Building India's legal workforce,
shaping tomorrow's legal leaders today
About The Legal School
The Legal School is India’s premier platform for practical
legal education, created to bridge the gap between
traditional law school learning and the real-world demands
of the legal industry. With expert-led courses designed in
collaboration with top law firms, we equip law students,
graduates, and professionals with the skills needed to thrive
in today’s competitive legal landscape.
Founders’ Desk
We are on a mission to empower the future of Indian
legal practice. We believe in fostering excellence
through comprehensive education, hands-on training,
and exposure to real-life legal environments.
India and the International legal landscape are
booming, with thousands of law firms, corporate legal
departments, and law schools. However, from our
experience, while building Classplus, a 5000 Crore
company, we've observed a significant gap between
potential and preparedness within the industry.
