About Bay Counsel LLP

Bay Counsel LLP is a boutique law firm based in Bombay, with a focus on General Corporate, Taxation, Technology, Media and Entertainment Laws. The legal services are anchored in legal depth, enhanced by market awareness and seasoned, experience-driven insight, enabling clients to make sound business decisions while safeguarding their legal interests with rigour and foresight.

About the Job

They are hiring a Junior Associate (1 to 2 years PQE) to join their Media, Entertainment and Technology Practice at Bay Counsel LLP.

Eligibility

Prior experience in commercial contracting is essential, as is meaningful exposure to media, entertainment or technology related work of this nature. It is looking for someone who finds contracting cerebral and takes real pleasure in crafting contracts, thinks carefully about language, structure, leverage, risk allocation and commercial outcomes, and takes pride in refining templates to reflect client specific requirements, commercial sensibilities, bargaining power and the realities of each transaction rather than merely leaning on precedent.

Responsibilities

This is a drafting intensive role. A significant part of the work will involve preparing first drafts, turning around revisions quickly, and working through a high volume of commercial agreements across media, entertainment and technology mandates. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working at pace without compromising on clarity or quality, is self driven and responsive, takes ownership seriously, and understands that good contracting is not only about identifying risk, but about navigating it intelligently in a way that serves the client’s objectives.

You will work closely with Associate Counsel, Anjali Baskar and Managing Counsel, Sanjay Vasudevan. The role is flexible in terms of location. You may work out of our Bombay office at Worli, or remotely. Compensation will be competitive. We also believe in recognising value and contribution in a manner that reflects geometric growth rather than linear progression, including through dynamic incentives linked to responsibility, ownership and positive client outcomes.
