In a significant move to fill the gap between legal pedagogy and professional practice, Symbiosis Law School (SLS), Hyderabad signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tavish Law Offices on October 4, 2025. With the collaboration, it is hoping to provide students greater exposure to actual legal settings and inculcate in them the practical hands-on training they need under the evolving legal dispensation today.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Mr. Pratik V. Rajopadhye, Managing Partner, Tavish Law Offices. On the occasion, he remarked on the growing need for law students to receive practical exposure beyond college walls. "Legal education has to catch up with the profession. Our tie-up with Symbiosis Law School will allow students to understand how theory is applied," he added.
The project also aims to provide a formal platform for experiential learning through which students will get an interface with practicing lawyers, clients, and case files directly.
Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad officials said that the tie-up is in consonance with the school's vision of harmonizing academic excellence with professional aptitude. "We want our graduates not just to know law but industry-fit as well. Arrangements like this allow our students to better acclimatize to the changing needs of the legal profession," said the school.
The MoU also provides scope for bilateral seminars, legal research work, and knowledge transfer exercises between the two institutes. It would act as an exemplar for industry-academia collaboration in legal education.
This project is another step by Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad in providing wholistic learning experience reaffirming its commitment to the development of the future generation of capable and ethics-oriented legal professionals.
