current hiring trends, and high-growth legal sectors.
Trusted by the Best in the Industry
Beyond its law firm partnerships, The Legal School is trusted by the best minds in Indian legal academia and industry. Its courses are co-developed and delivered by faculty from leading National Law Universities (NLUs), practicing lawyers, and heads of corporate legal teams. This rare blend of academic excellence and practitioner insights helps TLS learners not just acquire theoretical knowledge—but develop the practical, job-ready skills needed to succeed in India’s top law firms, legal departments, and compliance teams.
A Response to a Changing Legal Landscape
India’s legal sector is experiencing an unprecedented boom, driven by regulatory shifts, rising M&A activity, and technology adoption. The data paints a compelling picture of growth and opportunity:
- M&A deal values surged by 66% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2024, reaching $36.14 billion.
- India ranks among the top five globally in trademark filings and top six in patent filings, with patent filings growing at 15.7% annually.
- The DPDP Act, 2023, has triggered a surge in demand for data privacy lawyers, with companies offering salaries between ₹7–18 LPA to manage growing compliance needs.
In such a fast-evolving landscape, traditional law schools often fall short in preparing students for the real-world demands of corporate law, compliance, and technology-driven legal practice.
