4,500 Law Firms. 38 Filters. One Search Box. Stop Guessing Where To Apply.

Ask any law student how they found the firms on their application list and the answer is almost always the same. A senior’s spreadsheet from three years ago. A WhatsApp message in a group they were lucky to get added to. A Google search that returned a list last updated in 2021.

The Indian legal directory has never existed as a public utility. It has always been a private one — passed down selectively, hoarded by placement cells, monetised by coaching centres.

Locus changed that. The directory at locus.legal is the most comprehensive searchable database of Indian law firms built for students — not recruiters, not law school administrators, not anyone with a fee gate.

What Is In It

Over 4,500 entries. Tier-1 firms. Tier-2 and Tier-3 firms. Individual chambers. Solo practitioners. SME litigation lawyers. Legal startups and in-house legal teams at technology companies. Every firm in India worth applying to, in one place.

Thirty-eight filters. City. Practice area. Firm size. PPO conversion rate. Intern stipend. Application window. A student looking for an M&A firm in Mumbai that pays interns and converts them can find that in under a minute. That search used to take three weeks.

Why It Matters

The average law student applies to fewer than ten firms because they only know of ten firms. The directory breaks that ceiling. When the full landscape is visible, students apply smarter, write better cover letters, and stop wasting cold emails on firms that are not hiring.

The directory also includes firm intelligence — an AI layer that answers specific questions about any firm. Practice areas growing at AZB. Partners handling disputes at Trilegal. Stipend benchmarks at SAM. With citations.

No premium tier. No paywall hiding the good firms. No email gate.
