If you are looking to intern at Kochhar & Co., the first thing to know is that the firm has a dedicated internship application process on its website. The current application form asks for information about your academic background, preferred practice areas, preferred location and internship dates, along with your CV.
Kochhar & Co. is a full-service law firm with a broad practice covering areas such as Corporate, Commercial, Intellectual Property, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Real Estate, Tax and other legal and regulatory matters.
Quick answer
To apply for an internship at Kochhar & Co., use the internship application section on the firm’s official website.
The current form asks for your preferred start date, preferred location, preferred practice area, college or university, year of graduation, whether you have previously interned with Kochhar & Co., and your CV.

What to keep in mind
The application form itself gives you a useful indication of what Kochhar & Co. wants to know about an intern.
Your preferred practice area and location are specifically requested, so don’t select them casually. If you are interested in Intellectual Property, Corporate or Dispute Resolution, for example, have a basic understanding of what work in that area involves and why you want to explore it.
Your CV also matters. Keep it concise and make sure your substantive experiences are easy to identify. Previous internships, research, moots, publications, positions of responsibility and relevant academic work can help a recruiter understand your profile quickly.
Most importantly, don’t confuse information found on older internship websites with the firm’s current requirements. Application processes change. The live form is the better reference for what you need to submit today.
YLCC ACTION STEP: Before filling out the form, pick your preferred practice area and location. Then review your CV specifically for that choice. If you are applying for an IP internship, for example, make sure the reader can see any relevant coursework, research, writing, competitions or internship experience.
If this is you
If you already know your practice area: Use that clarity. Research the firm’s work in that area and make sure your CV reflects your genuine interest.
If you are still exploring: Don’t choose a practice area just because it sounds prestigious. Pick one you would actually like to understand through practical work.
If your CV is too long: Use the application as an opportunity to edit. Remove irrelevant details and prioritise substantive legal experience.
If you have previously interned at Kochhar & Co.: Make sure you answer the relevant question accurately, since the current form specifically asks about previous internships with the firm.
If you are a non-NLU student: Focus on what you can control: a clear CV, accurate application, relevant experience and a thoughtful choice of practice area.
PLEASE DON’T DO THIS: Please don’t copy an old eligibility rule, application deadline or document requirement from a third-party internship guide and assume it is still current. Check the live Kochhar & Co. application form before submitting anything.
