Legal Associate — M3M India

Location: Gurugram, Haryana (on-site) Experience: 1–2 years post-qualification Employment type: Full-time, permanent Joining: Immediate — within 10 days of offer (non-negotiable for this hire)

Education - LL.B. / B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) from Top law school; graduates of National Law Universities are strongly preferred.

About the role

M3M India is looking for a Legal Associate to join its in-house legal team in Gurugram. This is a generalist role built for someone early in their career who wants breadth rather than a single narrow lane. You will rotate across real estate and land matters, contracts and commercial documentation, litigation and dispute support, and corporate and regulatory compliance — and be developed in whichever of these you show the strongest aptitude for..

We are also actively building an AI-enabled legal function. Candidates who already use AI tools fluently for research, summarization and first-pass drafting — and who understand where those tools must not be trusted — will be given clear preference.

What you will do

• Conduct legal research on property, contract, corporate and regulatory questions and convert findings into crisp, decision-ready notes for the business.
• Assist with title due diligence, title search reports, land records verification and documentation for land and project transactions.
• Draft, vet and mark up commercial agreements — vendor, consultant, contractor, channel partner, brokerage, lease, MoUs and NDAs.
• Support RERA and other regulatory compliance: filings, registrations, disclosure obligations and compliance trackers.
• Support litigation and dispute management — case tracking, document collation, briefing and coordinating with external counsel, and drafting replies to notices, including consumer and RERA matters.
• Maintain the contract repository, obligation trackers and legal MIS, and flag renewals, expiries and risk items proactively.
• Use AI research and drafting tools to compress turnaround time, with every output independently verified against primary sources before it leaves your desk.

What we are looking for

Essential

• LL.B. / B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) from a recognised law school; graduates of National Law Universities are strongly preferred.
• 1–2 years of post-qualification experience in a law firm, in-house legal team, or chambers. Strong candidates with relevant internships plus one year of experience will be considered.
• Demonstrated proficiency with AI tools for legal research and drafting — for example Claude, ChatGPT, Harvey, Lexis+ AI, SCC Online AI or comparable platforms — with sound judgment on verification and confidentiality.
• Clear, precise legal drafting and the ability to write for business readers, not only for lawyers.
• Willing and able to join within 10 days.

Preferred

• Exposure to real estate, infrastructure, construction or land transactions.
• Familiarity with RERA, the Haryana land and revenue framework, and related approvals.
• Comfort with contract lifecycle management or legal-tech tooling.
• Moot court, journal, or legal-aid credentials from law school.
