About the roleM3M 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.
